"The biggest challenge to democracy in Europe is the spread of deeply illiberal politics," details Freedom House's press release. This, as WorldViews has charted over the past year, has been very much on display in the response to an influx of refugees and migrants from Syria and other countries. Right-wing politicians, including Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban, fanned populist flames by grandstanding over the threat of Muslim migration."
“Claiming that Europe faces a Muslim invasion has become standard fare for a range of politicians and political parties in Europe,” Nate Schenkkan, project director of Nations in Transit, said in a statement. "This kind of speech undermines democracy by rejecting one of its fundamental principles—equality before the law. There is a danger that this kind of hateful, paranoid speech will lead to violence against minorities and refugees."

Every non self destructive position and every non-liberal view is now a clinical “phobia” it seems.
They’ve got it all wrong, it isn’t a phobia, it’s really more like a loathing, a detestation for what they do... so lets call it what it really is; IslamoLoath! Same for homosexuality... not homophobe but homoLoath!
Gaslighting at it’s best
And what about rabid liberalism thinks they will be able to control Islam or build their communist paradise out of the ashes?
If I remember correctly, Nazism threatened democracy in Europe. Yet, while ISIS threatens Europe with its' imperialistic plan for world conquest, idiots like the author want to welcome the muslim invaders.
I hope this time Europe can handle the threat themselves so they don't have to come crying for US troops to come fix it for them again.
The peoples of Europe are going to have to cast off the mental shackles of political correctness and drive this threat out of their lands. The muslims have shown that the governments are weak, so the people need to stop playing by the “rules” and rise up against both the internal and external forces working to enslave them. If the governments want to cater to the muslim invasion, then those governments should fall right along side the invaders. F them all.
“Islamophobia threatens democracy in Europe”
Wrong. Correction:
“Islam threatens democracy in Europe”
Corrected.
In other words, we must not be allowed to criticize them lest we blast ourselves in public? Is that what they say?
Who is yielding to the blackmail of murder suicide and desperation here?
Confirms the gullibility of the herd.. You’d think they’d learn after a couple hundred deaths of their own.
Why did we send our brave young men and women to save EUrope?
Never again.

Liberalism is clearly a disease of the mind.

You’re presuming Liberalism has any of, let alone all 3! /s
“Nations in Transit”?? Who green-lit and funded that tomf***ery of an organization? What does that even mean? Nations don’t move.
