BERLIN--
Europe will have an Islamic majority by the end of this century based on current demographic and migration trends, a leading US Middle East specialist says.
"Europe will be part of the Arab west - the Maghreb," said Bernard Lewis, a Princeton University professor and author of numerous books on the Middle East, in an interview with the newspaper Die Welt.
In addition to immigration, Lewis said Europeans were marrying too late and having too few children whereas Muslims in Europe married early and had far larger numbers of children.
"Current trends show Europe will have a Moslem majority by the end of the 21st century at the latest," said Lewis as quoted by the paper.
Germany, the biggest European Union (EU) country, currently has over 3 million Muslims out of a total population of 82 million.
EU leaders will in December decide on whether to open membership talks with mainly Muslim Turkey which currently has a population of 70 million but is expected to outgrow Germany in coming decades.

Not completely out of the question. Napoleon I converted to Islam when he was running amuck around Yurrup and I have got the impression that some parts of the Napoleonic Code were based on Sharia.

He wasn't even talking to you to begin with. You interject your smart a$$ comment and look where you are now.

Well, European christians eradicated the islamics back in 1099AD. AND in 1529. And in 1683.
Yet all muslims do is stew about the Crusades.

I'm pretty sure you said my statement was ignorant because you disagreed with it, considering that my statement in question was said before I cried about freedom of speech.
To: abercrombie_guy_38
You are mistaking wild-eyed banter with a constitutional guarantee which will return more wild-eyed banter.
Defend yourself or chill. The US Constitution is a shield you don't need to win your argument here.

The Muslim's formula to conquer Europe, then the world:
Keep women uneducated, behind bursa's, barefooted in the kitchen and pregnant.
Results: population growth, willing fighters to die for the cause, religious laws calling for eradication of infidels, no liberal interest groups calling for abortion, same sex marriage, separation of church/state.
After obtaining their goal of conquests, will they soften up also, led by a Islamic N.Y.Times?

The guy who disagrees with me lives in So Cal. All the defense I need is for him to look outside his window and not just at the good looking women.
To: wtc911
I'll take Hispanics like my neighbors (Engineer, nurse, one son at MIT, one at Parris Island) over some of the nitwits on this forum any day of the week. Agreed! Plus, I would welcome a Catholic Hispanic [Latino] neighbor over an Islamic Muslim any day.

Good luck!
I would like to share your optimism of the American people waking up but the re-election of bill clinton and the continuing election of democrats has broke me from trusting the American public's judgement

For those immigrants with a lot to offer there's a concept they and you need to learn.....LEGAL immigration.
__________________________________________
A concept that I "need to learn"....what an arrogant, presumptuous little priss.
I guess that everytime you, "American Spirit" (now that is funny) see a Spanish name all you can think of is drug dealers, murderers and rapists. You just might be one of those on this forum to whom I refer in my post.

What's important is not so much who is replacing the population of the West it is that the populations are being replaced. We're witnessing the demise of Western civilization, a calamity far larger than the fall of Rome (which ushered in the dark ages), brought about by internal treason, rotten media, and the decadence of wealth. Think of the unchallenged position of the West 100 years ago, and look at the trends now.

You can bet the guys disagreeing with you don't live in areas where there are 25 sharing a house.
If you do live in an area like you describe, why? This is America. You are presumably an American by birth....can't you do better?

I'll second that. At least in a Catholic Church, you know they won't be stockpiling guns and explosives for the purpose of killing your kids.

Read my ealier post, I live in southern California, the front lines of your supposed invasion. I'd take all Mexicans as my neighbors over one ambercrombie every day of the week.
