Google 'Britain First Christian Patrols', 'ku klux klan', 'BNP, 'Westboro', etc. The fact that they exist doesn't necessarily mean immigration = forced religious doctrine.
But that's exactly what they are trying to do. Watch the videos. They specifically say the area they are "patrolling" is a Muslim area, that women need to dress how they want them to dress, that alcohol isn't allowed, that gays aren't welcome, and that they want to impose Sharia law upon the community. The last thing we need are religious police patrolling our neighborhoods.
What is European culture? Look back a few hundred years, I'm not sure you'd call the culture of those times equivalent to the culture now. Change isn't always bad.
Technology has changed, styles have changed, and we're not drawing and quartering or tarring and feathering people in the streets anymore. Beyond that though, a lot of regional traditions have been practiced for hundreds, if not thousands, of years. Food, fashion, architecture, agriculture, art, music, dance, language, etc. etc. are all things that define a people. The French are different from the Germans, who are different from the Italians, who are different from the Spanish... We're not talking about a little "change". We're talking about those cultures completely vanishing years from now.
What's wrong with the above quote, if people want to convert to Islam without being under duress, they're welcome to. I can't see the point you're making.
People can convert to any religion they want, I don't care two bits as long as they keep it to themselves and it doesn't interfere with my life.
That's not what fundamentalists want though. Their doctrine says you should convert to Islam or you should be killed. Their laws say that "crimes against god" are punishable by death. Say something bad about their prophet or draw a silly cartoon of him and you'll have a fatwa on your head and will most likely be gunned down in the street on your way to work.
Who said anything about forcing? The above quote you gave seemed to be pretty specific about a lack of force.
It's insidious, force isn't necessary. The whole point is that it's happening from the inside, like a cancer spreading. If you don't detect it and stop it early, then it will kill you.
You acknowledge that there are Islamic fundamentalists, yet you seem to think that they don't pose a serious threat.
So you have 50 million Muslims living in Europe. Let's say only 1% of those are hard core fundamentalists, the rest are mostly moderates who fit in nicely and go about their business like normal folk.
That's still 500,000 psychopaths walking the streets of Europe.
You don't see a problem with that?
And what happens if the shit really does hit the fan? Another Muslim kid gets gunned down by the cops, or some other act that causes upset in the Islamic communities. When it comes down to it who are the 50 million going to side with? The indigenous populations or their own people? It only takes a few bad apples to whip people into a frenzy. History has shown that time and time again.
If you have a beef with organized religion, fine, but what have immigrants got to do with that, as a whole? Christianity is the biggest religion in the world, surely if you're against organized religion, it would be in your interest for Christians to convert to Islam?
This doesn't make any sense at all.
Just to be clear, I don't have a beef with organized religion. I misspoke when I said I dislike it. I'm indifferent when it comes to your typical Christian, Muslim, Jew, Hindu, or whatever. I'm quite quite fascinated by a lot of religious practices, art and architecture.
I do not, however, like a fundamentalist of any flavor. You cannot have a rational conversation with a zealot, and you are not going to change their mind.
