Are Muslims Taking Over Europe?

Oh, those Muslims never quit. They continue to puzzle and scare. I'm talking about the recently-discovered European Muslims: in Britain, France, Germany, and Holland, who are seen as a "problem." Because, in case you didn't hear, they are taking over.

Not scared yet? Read more.

Hi Amal, is this about the Muslim Demographics video? I have a post in process about it.

The fear-mongering and cooked numbers are a shame, but it is a concern on several fronts. We know of people from France, Belgium and Holland who are immigrating to Australia as they feel their way of life is over.

Refugees (people I knew) who fled to Europe from oppression are shocked to find that the mentalities they fled are alive and well and growing.

I understand your points, but that doesn't dismiss the fact that societies are changing and human rights in secular societies are being challenged by religious populations. Citizens are not excited about that. That doesn't make them Islamophobes.

Ironic that many Jordanians also fear Western ideologies and influence as destroying their culture with the recent CEDAW controversy.

I'll read the Independent. Thx for the link

See a debunk of this faked video (although funny, especially the 8.1 children/woman fertility rate of Muslims in France) in Tiny Frog, "Muslim Demographics", 2009-05-03.

I think the extent to which 'human rights' are being challenged primarily by immigrant populations in Europe is definitely debatable. If you look at the actual poll written about in that independent article, that's clear. Abortion was deemed unacceptable by almost half the UK and German populations, while in the UK half the general population supports the death penalty, in France a higher percentage of the general population supports the death penalty than the Muslim population there does, while roughly the same numbers of Muslims and the general population opposes honour killings accross the board(like 98%.)
Besides that more than a couple of polls now have shown that Muslims tend to have more faith in the justice system and value of a just rule of law than general populations do.
