The exodus of Muslims to Europe, France and Sweden in particulat has altered the ethnic/national face of culture in these two countries. The recent street protestations and Muslim mass marches are one of the manifestations of an Islamic anger toward European social principles and values. Islamists are empowered to alter - even - curricula in virtue of the increasing numbers of faculty and student body in European universities. The situation is critical. The economical consequences are to be immediately evaluated. Islamic dogma governs the daily aspect of a Musliman. Would the followers of Mohammad finally induce in the European way of life a nomadic Islamic culture? Very possible. The political system in France, Britain and Sweden allow legal alien residents to influence legislation. You will read more about this dilemma in this book.
