I wrote "restrictions", not reductions

Since 9-11 there have been implimentations of standards regarding immigration to the U.S., as well as Europe, conscerning who is allowed to immigrate, that were not previously employed.

Their numbers, however, are higher than ever before.

"What does 'self-destruct' mean in this context?" - Although the Muslims who immigrate at first seem to, overall, appreciate the freedom of democratic society, when their numbers are substantial they seem to revert to their religion and embrace the very tyranny they left behind.

They will do this to the point of persona non grata which will, in my opinion, as their numbers increase in Europe, lead to the #2 scenario in Dr. Pipes' article, or variation thereof.

I made the last comment regarding Muslim "majority" not taking place peacefully - Muslims themselves will not permit this to happen - as a sarcastic way to illustrate Muslims will destoy the possibility themselves; ie., it's my opinion they won't last in Europe if there numbers get beyond, say, 30% (they now are 5%). Muslim "radicalism" will try to take over long before that, and Europe will be forced to respond. I believe there's only so much Europe will take.

Imagine - riots in multiple European cities - world-wide news coverage - it will snow-ball, and Europe will have no choice but to take extreme measure.

The Muslim culture has been under the dictates of a totalitarian religion/regime for over a thousand years; to imagine they have the ability to adapt to democracy "en masse" is folly - this is my opinion.
