Correct me if I am wrong but Islam reveres Jesus as a prophet -- and when the Last Temptation of Christ was circulating in cinemas Iran banned it and condemned it.
Our enemy is not Islam, it is the atheistic leadership of western Europe. If civil war does someday break out we can only hope the eastern European countries will quickly smash western Europe and assimilate it into a greater Slavic nation.

Christ is acknowledged as one of the prophets of god, and such, but I don't think he is acknowledged as the son of god, which would make him "the Christ."
The drawback, however, is that there is no way to reconcile Islam as a follow up to Christianity. The very things that Islam establishes as requirements, the strict exercise of faith, the general punishments of violations of those exercises and so on, are precisely counter to the things that Jesus was defying. Christ was killed cuz he didn't demand much. In Islam everyone else dies cuz they demand everything. Completely counter to the education of Free Will that fundamental to the faith of Christ.
Ironic this is coming from an atheist. (me)

Yes, Islam reveres Jesus as a prophet, and then denies everything he taught about himself. Or, as they would put it, they have the true teachings of and about Jesus and the Church and its New Testament has it all wrong.
As far as continental Europe goes -- I'm always reminded that it was the birthplace of communism and fascism, and that the EU seems to have learned nothing from that history.

"Our enemy is not Islam,...."Wrong. We have many enemies and islam and islamofascists in general are our enemies. They just happen to be the enemy I most want to hurt.

Our enemy IS islam. (eu spelling.)
There are legally ONLY three classes of people : Islamic fundementalists, slaves, and people who have paid Islamic fundementalists for the "right" to belong to another religion. Temporarily, until converted.
The only other legal class of people is "dead".
