In other words, Steyn argues that Europeans have grown accustomed to a certain way of life that he says will eventually prove fatal. Are Muslims included in that population that has become familiar with whatever that may be?

If I understand what is meant by "sharia?" "Shari?"--a more fundamentalist-radical kind of Islam--I don't buy that idea that Muslims in Europe would embrace the concept. Seems to me there are a number of Muslims, everywhere in the West, who are "faithful" to their religion w/o being fundamentalist. So why would a vocal minority of fundamentalists sway all and any of them in country? Not all Muslims are that way in countries where Islam is predominant.

For the most part yes.

” I don't buy that idea that Muslims in Europe would embrace the concept. Seems to me there are a number of Muslims, everywhere in the West, who are "faithful" to their religion w/o being fundamentalist.”

I would rather go with polls:
From the article:
“ According to a poll taken in 2004, over 60 percent of British Muslims want to live under sharia—in the United Kingdom.”

"So why would a vocal minority of fundamentalists sway all and any of them in country?"

Muslims in general want to live under Shari laws, that is why a fairly western thinking country such as Iran has been taken over by the whack jobs. They don't have 'elections' the people are content with what they have, so there is no revolt.
