Here's a great video which pretty much shows us how things could be in 50 years or so.. Pretty scary if its accurate.

Lately there has been a trend towards Islamisation of Europe, more specifically of Western Europe, a land which holds human rights to the highest levels. We have seen the calls for Sharia Law. The mass immigration from Islamic worlds have not helped either. Muslims immigrants mostly form small communities and then they try to force the majority of the populations into the Islamic way. We have seen mosques cropping up throughout Europe.
The fact that bugs me the most is that, no way in hell can you preach, demand christian ways, open churches in Muslim countries like Saudi Arabia, Iran, etc. Why this double standard.
I am not a christian or a Muslim, but live amongst the international student community in a European country. I will speak from my experience here: Muslim students have a majority. And all the violence among muslims vs non Muslims(foreign students) and Muslims vs local is full of Muslims against all. Within a few years of gaining majority, they introduced Halal food and soon after that gang violence against anyone non Muslim(foreigner and locals), due to minor reasons. Even a murder in the last 5 years where a Muslim guy killed a local Jewish doctor. NO and I mean NO violence has taken place between non Muslims and locals. Muslims always group together regardless of nationality. Why is it that its always the Muslims? Mind you, I am not generalizing. Its first hand experience. Do you share this view or not and why?
I had a very tolerant view towards Islam, but after 5 years living in a Muslim majority community, I can no longer accept the view.
I fear for the future of the world. Islam has not changed over the ~1500 years. Christianity has. I fear the day they gain absolute majority. I wish to discuss this with my fellow ATSers. Do you share this view or not and why?edit on 2/4/13 by asen_y2k because: (no reason given)

And what are you talking about, "the Islamisation [sic] of Europe"? Last time I checked, there are western European countries trying to ban the wearing of burkas and head scarves, so in fact just the opposite of what you claim is happening.

I see the problem as slightly different.
Since at-least 1953 with the overthrow of the democratically elected leader of Iran, the West has been obsessed with the ME's oil.

They just finally stipulated that it includes a veil. Up to then, the law was not enforced on Muslim women, out of respect for their religion.
So they stopped getting the free pass to break the existing laws that all other french people must obey.
This is another example of how the french have made way too many concessions to be respectful and trying to appease the arabs, and got walked on.

A NOP Research survey reported that "hardcore Islamists" make up about 9% of the British Muslim population.
It is estimated that a further group of slightly more moderate Muslims "staunch defenders of Islam" (29%) aggressively defend Islam from internal and external threats, real or imagined.
CBS News
If 38% of British Muslims are either hardcore radicals or staunch defenders of Islam, then that's 1,064,000 aggressive Muslims.
By way of comparison, the UK police force has 134,101 policeman.

So you're saying that France passing a law that makes the veil illegal in public places is an example of them making a concession to radical islam?
An odd conclusion to make.
