    Default Muslims and Europe

    I would like to post two interesting videos showing the problems that they face two countries of Europe, Belgium and Spain, due to the increase in the population of Muslims. I travelled recently to these two countries and I felt the big social change that happen in Europe these days and I am really scared for the future. In the Netherlands where I am working, Mohammed is the most popular boy's name in the four biggest Dutch cities!

    Are there any policies to face this issue? Will Europe take some measures to prevent the worst before it is too late? I am not against muslim people, not at all. I am not in favor of any religion, I am not-religious. I just believe that such religions (with the different way of expression) cannot match with the Western culture and mentality. Simply Ι think that Islam and Europe cannot move along together.

    Below a part of an intersting article published on The Telegraph

    Millions of Muslims, will change the continent beyond recognition over the next two decades, and almost no policy-makers are talking about it. The numbers are startling. Only 3.2 per cent of Spain's population was foreign-born in 1998. In 2007 it was 13.4 per cent. Europe's Muslim population has more than doubled in the past 30 years and will have doubled again by 2015. In Brussels, the top seven baby boys' names recently were Mohamed, Adam, Rayan, Ayoub, Mehdi, Amine and Hamza. Europe's low white birth rate, coupled with faster multiplying migrants, will change fundamentally what we take to mean by European culture and society. The altered population mix has far-reaching implications for education, housing, welfare, labour, the arts and everything in between. It could have a critical impact on foreign policy: a study was submitted to the US Air Force on how America's relationship with Europe might evolve. Yet EU officials admit that these issues are not receiving the attention they deserve.

    And the two videos:

    Yes. Policies are put into effect which will ensure you're be called a racist for creating this thread.

    Sharia law is our new version of Hitler? We all sought to appease Hitler, and we seek to appease Islam. So is it the same? Are we doing the same thing we did to Hitler? Maybe? Or maybe the media is just trying to freak all of us out.

    What would Chamberlain do?

    And here in the US as well.

    The media gives a voice to crazy people. That's what they do.

    There are no problems with muslims in Europe at all, never have been or ever will be.

    It's all the fault of the white men in Europe, we all know that.

    Meh...

    I was in Spain recently as well.

    Everyone was still eating jamon, drinking canas de cervezas and bitching about the economy to no end.

    Spain is no different than any other Latin American country with people from all sorts of background and walks of life.

    I didn't sense any hostility or resentment from the locals.

    But in Barcelona, I did see a funny argument between a Pakistani and Morrocan yelling at each other in Spanish. I doubt they understood each other.

    Maybe they should have tried Catalan.

    No the others should have less. There are already way too many of us. Where should this end if we make a race out of it?

    And all Moroccans and Pakistani are Muslim? Can it, buddy. You might not like his threadcrashing or borderline trolling but he travelled all around the world in the navy. Yes, after enough travel you can pick faces out of the crowd. It's not that hard, especially with some language training when you hear people speak. Yes, it's possible he knew their countries of origin for other reasons he didn't tell us. Save the half-assed comedy routine for Macs.
