		<description>Surely if anyone saved Europe&#039;s &quot;ass&quot; from Hitler it was the Soviets.  80%+ of dead Nazi soldiers were killed on the Eastern Front.  I bet America wouldn&#039;t be happy if Europeans sucked up to Russia on that basis.

As for the whole &quot;Eurabia&quot; thing - I always though that Muslim militaries were pitiful - they can&#039;t even crush itty-bitty Israel for goodness&#039;s sake!

It can&#039;t be terrorism, as almost no regimes - even colonial ones - have ever been defeated &lt;i&gt;solely&lt;/i&gt; by terrorists.  (Although interestingly enough, the Khilafah Rashidun is a possible exception - it arguably degenerated into a hereditary monarchy under the blows of Kharijite terrorists.)

I get the impression that the &quot;Eurabia&quot; alarmism is simply an Islamization of &quot;The Camp of the Saints&quot;, Jean Raspail&#039;s racist diatribe.  Is he arguing that Europeans must one day become either dhimmis or génocidaires?

Surely European Muslims are not uniquely immune to the factors (eg sky-high house prices), which conspire to keep general birth rates low in Europe?

If Europe ever does turn Muslim, it is more likely because the current wave of ultra-secularism finishes Christianity as a viable force in Europe, meaning that next religious revival finds Islam the only game in town.
