Observers Foresee a Europe Divided Along Muslim / Non-Muslim Lines
By Chad Groening
The director of the group Jihad Watch says things have gotten so bad in Europe that the only solution to the Islamic problem might be to divide the continent into Muslim and non-Muslim enclaves.
Much has been made of the growing Muslim presence in Europe. According to 2005 statistics, roughly 10 percent of the population in France is Muslim -- percentages in Bulgaria and Russia, says IslamicPopulation.com, are even higher (12 and 19 percent, respectively). And in Southern Europe, there are considerably higher percentages in Macedonia (30), Bosnia Herzegovina (60), and Albania (70). By comparison, estimates place the Muslim presence in the United States at around two percent of the population.
Robert Spencer of Jihad Watch notes there are already vast areas surrounding major European cities like Paris that have been completely taken over by Muslims. Spencer, who describes this as a "very dangerous situation," says there is much pessimism about how things are going to play out.
"I was in the Hague [Netherlands] not long ago for a conference, and some of the speakers were saying that they think the only solution, the only ultimate outcome, is going to be a conflict that leads to division of territory within Europe with Muslim and non-Muslim enclaves," he says.
The result, says Spencer, is that Europe could wind up like Israel with its Palestinian problem. "The problem is much further down the road for us [in America]," he adds. "We don't have that kind of Muslim population; but we need to face the fact that there is no clear delineation within the Muslim community, either in America or in Europe, between moderates and extremists."
Supposed "moderate" Muslims, he asserts, have done nothing to defuse the extremism found in the Muslim population. "The moderates, so-called, do not expel the extremists from their communities, [and] they don't root them out," he states. "They're not cooperating, for the most part, with law enforcement officials in anti-terror efforts -- and we have to face the implications of that."
Spencer says even though the Muslim percentage in the United States is relatively small, it is clear that "moderate" Muslims on American soil are not eager to help deal with their radical brethren either.
As clear as mud.
they were to kick them back to north africa, there would literally be not enough people in europe to do most of the manual labor and low skilled jobs
What a crock that is. Worst case you have fewer hotel and restaurants--and the people who work there make more.
We haven't heard much muslim outcry in the U.S. denouncing the terrorists, wouldn't you agree?
You sir, are correct.
It's the most drastic western civilization will support. and I bet there would be all kinds of objections raised to even that. That's why Western Civilization's days are numbered. Mohammedans are willing to take far more drastic action to achieve their goals. But Western Civilization places limits on its actions, even to prevent its extinction.
Ah, but there really are hundreds upon hundreds of millions of "moderate" Muslims who want nothing more than to throw their arms around America and give us all a big sloppy kiss on the cheek, and link arms with us in the building of a peaceful world...just because I can't present a single concrete specimen that fits that bill, you really, really, really just have to believe me! They're out there! Scouts honor! Cross my heart hope to die!

Quelle surprise.
This is the sanest comment herein. Well Done.

Here's another:
We're going to find out, sooner or later,
If Abdul will pray, to a smoking crater.
Think of it this way: the appallingly low birth rates of non-Muslim Europeans is equivalent to the defeat and annihilation of million man non-Muslim European armies in the cultural war between Islam and the west.
This sounds like pat you on the back and piss on your leg at the same time.
Its a good thing we still have the 2nd amendment.
Exactly. The "moderate" appeasers of the Islamo-fascists have perfected that tactic into something of an art form. While their extremist brethren are busy running around blowing things up and beheading people, their "moderate" apologists keep busy by explaining it all away as just a freak occurrence by a few "bad apples." And blaming Israel.

I agree 100%.
The Germans will help. They haven't changed that much. Especially if they the part west of the Rhine too.

Muslim-Nonmuslim partition doesn't work. Just look at India and Pakistan. Pakistan is virtually free of non-Muslims, thanks to Islamic generocity. India has hundreds of millions of muslims and one territory that is muslim majority and the source of terrorism.
Muslim rioters in the US will have access to that very same right.
