"Almost two decades after the end of the Cold War, the 27-nation European Union counts 494 million people and a gross domestic product of $15 trillion, about the same as the United States. But appeasement is back. A Dutch Justice Minister said, "If a majority of Dutchmen opt for the Shariah (Islamic law) at some future date, this has to be respected."
Coupled with an aging native European population and an exploding Muslim influx (Mohammed is the second most popular name for newborn baby boys in Dutch cities), the Continent's 20 million Muslims will become majorities in several European cities by midcentury. Meanwhile, Mr. Laqueur's "Last Days of Europe," tongue only half in cheek, fears the emergence of Europe as "a museum of world history and civilization preaching the importance of morality in world affairs to a nonexistent audience.""

The essential question here is whether or not it is virtuous and wise for Europeans to wish to retain their ancient identities and culture in the face of growing Muslim demographics.
Forget all the politically wise PC baloney about the "threat" of terrorist infiltration into Europe. This is about cultural identity.
The same thing is true in the USA with regard to the tidal wave of Hispanic immigration. pl
