The Muslim Trend

Don't have a clue, but food for thought...

I thought there was going to be a civil war and the end of America before then.

Maybe there'll be a civil war, and then the Muslims take over afterwards.
It'll be like Dune, except that instead of Paul Muad'Dib, you'll be ruled by Cat Stevens, aided by the reconstituted ghola of Omar Sharif.
I think this scenario is every bit as likely as the one suggested by that bloke in the bright blue suit.

Yep. Some things will just never happen. Like a Muslim becoming Mayor of London...
Terrifying.
Of course, I believe they've even had women in charge of things over there.

We're starting to see some political stirrings in Europe.
Care to share what you see and where you see it?

I see unrest and political change in Germany, France and some problems in Sweden. I don't see as much unrest in the UK, but I do see political change.
Muslims bring a different worldview to politics vs. Judeo-Christians or people who are nob-religious. Some of the conservative Muslim social views are going to be an interesting political assimilation.

This really is the era of the politician with the fucking stupid haircut. And it seems to be getting worse.
That Argy nutjob bloke is really bloody shocking, as well

I agree, there is a distinct tendency towards political reaction establishing itself in European politics. Not exclusively against Muslims but against non European immigration in general. I see it as one of several aspects of a broad reaction against progressive liberalism as it has developed over the last forty or so years. That could be a good thing in so far as it serves to put a damper on the “Jacobins” and other radicals of modern progressivism. On the other hand, reactionary politics can lead to reopening old wounds from earlier times and governance more akin to what is taking place in Hungary under Orban or even Putin’s Russia where national democratic institutions - weak to start with- are systematically dismantled.

Arab Muslims coming to Europe from the Middle East and North Africa, have little or no concept of the separation of church and state in European political thought and practice. It will take time but I believe that the secular foundations in Western democracies will prevail.
