Noted Middle East Scholar Warns Islam Poised to Take Over Europe

Charlotte, NC (TLS). For quite some time now, this writer has been warning readers about the growing menace of Muslim Jihadists throughout Europe. The past two years has seen an alarming surge in violence in France in particular, prompting the country's top law enforcement official to exclaim in October, 'France is in the midst of a civil war with Muslim extremists, and the government is doing very little to help us fight it.'

The violence has spilled into other European countries such as the Netherlands, Belgium, Germany, and the U.K. In Great Britain, Muslims are pushing for pockets of Muslim-controlled areas to be ruled by Sharia law rather than the common law of Britain. In France, fully 30% of the population is now Muslim and growing. In the Netherlands the problem has reached such a critical stage that government officials are considering limits on immigration.

Today, a noted Middle East scholar, Dr. Bernard Lewis, warns that Islam is poised to take over Europe and that a Muslim majority of the population of Europe is within reach within the next decade.

Dr. Lewis made his remarks to the staff of the Jerusalem Post. Here is a sample of the article in The Jerusalem Post:

'Islam could soon be the dominant force in a Europe which, in the name of political correctness, has abdicated the battle for cultural and religious control, Prof. Bernard Lewis, the world-renowned Middle Eastern and Islamic scholar, said on Sunday.

'The Muslims "seem to be about to take over Europe," Lewis said at a special briefing with the editorial staff of The Jerusalem Post. Asked what this meant for the continent's Jews, he responded, "The outlook for the Jewish communities of Europe is dim." Soon, he warned, the only pertinent question regarding Europe's future would be, "Will it be an Islamized Europe or Europeanized Islam?" The growing sway of Islam in Europe was of particular concern given the rising support within the Islamic world for extremist and terrorist movements, said Lewis.'
