Muslims represent far too small a percentage of the population for this scenario to be conceivable.

I think we do need to take Islam more seriously as a threat, but this is definitely overblown.

But some are very well connected, here and elsewhere.

I concur. I do, however, resent the attitude of other posters on this thread who equate "Islam is the problem" with "kill all billion plus of them." In the end, the idea that Islam is a religion of peace is every bit as silly as the idea that we can nuke Mecca and solve the problem.

One last thing, and everyone should consider what it is that gives Simmons some credibility on this issue: As another Freeper pointed out earlier in the thread, June 5th 1968 is not only the day Bobby Kennedy died, it is the day that the modern gun control movement was born. If the jihadis succeed in Europe, it will not be because of nukes or demographics, it will be because their intended victims are already disarmed.

Thanks much for your opinion, I know it took a lot of time out of your day to read this piece.
