I was also wanting to draw attention to the Islamisation of Europe and the vast cultural, social and demographic changes that have destroyed Europe in a generation.

Okay, I’ll bite since I have some procrastination to do…
I grew up (and live) in a Scandinavian country, in a suburb to a major city. A large share of the population in my hometown are immigrants and Muslims. I went to school with, played sports with, partied with and now work with Muslims. Let me tell you this: they are for the most part (as in 95% of them) like everybody else in the Western world. They want a good job, a family and a nice play to live. Period.
Using an example of gang rape, by some people who happened to be Muslim, as a way to depict the cultural influences of Islam is absolutely atrocious. The equivalent would be, for me to claim that Catholics’ are inherently pedophile since their Priests are fond of small boys (an atrocious claim btw, just to be clear). Both are examples of very poor argumentation. Let’s keep that out the discussion.
Are there Muslims who work against western culture (politically)? Sure. But extremists are part of every religion across the world. There are extremist Christians, extremist Hindus and extremist Sun-Worshippers for all I know. These people should not be used to describe any religious group (as in my example above). In fact, and this might come as a surprise to most Americans, most Muslims are quite conservative and free-market oriented. They believe in hard work and family values.
Are Muslims perfect? Heck no! For me, however, the largest problem is the alarming silence of the moderate Muslims. Often extremists are left unchallenged and this leaves people with the wrong impression of what most practicing Muslims are really like. It could be argued that the silence of the moderate Muslims is simply consent, but from my experience this is simply not the case. [/quote]
Your claim that the so called extremists are only a tiny minority is contradicted by the outcome of the recent elections in Egypt. When the muslim brotherhood and salafists can get over two thirds of the vote it proves that theirs is not in the minority point of view.
Mass immigration from places like Egypt means that small countries like Norway that are getting flooded are going to increasingly start to look like Egypt. There is no way they can maintain their culture on their present course. [/quote]
Yes and no.
The fact that the Muslim Brotherhood and the salafists received large vote shares isn’t simply a function of religion. Their biggest advantage in the elections where that they were not Mubarak and that they helped overthrow his regime. Moreover, it is my understanding that the parties with strong religious ties in the middle east often run of ‘leftist’ platforms and when your country is in utter turmoil that attracts a lot of voters. So the view of the recent elections you present is quite simplified.
That being said, I was somewhat surprised by the results of those elections as the results were not consistent with the image of Egyptians I’ve got from here.

Why would it surprise you that the Egyptians would turn to Salafists? This is a country where ninety percent of women and girls have been victims of genital mutilation. The image you have been given is not a truth because they keep that hidden from outsiders.
It is a practice they are exporting to Britain
