Islam in Europe

Given that this is a predominantly European forum, I felt the need to get some opinions of those who post here on this issue.

I fully realize that this will likely entice a lot of bickering, but my goal is just to learn how people in Europe feel about the seemingly huge increase in the Islamic population in Europe.

I have some pictures that were sent to me from what I was told was a recent demonstration in the streets of London. I didn’t post the pictures because I’m not 100 percent certain that there were actually demonstrations in London recently or that the pictures were actually London itself, so I felt I should ask here to confirm any details. I can post them at a later date if people would like.

Anyways on to my questions:

1. Are those of you you who don’t practice Islam concerned with the change that seems to be coming over Europe?

2. Are there many demonstrations in your respective nations? Are the people of your respective nations concerned? Are your governing bodies concerned?

I fully realize that many people here think I’m an ignorant, racist, stereotypical arrogant American, but I’m just trying to figure out how people in Europe feel about this particular issue. Obviously I am not able to get all the facts because I don’t live in Europe, but from my perspective it seems like a rather scary change is occuring in Europe, and I’m afraid that the rather liberal nature of many nations in Europe won’t do much to stop what would appear to be a real problem. I could be wrong, but it’s just how I see it from my perspective.
