"In all reality, this is the west's trojan horse into the middle east."
How can you come to this conclusion when all we see is evidence of the invasion and destruction of Europe by Moslem immigration to the degree that it is now rightly called Eurabia. The Europeans haven't shown the will to protect and defend themselves against this onslaught. It is more likely that they are, indeed, letting in the Trojan horse of Moslemism that will corrupt and ruin whatever Europeanism remains.
This is a very complicated subject. Western values tend to be more "catchy" than arab/islamic values. In other words, having a western influence in the middle eastern cultures will be more invasive than the arab/islamic influence on the west. A muslim visiting the west is more apt to assimiliate to western culture than a western person is apt to take on the islamic culture if visiting the middle eastern culture.
The mass imigration of arabs/muslims to Europe is not hidden as was the Trojan horse of lore. Turkey joining the EU is a much more subtle shift.
I firmly believe that once people of this part of the world are exposed to freedom and a better standard of living for several decades, this is what they will come to expect and they will toss off the oppresive yoke of Islam and the perverted way it is used in the Arab and Persian cultures.
It is only a matter of time until this backward part of the world is taken in to the modern world, either by influence or by force. The only remaining question is which one it will be.
