More likely they'll weep into their wine (that is before the Muslims outlaw it) and curse the Americans for not saving them--yet again.
I like this one... "The British Commission for Racial Equality has ordained that businesses must provide prayer rooms for Muslims and pay them for their absences on religious holidays."
Solution: Don't hire Muslims.
I'm tempted to come up with a crackpot "religion" of my own with 300 holy days a year that we must take off to observe, the, errrrm, downing of beer, and of course we would need a Porche to pray in during our traveling to and fro.. its what the "founder did" and oh wait a sec, theres something in our "holy scriptures" about pay rises too...
The funny thing is you're not far off. Under all that drab garb, Muslim women like to have lots of gold, jewelry and nice clothes right down to the skin just as much as Western women. Women in Iran will dress up very, very nicely for a party, but throw on the hijab just for the trip so they don't get busted on the way.
And Mark Steyn says it so well:
"Once upon a time we knew what to do. A British district officer, coming upon a scene of suttee, was told by the locals that in Hindu culture it was the custom to cremate a widow on her husband's funeral pyre. He replied that in British culture it was the custom to hang chaps who did that sort of thing."
Mark is, IMO, the most talented columnist of our time.
"It seems that the Islamic takeover of Eurabia is aven more far-reaching than the "Black Death" "
What astonishes me is their propensity to get "offended" so easiy by the customs of a host contry.
They could cut short the "offences" by going back to ther Muslim "Paradise" countries, where they came from. It is not Europe which must accomodate them, but the other way around.
We both know the answer to that.
I had a thought about that....I expect a society in terms of 18th century American Judeo Christian morality will be inforced...if not more strict as in the type of society called for in the Mosaic Code!

The star guest, U.S. Senator Joe Biden, ranking Democrat on the Senate foreign relations committee, was missing. The organizers kept saying he was on his way. Moderator David Ignatius, a Washington Post columnist, apologized for the fact that wine had been served, upsetting the Muslim guests. Waiters cleared the offending glasses.
They also removed the menus since the hotel had planned to serve non-hallal meat, breaching Islamic dietary rules. Even the soup spoons were withdrawn -- erroneously, it transpired.
One participant asked whether different cultures could not tolerate each other's dietary customs. Foreign Minister Kamal Kharrazi responded that tolerance was fine but it did not mean people should not respect each other's religious values.
If wine was served, his delegation could not participate in the meal, he said.
