In less than a week the major political parties of the Right in Britain and Italy scored unprecedented electoral victories by winning mayoral races in Rome and then in London. Since the end of the Second World War, the Right had never controlled those two offices.
To grasp what this means, consider that "Londonistan" is the title of an excellent book by Melanie Phillips which warns of the descent of that great city into a radical Moslem polity. The citizens of Londonistan have chosen an iconoclastic Conservative Party leader, Boris Johnson, who has campaigned on the need to reduce crime in London and who has condemned the academic boycott of Israel by British universities as "disgusting and one sided." Although Johnson is more an offbeat moderate than a strong conservative, in Londonistan the change is dramatic and sweeping compared to what it had been before.
His defeated opponent, "Red Ken" Livingston, was a blatant fan of every Marxist thug and radical Moslem in the world. Livingston's comments about the Holocaust, about Israel and about the suspect loyalties of young Jews in Britain are despicable. Goodbye to a mayor who said: "For far too long the accusation of anti-Semitism has been used against anyone who is critical of the policies of the Israeli government, as I have been."

Good points:”Parasitic bureacracies”Apt description-they exist solely to undermine society and freedom.”Okay,call me cynical.”Your not cynical,just making a statement of fact.”That’s where the real control is.....”The left has spent decades(successfully)infiltrating gov at the local,state,and federal level.Of course let’s not forget the various groups that are funded by OUR tax dollars to promote the same agenda.The Nat’l Lawyers Guild,ACLU,NAACP,LaRaza,etc.....
You are both right.
Europe has seen many massive wars in the past...and no corrupt EU or Euro or Hague or NATO can change the inevitable clash.
The more they/we move away from the Lord’s teachings the faster the coming conflagration.

That’s a scary thought.
When “nothing” affords you some civil rights and “something” wants you in a burqua I venture that nothing can indeed win.
Why is Islam so prevalent in our prisons? Because it offers a lot of lost people who seek some sort of meaning at least an option.
Secular Humanism by its nature would rather have you live under Islam than die for itself.

You should check your numbers. There are about 3-5 % Islamic people in europe and mostly as secular as the other religions

I have read that there re 20M+ Muslims in Europe, which would be closer to 5%.
Nonetheless, the issues are not so much the number right now, but how many Muslims will live there in 1 or 2 generations, how well they are assimilating and the track record of Muslims integrating into foreign cultures. On these issues the situation is not so favorable, there are plenty of articles and books, Londistan being a good resource.

It is undeniable that several European countries will have a high percentage of Muslims in their populations in the next 30 years. What Muslims will do with this political power is undetermined, but if history stays true, it will be a problem for western culture.
