The Usual Pattern

Here is a summary of the process:

Muslim form a rapidly expanding minority. Then, stoked on the hatred and supremacism that they imbibe in their mosques, abuses against infidels take place: rapes, assaults, murders. Primary targets are the weakest infidel groups, such as Jews in Europe or Christians in the Mideast.

As the Muslims population expands further they start making political demands for autonomy and become bolder in their attacks. Eventually, when they are around 40% of the population, a complete takeover is attempted, as in Lebanon. Civil war looms.

Within Muslim societies, the fastest demographic expansion is among the poorest, least educated, and most religious elements, a situation that can lead to electoral victories by Islamists in place like Egypt and Turkey.

Russia is a harbinger of things to come in Europe, and is symptomatic of wider global devolution.
