"[ Deport the Muslims that we have. ]
-OR- convert them to a REAL God.."
...by the sword? Seems to me the converting is done in their hearts, all we can hope is to share the good news with them. Splitting hairs?
Sounds like a good idea to me. ;^)
We all know this has been building for a long time.
And European "leaders" know that they are responsible for it, and the endless problems it involves. I have no idea whether it is effectively "too late" but a great many people think it is NOT too late. Europe in general will be given a number of chances in upcoming years to elect the right people who will stop this trend in its tracks, if not reverse it. In those places where the population is older and able to put up less of a fight, the picture for the future is very ugly, and tragically regrettable.Bernard Lewis was once a great authority on this subject, but I don't take his opinion as gospel these days,since I believe he's at least 90. As such, his is a highly vulnerable point of view, much like those parts of the aged European population that have just rolled over and given up already.

"Muslims 'about to take over Europe'"
About to?
Thanks for the reference to a thoughtful and analytical article on this subject. If I may, I'll quote a small section of it --
Your post from last week mentioned the magic words "political Islam" so I thought you might like it. I shall be using that phrase more and more because it fits Islam so well
Islam = religous cover for Arab conquests. That was it's original use. Now it's religious cover for a political movement to take over the world and we don't know how to digest this brutal reality
Well, I don't hold them guilty for WW1 - we made them shoulder the blame once we won, but the truth is that the European powers were circling each other with hands on their holsters. WW1 was caused/abetted/permitted by all the major powers in Europe.
The evils Germany encompassed in WW2 though are of an order that justifies your reservations on that basis alone.
However, I must say I believe they've faced up to those crimes - certainly far better than the Japanese. (Obviously I'm focussing on WW2 losers only here; no one's ever made Stalin & Mao, successors etc apologise for their crimes...!
