Iran official: Europe will become a Muslim Continent in Twelve Years Submitted by Sandi on Fri, 2007-12-21 21:22.
Tehran, 21 Dec.(AKI) - Europe will eventually become a Muslim continent, according to a representative of Iran's supreme leader, Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei. "In a dozen years, Europe will be an Islamic continent," said Rasul Jalilzadeh on Friday as he was speaking to the basiji, a voluntary organisation in the capital Tehran. "The Islamisation of the European continent is imminent and this step favours the arrival of the Mahdi," he said, referring to the 12th imam of Shiite Islam. Shiites believe that the Imam Mahdi, who disppeared as an adolescent, will return to bring an end to chaos and bring universal justice. Rasul Jalilzadeh believes that "the Islamisation of Europe is one of the consequences of the Islamic revolution in Iran" in that "the messages and values that this revolution has transmitted to the Europeans, to convince them "to abandon their current faiths and convert to Shiite Islam."

Not by conversions
but through force of numbers. I know some younger muslims dare to leave it behind (and there have been many 'honour killings' by fathers/uncles of westernised muslim girls) but it's the way they're breeding compared to the religions-less likely-to-bring-totalitarianism.
The conversions to Islam...
...that I have seen in Europe are very seldom. "Cat Stevens" is the only celebrity example I can think of - and that happened back in the '70s.
Therefore, the Islamification of Europe would require massive immigration from Muslim countries over the next 50-100 years or so.
However, not even that is simple. For example every single immigrant from Iran in England that I have ever met has told me that they hate religion, especially the Muslim religion that their own Government forced on them.
Some of them even refuse to even call the country Iran, but instead only "Persia".
P.S. There was already an Islamification of Europe in the middle ages that resulted in Muslim countries of Albania, Bosnia and Kosovo. The secular Turkey is also technically part of Europe. This former Islamification gave Europe Turkish delight, coffee, and croissants.
Meh
More attention-getting hyperbole from a bureaucrat...what else is new?
He doesn't matter, either.
European Union - Civil War
According to Dr. Theodore Dalrymple
"I also think that it all might end in civil war, though the political classes in each European country present it as the sovereign remedy to war. Ultimately, two things are driving the union: unfulfilled megalomania, and the personal greed of politicians, for whom it represents a giant pension fund."
Watch the space for the North American Union, but hey that's a whole new thread.
Another War from expansionist Europe
He's not far off the facts - thanks to mobocracy.
Brussels are running it into the ground now and this will only hasten Europe's economic demise.
Following that, what's left of the free world will have to mop up the internal European wars. Hopefully not WWIII.
Makes me think we should all
Makes me think we should all be out there promoting secularism rather than whatever policital ideals we may hold.
