The French, who are so protective of their culture their government has an official department charged with keeping non-french words such as 'hamburger' out of the language, will wake up soon to the fact they must face the realities of demographics: there are many people they have allowed to live in France who have no desire to become French.
Further, many of these people have cultural and religious values that are openly hostile to France, and these people are reproducing at rates many times that at which the native French are.
If the French do not do something very soon, they will have lost France to people who will gladly impose an Islamic culture, a power-oriented culture that will not make the same mistake as it reshapes the nation.
This implies that the French must do something drastic, for their liberal democratic values force them to commit cultural suicide based on the relative rates of reproduction. The options are stark and conflict with a range of liberal values: the native French must start to have a lot more children, or they must deport large numbers of Muslim non-natives.
Retaking Europe since the Spanish expelled the Muslims over 500 years ago has long been the goal of Islam. Indeed, the Madrid train bombings were done in the name of reclaiming " Andalusia", the Moorish name for southern Spain.
I tend to think of it as the "European Caliphate"
That's it exactly. They will never be French, they only wait until France becomes Shari'a, and they are starting to feel cocky.
Good points, except for the fact that "Al-Andalus" was the name for present day Andalucia.
