Muslims may have more momentum now, but...

Muslims themselves trace their lineage all the way back to Ishmael, the son of Abraham by the Egyptian slave girl Hagar, at the behest of his wife Sarah, who at 76 didn't believe she was capable of having the child that God had promised to them. But this was an act of unbelief on both Abraham and Sarah's part and the consequences are mentioned in Genesis 16:11-12 :

"...Ishmael...He shall be a wild man; His hand shall be against every man, and every man's hand against him. And he shall dwell in the presence of all his brethren."

There are numerous references in both Old and New Testaments regarding the eventual fate of these people and others who align with them in order to attack Israel and none of that is pleasant. Muslims are a cursed people and a doomed religion but that hasnt kept God from using them as a perpetual thorn in the side of Israel and Jews, so He can also use the Muslims as a thorn in the side of Europe, where millions of Jews were exterminated in the Holocaust!!

Europe has essentially turned it's back on biblical Christianity, in favor of godless secularism...the Euros themselves refer to Europe as being in the "post-Christian era" and they worship the human intellect!! Into this spiritual void the passionate, zealous Muslims have stepped to exert themselves, even many who are not radical militants are eager to return to the days of the Islamic caliphate which spanned much of Europe many centuries ago! So even though Islam is doomed that doesnt mean they wont make things miserable for a time against Israel, Jews, Europe and anywhere else they can spread their madness, including the U.S. and anywhere else they can gain a foothold!
