......demeaning......

No offense taken. {LOL} I wrote those things with the full realization that the scenario is a little far-fetched. Still, as I said, it DID happen before with the Nazis so I was just wondering.

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.......................book scenario?

........in the US it is not just the Muslims that are hidden inside the Trojan Horse of multi-culturalism.......

Good point. However, as I've opined on other Threads.......Europe's Moose-limb immigrants are OUR Mexicans (ie. we BOTH seem to be using immigration to provide cheap labor and keep consumerism and our capitalist economies going). At least the Mexicans (and others from south of the border) are Christians.

1) Can these countries opt out of a democratic form of government and institute Sharia Law by popular vote, much the same as Hitler was voted into power and then immediately got rid of all democratic institutions?

This question assumes that the current forms of government in Western Europe would continue to function as before even as the Islamic population grew closer to the tipping point.

I think it more likely that countries at risk of turning Islamic, such as Belgium and France, would likely become ungovernable as currently constituted once Islamic immigrants form the majority of their urban population, but before forming the majority of the overall population.

These countries would likely break apart into Islamic-controlled city-states and xenophobic European-controlled successor states.

2) Once these countries accept Sharia Law and therefore inherit all the infrastructure of the former country, such as nuclear bombs and missles, can they then declare war on the US and target us?

Again, this assumes that these countries would continue to exist as currently constituted up to the moment Islam takes over, and that the minority European populations would peacefully submit to their new rulers and turn over the infrastructure to them without protest.

I think it more likely that much of these countries' wealth would be transferred out of the country to safer havens before an Islamic takeover. Not just personal assets, but also corporations moving their headquarters and manufacturing plants offshore.

I also think that a lot of military infrastructure would either be destroyed in combat in civil war or deliberately to keep it out of Islamic hands and turned on the Europeans.

The Islamic countries would inherit a scorched earth Europe with significant European populations which, for sheer size, would take much effort to suppress. Attacks on the United States would have to wait until the conquered territories of Western Europe were pacified and reorganized internally along Islamic lines.

Belgium is simply a micro-cosim of the possible effects of multi-cultualsim in the US.

Multi-cultualism is the hook that is being used to pull our youth into the communist thought. Multi-cultualism is being pushed in our universities through every discipline.
English classes focus on multi-cultual, women authors. Philosophy classes focus on Islam in their philosophy of religion courses and a variety of courses prepare students for a career in advocacy of radicalism.

Thanks for the input and scenarios.

As I said, this is just something I've wondered about; especially given declining caucasian-European birthrates.

micro-cosim= microcosm, I had it right the first time. Sorry, I have always been terrible at spelling, a by-product of sight reading.

Many thanks1 Regarding the jihad cancer, in the long run, only a Carthaginean solution will finish this. Any soort of forebearance is taken to be weakness in that part of the world.

Yes. The brainwashing is all pervasive.

Is polygamy acceptable? The French legal instances prefer to avoid the issue; same with the veil, and that in a country where "laicité" is supposed to be an iron principle – particularly on the Left. Same with arranged marriages, sexual mutilation of girls, etc. – all implicitly, if not formally tolerated in the name of "tolerance" – open mindedness to the extreme…

Massive immigration with political correctness doesn't work out very well at all. Not all people coming in wish to assimilate ---some wish to impose their culture instead. Immigration doesn't always mean assimilation into the established culture.

And a lot can assimilate ---they would even faster without bilingualism and welfare. It's a different issue for sure.

I have no problem with immigrants maintaining the parts of their culture that are not in conflict with our laws, but that is where I draw the line and this is where weak kneed Europeans have gone wrong.

I think that they misjudged the controllability (is that a word?) of the Islamic immigrants. The leftist thought to use the Muslims to strengthen their own interests and break the back of any capitalistic opposition, but it has boomeranged as the title states.

militant islam is a cancer, and its spreading.

You hit the nail on the head. Less than 1% of the USA population understand what you said, nor what this means.

With some 20 million Moslems Mexicans, Western Europe the United States is increasingly having to face the issue of their unwillingness to play by the historic rules of immigration – assimilation and respect for national laws. Long avoided by the cultural and political elites, the issue is being brought to the fore by radical, vocal and media savvy, albeit often self appointed spokesmen of the Moslem Hispanic populations , as well as by an electorate increasingly fed up with high immigrant numbers, criminality and refusal to adapt to local customs. Not surprisingly, the more "tolerant, progressive and open minded a country State, the more likely that such problems become critical. While few European countries States are more progressive and open minded than little Belgium California, its recent problems with the Moslems Hispanics serve as a likely preview for the others.

An article recently posted on FR said that the most popular baby's name is Belgium is Mohammad. Sorry, Belgium. You have a beautiful country, but you're screwed.

Removing NATO will be a good fist step to insuring the permanent irrelevancy of Belgium, but the real importance of this article is in the relationship to the multicultural movement in the US.
