Eurabia: What can we say about the impact of Muslim demographics on Europe?
American Thinker ^ | 04/27/2026 | Bill Ponton

Posted on 04/27/2026 10:27:43 AM PDT by SeekAndFind

The demographic shift has a sinister political dimension if the fundamentalist brand of Islam continues to rise amongst this rapidly growing segment of the population.

No matter what European politicians may say to downplay the negative impact of Moslem immigration, they cannot deny that the continent will experience an unprecedented demographic shift by the end of the century. If the current rate of Muslim immigration continues, Europe’s Muslim population could grow from 30 million today to about 110 million by 2100. This estimate assumes that the Muslim fertility rate will move downward over that period to approach native fertility rates, a dubious assumption in my opinion (see chart below).

To put this in perspective, that means that 25% of Europe’s population will consist of Muslims by 2100 (see chart below).

(Pew Research has their own similar predictions here. )

Current European politicians, believing that immigration is good in any form and at any scale, prefer to ignore any problems with it. However, the demographic shift has a sinister political dimension if the popularity of a fundamentalist brand of Islam continues to rise amongst this growing segment of the population. Europe may be in store for sectarian conflict on a scale that would dwarf the sectarian troubles of Northern Ireland and Lebanon in the 1970s that captured so much attention in the media. The level of sectarian strife may approach what Europe experienced during the religious wars of the 16th century.

Multicultural experiments are fragile by nature. With weak assimilating forces, migrants tend to remain as separate communities; a mosaic rather than a melting pot emerges. Group identity plays a greater role in politics with opportunists claiming to speak for the group acquiring a disproportionate voice. Ultimately, these opportunists see fomenting sectarian and racial division...

Europe is lost. The USA is too if we don’t deport illegal invader muslims and figure out how to treat the religion of islam as a hate crime.

At least in Germany...

Illiterate Ahmed is allowed to bring 6 wives with him and have 30 kids all collecting lifetime welfare. Ahmed and his wives will never have to work and neither will his 30 kids.

That is not hyperbole.

The left reads “Camp of the Saints” as an instruction manual. They see its ending as utopia.

I fear that is correct. While more than likely I won’t be here to see it, my adult children and grandchildren are screwed.

Sad part is the American people let it happen.

In the 80s, I taught an adult Sunday School class, and I did a series on Islam. I told my class, “We should pray that Islam never gets a foothold in the U.S. or any western civilization.” Seeing Islam spread like this absolutely sickens me.

Outlaw Islam? Kill Muslims?

Too mean spirited and barbaric?
Surrender!
The only way forward!

. . .to treat the religion of islam as a hate crime.

I have one quibble with your statement. We need to recognize that Islam is not, fundamentally, a religion. It is a total cultural system - totally against the Western culture in all aspects. It would be better to say that Islam is sharia law, which includes a religious element, a financial element, an educational element, and a judicial element.

When we think of it as a religion, especially from an American perspective where we recognize (at least, most of us do) that many who came here were searching for religious freedom, we remember when WWII combat units would have multiple faiths and still consider themselves Americans - and fight together as comrades in arms.

That is not the way Islam works.

If we focused on the fact their plan is to implement sharia law - which is fundamentally unConstitutional - then they could not hide behind the 1st Amendment.

Muslims are n a conquest to conquer the world and convert it to Islam but they will use Taqiyya to deny that.

OK, quibble accepted. I should have put religion in quotes, because it is really a totalitarian cult.

The Germans are such chumps. The thought their need for cheap labor would be fulfilled by importing fighting age Syrians.

This should be corrected to say, "Sad part is the corrupt politicians let it happen."

Yes, but in the end it is us as a whole who vote these turds in: both liberal pos’s and worse RINO traitors. I also blame the infestation of the education system by the commies/socialists/foreigners.

The closest equivalent would be Nazism.

That is not the way Islam works.
__________________________________
Just a few observations on how Islam works — Islam is a strict totalitarian theocratic political system that has an evil, demonic aspect to it. It is viewed as a religion by Muslims because of its many absolutisms that control every aspect of their daily life. This means it mirrors Communism as a political system because it initially gains power and control through deceitfulness and, once attained, it demands total obedience as the only acceptable governing system. It’s a system that is evil and politically abhorrent to Western individual freedoms of choice, liberty, religion, thought, speech and life style. It is an all encompassing, movement focused on conquer, control, and death over people using sheer force rather than governing through thoughtful, just persuasion, making it totally incompatible with Western Culture.

I don’t think that is quite accurate, either.

[They] cheat, and steal elections.
