And the ease with which a savage living in London (or Stockholm...or Brussels) can travel to Rome is part of the reason why I have this fear.
I go to Europe every year for WEEKS and I love it there. I have been EVERYWHERE and I loved it everywhere. I didn't notice too many savages except those on the Italian streets driving. It's just the way they drive and there is nothing personal in their madman/woman method of driving.
My first cousin was a priest who lived in Rome seven years and HE had to drive like an Italian or get run over/down by the other drivers.
The Muslim women from the middle east don't HAVE to dress with the long black dresses when they come to the West. If they do it's because they want to. And who can blame them from what THEY consider comfortable?

NO country or faith has a corner on savagery. People have killed in the name of religion for as long as there have been warriors dying for their king, country, faith, whatever. You know that.
The Crusades were the last time that the Christians killed en masse for their faith.
I remember that many priests died for their faith at the hands of the FIRST Americans, the Indians, mistakenly thought to have come from India, but actually came over the Bering Straight and were Oriental Asians.
Folks fled England because THEY were being persecuted for their faith. Now who were they?? Oh yes, the Pilgrims. Thanksgiving...
The Irish were killed by the British for the "wearing of the green," which was MORE than just a color. It was their insistence on their faith as well. The fighting continued over the split of Ireland into NORTHERN IRELAND and the Republic of Ireland. They are STILL two countries today.
We tend to think that the killing for faith is the bailiwick of Islam. No, it's the bailiwick of intolerance. THAT is one of the major reasons why AMERICA was founded.
India has had THOUSANDS of years of infighting over faith. The Sikhs were persecuted for centuries. When Muslims went to India there was fighting. When Christians went to India there was fighting.
Side note about India: St. Thomas, the Doubter, did go to India and his legacy: Catholics in India, MANY of whom have the name THOMAS. God works in mysterious ways.
Also there ARE priests, a vicar and reverends in Saudi Arabia, ministering to the ARAMCONs spiritual needs. However, holy men, clerics, from other faiths are not permitted in Saudi Arabia so the Saudi government calls them SPECIAL TEACHERS. They all lived and worked in our camps right along with the rest of the ARAMCONS.
I started my routine of DAILY Mass in Ras Tanura, Saudi Arabia, because of my Muslim boss. My co-worker, a Catholic Indian, was the one who objected to it, even though I made up the time at my lunch hour. THANK you, Mohammad Hussein, for telling Harry and me that: "God is number one. There is always time for God. 'CloudMountain' (not my real name, of course) can go to pray whenever she wants to."
I attend daily Mass even today.
