No longer hyperbole, professor sounds alarm


Muslims 'about to take over Europe'
-David Machlis & Tovah Lazaroff

Prof. Bernard Lewis, the world-renowned Middle Eastern and Islamic scholar, said...Islam could soon be the dominant force in Europe which, in the name of political correctness, has abdicated the battle for cultural and religious control.

The Muslims "seem to be about to take over Europe," Lewis said at a special briefing. Asked what this meant for the continent's Jews, he responded, "The outlook for the Jewish communities of Europe is dim."

Soon, he warned, the only pertinent question regarding Europe's future would be, "Will it be an Islamized Europe or Europeanized Islam?"

UPDATE:
Religiosity Growing Among Young British Muslims - Michael Holden
Research by the Policy Exchange think-tank in London released Monday found that 37% of 16-24-year-old British Muslims would prefer to live under Islamic sharia law than under British law.
74% of young Muslims said they preferred women to wear a veil or hijab.
13% of those aged 16-24 also agreed with the statement that they "admire organizations like al-Qaeda that are prepared to fight the West."

Very bad and sad trends. We would be wise to spend some money investigating the motivastions behind these trends, rather than sit back and decry them.
