"REFLECTIONS ON THE REVOLUTION IN EUROPE: Immigration, Islam, and the West," by Christopher Caldwell
"Reflections on the Revolution in Europe" -- an allusion to Burke -- is the latest...treating the conflict between post-Christian Europe and a resurgent Islam. Christopher Caldwell...makes arguments that have been made elsewhere: Mass immigration has changed Europe's demography and is rapidly changing its culture. Many immigrants to Europe have failed to assimilate; many retain or have developed an Islamic identity antithetical to liberal European values. But Caldwell makes these arguments unusually well...
In 1968, Britain's Shadow Defense Secretary, Enoch Powell, described Britain's immigration policy as "mad, literally mad," and warned of a day when native-born Britons were "strangers in their own country . . . their homes and neighborhoods changed beyond recognition." He invoked the prophecies of the Sybil in the Aeneid: "I seem to see 'the River Tiber foaming with much blood.' " Widely viewed as outrageously racist, this minatory speech destroyed his career.
In Caldwell's view, "All British discussion of immigration has been, essentially, an argument over whether Enoch Powell was right." The answer, he says, depends whether we mean right in the moral or factual sense. Caldwell agrees that the language of the speech was inflammatory and malicious, but he argues that Powell's demographic projections and visions of blood were -- factually -- correct. The story, Caldwell observes, has been similar throughout Europe, an assertion he documents with a catalogue of ties between immigrants who do not seem to love their new European homes and violence, crime, rioting and terrorism.
...He argues rather that there is enough of an Islamic identity, and enough of European values -- attenuated though these may be -- that they are not easily reconciled and, if reconciled at all, will not necessarily be reconciled in Europe's favor...

Either that or the Chinese will take over. That may end up being the only hope for Europe.
Even Wikipedia has a fairly lengthy and detailed article about Eurabia:

And you can’t say the Brits and the Euros haven’t been sufficiently warned:

The Chinese taking over what?
When will these morons realize that Muzzies operate in complete abeyance to Islamic scripture?
Ishaq:204 "'Men, do you know what you are pledging yourselves to in swearing allegiance to this man?' 'Yes. In swearing allegiance to him we are pledging to wage war against all mankind.'"
Qur'an:9:5 "Fight and kill the disbelievers wherever you find them, take them captive, harass them, lie in wait and ambush them using every stratagem of war."
Qur'an:8:39 "Fight them until all opposition ends and all submit to Allah."
Ishaq:587 "Our onslaught will not be a weak faltering affair. We shall fight as long as we live. We will fight until you turn to Islam, humbly seeking refuge. We will fight not caring whom we meet. We will fight whether we destroy ancient holdings or newly gotten gains. We have mutilated every opponent. We have driven them violently before us at the command of Allah and Islam. We will fight until our religion is established. And we will plunder them, for they must suffer disgrace."
Why do western politicians not understand this?
oops. Obeyence.
Taking over Europe, you know, living space.

Because they don’t want to. The takeover of Europe by Islam was launched by the squish-headed British Left (and made worse by France’s Algerian War). To acknowledge the reality of what Islam is doing to Europe would be to admit that Enoch Powell, a conservative, was right. They can’t back down without also admitting that their entire rationale for allowing in unlimited numbers of Muslins was a giant betrayal of the European people at the end of World War II, and that their betrayal has accelerated beyond the point of no return.
The religion of Political Correctness on these issues of immigration and Islam are fading away, in a few years even the leftards will say they were never for the policies of our current day. What Caldwell wrote has been written long before, but then it was dismissed by the charlatans of authority as something called “racist” by the kiddie cults of liberalism.
How can we make way for the new Europeans when we Americans are too busy making way for the new Americans?
Perhaps the most ironic part of this is that these immigrants come from Arab & SW Asian countries that are attempting to tamp down religious extremism at home so that their secular governments can survive. Egypt has problems with the “Muslim Brotherhood”, Pakistan has problems with the Taliban, etc. It’s to the point where the chief export from all these countries is a radical form of Islam that isn’t fully tolerated at home, but thrives in the “anything goes” European culture.
Europe, the UK is already doomed. They just don't know it yet. When the Muzzies start their victory bloodbath, maybe they will realize it moments before their heads are lobbed off, if they are so lucky to have such a quick fate as that. They used to use some pretty gruesome slow death techniques, sawing people in half, spiked boxes, evisceration and such.
I am a new American (legal immigrant), faithfully espoused to the second ammendment and not hesitant to use it. On behalf of other new Americans, I say, “Bring it!”
Also, strongly consider FJORDMAN, a heavyweight scholar blogger with many pieces on the Islamization of Europe...a collected link of his work:

Pakistan is not SW asia — it is South Asia, part of the Indian subcontinent along with AFghanistan (and of course India, Sri Lanka, etc)
