Sounds more like Iraq than a French suburb.

Answer 1

Here's Europe's future.....

...the salient feature of Europe, Canada, Japan, and Russia is that they're running out of babies. What's happening in the developed world is one of the fastest demographic evolutions in history. Most of us have seen a gazillion heartwarming ethnic comedies—"My Big Fat Greek Wedding" and its ilk—in which some uptight WASPy type starts dating a gal from a vast, loving, fecund Mediterranean family, so abundantly endowed with sisters and cousins and uncles that you can barely get in the room.


It is, in fact, the inversion of the truth. Greece has a fertility rate hovering just below 1.3 births per couple, which is what demographers call the point of "lowest-low" fertility from which no human society has ever recovered. And Greece's fertility is the healthiest in Mediterranean Europe: Italy has a fertility rate of 1.2, Spain, 1.1.


Insofar as any citizens of the developed world have "big" families these days, it's the Anglo democracies: America's fertility rate is 2.1, New Zealand's a little below. Hollywood should be making "My Big Fat Uptight Protestant Wedding," in which some sad Greek only-child marries into a big heartwarming New Zealand family where the spouse actually has a sibling.


As I say, this isn't a projection—it's happening now. There's no need to extrapolate, and if you do it gets a little freaky, but, just for fun, here goes: by 2050, 60 percent of Italians will have no brothers, no sisters, no cousins, no aunts, no uncles. The big Italian family, with papa pouring the vino and mama spooning out the pasta down an endless table of grandparents and nieces and nephews, will be gone, no more, dead as the dinosaurs.


Experts talk about root causes. But demography is the most basic root of all. Many of the developed world's citizens gave no conscious thought to Islam before September 11. Now we switch on the news every evening and, though there are many trouble spots around the world, as a general rule it's easy to make an educated guess at one of the participants: Muslims vs. Jews in "Palestine," Muslims vs. Hindus in Kashmir, Muslims vs. Christians in Africa, Muslims vs. Buddhists in Thailand, Muslims vs. Russians in the Caucasus, Muslims vs. backpacking tourists in Bali, Muslims vs. Danish cartoonists in Scandinavia.


The environmentalists may claim to think globally but act locally, but these guys live it. They open up a new front somewhere on the planet with nary a thought.


Why? Because they've got the manpower.


Russia's collapsing and it's nothing to do with deforestation. It's not the tree, it's the family tree. It's the babes in the wood. A people that won't multiply can't go forth or go anywhere. Those who do will shape the age we live in. Because, when history comes a-calling, it starts with the most basic question of all: Knock-knock. Who's there?

Oh particular, it is frightening.. right here's a Catholic perspective. i think of it is yet another chastisement sent by God to His people (He did it each and all the time to the jews in the OT while they forsaked Him, His regulations, etc.. so no longer something new) - a punishment for a as quickly as Christian Europe forgetting its rich background and God-given faith. it quite is befell many circumstances formerly in historic previous that the Muslims extraordinarily much took over Europe yet have been miraculously stopped. as an occasion, the conflict of Lepanto for the time of the reign of St. Pius V (look it up, superb victory over the Turks by way of Europeans getting jointly and praying the Holy Rosary!). an analogous muslim ecu invasion became miraculously stopped one hundred years later, by a Catholic Europeans reciting the Rosary. Catholic prophecy states that the muslims will as quickly as returned invade Europe and reason serous bloodshed and terror (as continually) in that land everywhere. yet Our Lord Jesus Christ promised His Church that it will succeed over the gates of hell, so Islam will on no account take over the international, as they declare it is going to. apart from, the Catholic prophecies state that: a 'Catholic monarch' gets up out of Europe and defeat the muslim invasion (after lots violence andbloodshed). Then the religion would be restored returned for the time of Europe and the international, and their would be a Catholic revival and renewal. (resource: Catholic Prophecy byYves Dupont) i've got self belief Our woman will artwork this miracle for Europe returned (it quite is, combating the finished Islamisation of Europe), if adequate people pray the Rosary. I even have self belief it would have already exchange into majority muslim if it wasn't for the Rosary and Her intercession.

Answer 3

The French have let to many immigrants in, and it is their own fault what is happening to them and Europe, this is what comes from liberalism. Immigrants that move to other countries expect more these days, they couldn't make it is their own country, so now they are blaming everything on the French, because they expect entitlements and the liberal government will cause all these problems, because liberals believe in helping to much, when you don't let people stand on their own and give government hand outs this just creates more losers. liberalism dose not work it has been proven over and over again. These people should be createing their own jobs and businesses and not depending on the government to creat and hand them a job. So when the immigrants take over your country don't come crying to the U.S. we have our own problems.
