Whatever one calls them, they are growing exponentially.
And that diminishment cuts both ways.
How many of the '2000' anti-ISIS were "backyard Mosques"?
Most European Muslims want Sharia

Most European Muslims want sharia | Dispatch International
A majority of Muslims want sharia law to take precedence over the secular laws of their European host countries. This according to a new survey WZB Berlin Social Science Center based on interviews with Muslims in 6 countries including Sweden. The survey ought to raise eyebrows among Western politicians say researchers.
Turkish and Moroccan immigrants to Austria, Belgium, France, Germany, Holland and Sweden were asked three questions:
Is sharia is more important to you than the laws of the land you are living in? (Yes: 66%).
Do you think there is only one legitimate interpretation of the Koran that should be binding on all Muslims? (Yes: 75%).
Do you think Muslims ought to return to the ”Islams roots”? (Yes: 60%).
Those who answered yes to all questions were labeled ”consistent fundamentalists” – and they make up 44% of all Muslims covered by the survey. Fundamentalist attitudes are equally prevalent among younger and older Muslims.
According to the study (which was conducted in 2008, but not published until now), the situation is Worst in Austria. 73% of Austrian Muslims of Turkish and Moroccan descent consider sharia to be more important than secular laws, 70% think there is only one correct interpretation of the Koran and 76% want Muslims to return to their Islamic roots.
In total 55% of the Austrian Muslims covered in the survey answered yes to all three questions.
The author of the report, the Dutch sociologist Ruud Koopmans, says that the study reveals a Remarkably Similar picture as that presented in Other German studies, e.g., Muslime in Deutschland (Muslims in Germany) from 2007, which documented that 47% of German Muslims considered religious rules to be more important than democracy – the exact same percentage which the new study shows would prefer the laws of the Koran to German laws.
Equally frightening is study’s conclusion that there is a great deal of Muslim enmity towards other groups. 60% of the surveyed Muslims say that they refuse to have homosexual friends and 45% answer that one cannot trust Jews. Even here the Austrian Muslims stand out. 69% of them won’t accept homosexuals as friends and 63% say that Jews are not to be trusted. 66% claim that the West tries to destroy Islam.
For the sake of comparison, non-Muslim Europeans were questioned about their suspicion of Jews (8% said yes), homosexuals (10%), Muslims (21%). 1.4% harbored suspicions against all three groups.
As Koopmans sees it, Muslim fundamentalism is not ”an innocent form of strict religiosity.
Whereas about 1 in 5 indigenous Europeans may be deemed Islamophobes, the degree of anti-Western phobia among Muslims – for which there, strangely, is no name, but might labeled Occidentophobia [the Occident = the West] – is much higher: 54% believe that the Western world aims to wreck Islam.
”These results”, Koopmans continues, ”clearly Contradict what one often hears – that Islamic fundamentalism is a marginal phenomenon in Western Europe and that it is no different from the degree of fundamentalism among the Christian majority.
Both of these claims are obviously false as almost Half of the European Muslims want Muslims to return to Islam’s roots, think that there is only one interpretation of the Koran and that its laws are more important than secular laws. Among indigenous Christians, LESS than 1 in 25 can be characterized as a fundamentalist in this sense.
Koopmans continues:
”Both the extent of Islamic religious fundamentalism and its concomitants – homophobia, Anti-Semitism, and ’Occidentophobia’ – ought to cause serious uneasiness among politicians as well as Muslims civic leaders. Of course one cannot equate religious fundamentalism with a willingness to support or participate in religiously motivated violence...
Commenting on the study, the German paper Die Welt notes that the results cast serious doubt on the unbridled optimism professed by Europe’s multiculturalists, who assert that in time, Muslim fellow citizens will embrace the West’s liberal and democratic way of thinking. ”The study does not lend itself to simplistic conclusions”, writes Die Welt. ”But it must be realized: Democracies must watch out for those who consider free societies as something that must be vanquished.”
A growing number of European voices warn against the increasingly aggressive attempts by Islamic organizations like the OIC – with 57 Muslim countries – to pressure Western politicians to Criminalize all criticism of Islam.".."
SHOVE your clownish emoticons
I see nothing wrong with controlling immigration to the degree it doesn't change the Culture of a Nation.
That is the cohesion that Makes the character OF a nation.
So you are in favor of 'Creeping Sharia', Cultural change by demographic Jihad.
Guilt from WWII is still prevalent.
I read the News. You? (necessarily ignore it to keep your pathetic politics)
Have ya Noticed what's happening in Europe, Scandinavia, Middle East, Africa, South Asia, Southeast Asia?
But Hey, All Your Pathetic Islamist Apologism MIGHT make the world safer for Baha'i..... LOFL.
