"Do we want the River of Islam to enter the riverbed of secularism?" France's prime minister, Jean-Pierre Raffarin, said in September, alluding to the prospect of Turkey joining the European Union. Raffarin's question is a little late. The river of Islam is already gushing through Europe — and secular France, home to over 5 million Muslims, released the floodgates.

The question now is: When will the river of Islam swamp secular Europe? Historian Bernard Lewis predicts that Muslims will dominate Europe before the end of this century, turning Europe into an appendage of North Africa and the Middle East.

"Europe will be a part of the Arab West," he said in an interview with the German newspaper Die Welt during the summer. "Europeans marry late and have few or no children. But there's strong immigration: Turks in Germany, Arabs in France and Pakistanis in England. At the latest, following current trends, Europe will have Muslim majorities in the population at the end of the 21st century."

As Raffarin should know, France steered the river of Islam into Europe's riverbed of secularism, arrogantly assuming it would come out secular on the other side. It hasn't. France is not changing Islam; Islam is changing France. France's desperate project to spread a "French Islam" is an admission of this crisis, not a solution to it.

Quote:

Raffarin can play dumb and act like secular France didn't flood Europe with Islam. But historians will record that it was French secularism that created the conditions for secular Europe's demise by insisting that Europe embrace millions of Muslims who had no intention of embracing secularism.

Call it involuntary suicide.

In their indolence and cowardice the French will accomplish what the Ottoman Turks, through force of arms, could not.

"Do we want the River of Islam to enter the riverbed of secularism?"

Anyone else having trouble trying to wrap your brain around that sentence?

I need Mr. 'Splainerman.

"The European secularists like Chirac who think that they can ride the tiger of Islam will be eaten by it."

You secular folks in the U.S., take warning.

Muslims aren't fooled by "French Islam." They know that Frenchifying Islam means removing Islam from Islam, and they are resisting it.

Euros who continue kid themselves that they can embrace an Islamic influx or allow Turkish Muslims to pour unhindered across their borders by admitting them into the EU are missing something here - so far they have shown they lack the spine of the Kemalists to beat the extremes of Islam into submission.
