Give it time. IMO the EU will collapse upon itself.

In close examination of Sam Huntington's "Clash" thesis, the tribal instinct and its cohesiveness trumps collectivism, in spades.

In due course, Europe will incrementally become Islamic -- and without question, we will see a great deal of follow-on accomodist (appeasement) rationale introduced into European policy, at all levels.

The poor post-WW-11 national leadership -- for a number of reasons --brought this upon themselves; and the cork is well out of the bottle -- never to be replaced until the civilizational shift has gone full circle.

Europe is a Dead Man Walking!

The ironic thing about the weak kneed, accomodationist, anti-hero worshipping left is it is a product of the 1960s plan of the Soviets to distablize the west using the ideas of Antonio Gramsci. See John Fonte's excellent "Why We Have A Culture War" article for a backgrounder. It used to be before the Soviet's scheme that any smart person could make observations and speak on topics and his idas could apply to all people. Now, only Muslims are allowed to speak for muslims, only blacks are allowed to speak for blacks, etc. This is the concept of "organic intellectuals" which Gramsci pioneered.

Now the Arabs who were unaffected by the soviet cultural campaign and still playing by 19th century rules are charging into the ideological vacuum that has been created now that the Soviets have lost interest.
