Channel 4 and the NOP polling organisation are clearly biased?
The phrase clutching at straws springs to mind.

I have searched for the original poll myself. Nonetheless, there is no good reason to assume that CBS news has misrepresented it.
For instance, "hardcore Islamists" constituting 9% of the British Muslim population is entirely consistent with a British ICM poll that shows
• 1 in 8 British Muslims polled support demonstrators who call for the death of those who insult Islam
I don't think the original NOP poll, Channel 4 or the CBS article was suggesting that the hardcore Islamist and slightly more moderate aggressive defenders of Islam were aggressive all of the time.
The CBS News article also speaks of 3,000 British Muslims having returned home from al Qaeda training camps.

hat there is some kind of hidden agenda to take over the world is just plain ignorant
Nobody spoke of hidden agendas. And there can't be any...but...it does not change the fact...they (muslim comunity) "produce" more children than the average white EU family. That is not disputable. By sheer numbers...it is unavoidable.
Concerning your comment about black people taking over America....well...I guess non of you founding fathers imagined...that in few hundred years time...you will all bow down to a black president. Go figure...so I guess...they weren't that much off...
I often made the mistake to assume this was common knowledge but my (white) grandparents for example came from family's with around 10 brothers and sisters and this number has gradually lowered with the increase of wealth. I believe the same was true for a lot of European immigrants who traveled to the United States.
It used to be a protective measure as nobody cared for the elderly and they were solely dependant on their remaining familymembers to take care of them so you'd better have plenty of children.
So the most likely scenario is that when Muslims have reached a stable socio economic status and are prospering they too will produce less and less children like we "whites"have.

Whereas Christian countries haven't invaded anywhere recently.
Oh, hang on...

My vision is of a country with a prosperous and diversified economy in which any Saudi citizen, irrespective of gender who is serious about finding employment, can find a job in the field for which he or she is best qualified, leading to a thriving middle class and in which all Saudi citizens, residents or visitors to the country feel safe and can live in an atmosphere where mutual respect and tolerance exist among all, regardless of their social class, religion or gender.

I'm sure you can point to a modern country invading another in the name of Islam?
Sure, there are Islamic terrorists but in the last century there were many more people killed by marxist/leninist groups. The suicide bomb was invented by communists. And there are plenty of nutters holing up in the US with their guns in the name of Christ. Islam doesn't have anything like a monopoly on violence.

Here is an news article that discusses the muslim situation in France.
Interesting quote from article. "Given current birth rates, it is not impossible that in 25 years France will have a Muslim majority. The consequences are dynamic: is it possible that secular France might become an Islamic state?"
Another interesting quote "Currently, Islamists are only a fraction of France's Muslim population. In last week's demonstrations against the headscarf law, only 20,000 people turned out. But as in all radical movements, the young are the driving force. As their numbers increase, the militancy of Islam is likely to increase as well."
My opinion is that France has given their state away to the Muslims.
There are similar problems in Sweden. Parts of England are also full o asians.
I feel sorry for Europe because they have opened the doors to invasion by immigration.edit on 2-4-2013 by Wildbob77 because: spelling

On the contrary, if anything, history has shown that muslim people, once exposed to the ways of the West, generally start to trend towards those ways, versus the other way around.
Just in the two years I lived in Saudi, I saw changes taking place, and that was years ago.
Heck, look at this 2004 comment even...

Yes you are right about Marxism killing many in the name of Athiesm, it is a sad part of history.
And no no islamic country has invaded any western ones only due to military superiority of the western world. But migration and then imposing their ways of life is a form of passive invasion. They change local communities in the name of their religion. When the west invades a country they do not in the name of islam, yes they place favorable democratic governments(Muslim countries have long been ruled by dictators) only to get oil contracts etc, just for business, nothing to do with religion of the country being invaded. Do you see US building large amounts of churches in Iraq?

Well what will happen if a western woman tries to drive a car there, or even wears western clothes there? Not possible. Then try protesting there as a foreigner. Protesting so that they change their law. Try making a single church there. Try ordering pork in a restaurants, and protest if u dont get it. You will get deported if not imprisoned.
What happens when muslim migrants in the west want Islamic ways? They sometimes succeed. They succeeded in getting halal, a French poster says the anti headscarf law in France has not been implemented against muslim women, they build many mosques. Why this double standards?edit on 3/4/13 by asen_y2k because: (no reason given)
Facts are Muslims are ‘taking over the Western World’ faster than a snowball traveling downhill in a blizzard. If you do not agree you can take your - how was it you put it? Your ‘indignant, misplaced, xenophobic and often ignorant rhetoric and ideas for anyone that does not share your opinion’ and keep it - because you are wrong.
