In my post, I made a reference to mass Catholic immigration into Protestant America. Millions of Catholics have moved into America, but the core values of the country have remained Protestant. I have never supported Muslim immigration into Europe. If you don't believe me, you can check dozens of posts I have written on danielpipes.org.

Right now, I have come to realize that the issue is no longer whether or not we allow Muslims to come here, because they are already here. Now, the issue is whether these people become successful Europeans or losers. At the moment, Europeans of North African and Arabic descent are losers. They end up committing crimes. So, now, my emphasis has changed from anti-immigration to law-enforcement. Law and Order is the new frontier of European politics. Immigration was the main issue and it still is to a point. The expression "Christian Europe" is accurate, because European society is based on Christian values.

If you compare the Law of any European country to the Ten Commandaments, you will see that it is, more or less, the same. Therefore, we don't need to be outspoken about it, because Europe has got Christian roots, no matter what people say in the USA. If European society is based on Christian vakues, and the Law is also based on Christian values, Muslims will have to adapt to Christian morals and life-style. Nothing prevents Muslim citizens from accepting European mores. The fact that we don't go on about religion that much could be an advantage and reduce conflicts.
