Islam is taking over europe right now. it’s like the bully attacking the PC geek that is head of the school committee. they even came up with an ingenious term “islamophobia”. If you don’t like the idea of women being 2nd class citizens or gays being diseased. Then you have a mental sickness

Who knows? No social democracy has yet collapsed the way most of the Stalinist states collapsed.

1.no, why?  
2. best example is france  
Im not so interested in where geographically people come from, I am interested in their beliefs. If a cult that that hates women and look down on gays started to have influence, I’d be worried. I’d have the same worry if thousands of scientologists started to enter a certain country spreading their twisted beliefs.

I don’t like any idea of the islam doctrine, It is a horrible narrow minded world view. I have no respect for it. Europe has fought religious nonsense for hundreds of years. we should not let this one creep silently in under the pc disguise

The color aspect of it you have to explain better.
