Secularism = abortion

Ron, an interesting comment. But, like Sanchez's comment, you both miss the main point which has allowed Europe to reach its current demographic dilemma:

Indigenous Europeans' woeful birth rates.

The EU average is 1.3 - 1.4 births per couple.

Why has this happened? Well, secularism generally equals birth control and abortion. Europeans are aborting themselves out of existence. "Secularism" is killing Europe - "demographically." Who cares if there are some facist European secularists willing to fight for their libertine, Western utopia. They won't have the numbers if European birth rates remain the same as now for the next 30-50 years. Even if Muslims are thrown out of Europe in 20 years, they will walk back in 30 years later, with barely any oppostion left.

Because Europe has lost its Christian, pro-life core over the 20th century, indigenous European birthrates have plummeted.

Did you know the average Russian woman has 19 abortions in her liftetime? Terrible! No wonder Russia, with 1.1 kids/couple, is facing demographic meltdown. Even more affluent Spain, Italy, Greece are screwed too. 1.1 - 1.2 births/couple. The indigenous population is almost halving each generation.

Secularism, for all its positives that you may recount, has legitimised abortion. Subsequently, odds on, the pro-life Muslims will ultimately inherit Europe.
