Please give me any definitive change in Denmark, France, and Australia besides the fact that Muslims exist there. Have their governments been overthrown? I don't think so. Have their constitutions been rewritten? I don't think so.
Simple fear of foreigners, xenophobia, does not equal Islam "rapidly taking over" anything. The world is becoming more diverse, in all parts. Why is that a bad thing? Furthermore, the integration of Middle Eastern and Far Eastern people into Western European nations has been occurring since at least 1400, and it's pretty ignorant of history to claim otherwise.
(Furthermore, there are predominantly white nations that are not Western, and Western nations that are not predominantly white. Please learn basic geography.)
There may be more Muslims around you, but if you think that a simple population shift is somehow having a negative effect on your daily life, you are worrying about things that need not concern you and for foolish reasons indeed.

Actually no. Islam is growing in delevloping nations such as China, Nigeria, Philipines... While there is a growing number of Muslims in Europe in general, it is not through convertions. Many contries like France needs poeple from other countries to help with there labor. So they have a huge influx of poeple from countries like, Moracco, Algeria, and other former french colonies where the majority religoin is Islam. Demark Holland and Germany all have or had very easy immagration laws allowing people from under developed nations to immagrate, Germany though closed its open dooir policy and started to be more conservative on it immagration policies. The article to me sounds like a conservative scare tactic to me, because europe has always had a it fair amount of White muslins any way. Yugoslavia, Spain, Turkey, Bulgaria, and even Russia, have there fair share of Muslims. As far as Australia goes, it's possible considering that most of the countries north have large Muslim communites.

Do you mean "taking over" in that there are many people converting to the religion? I don't think that has happened. I have noticed that there has been more inquiries & fact finding about Islam of late.
Here are the numbers of the major religions in the world:
1. Christianity 2.1 billion
2. Islam 1.3 billion
3. Secular/agnostic/atheist 1.1 billion
4. Hinduism 900 million
5. Chinese Folk 394 million
6. Buddhism 376 million
7. Judaism 14 million

No. I don't know why people think thats a fact when it isnt.
Much of Islam is in the middle of a war with the United States. A war backed by most of the nations of the world. The US is HEAVILY religion influenced (even though they shouldn't be according to their own Constitution). Islam is losing the war through weapons so they're trying to use the next best weapon they have. The media. They're trying to demoralize and upset the western nations that are part of this war. Unfortuantely, they'e succeeding because most of the western nations of the world are so bloody gullible.
Ignore it. Its all propaganda.

There has been a decline in the command of the Church over the Christians. But it does not mean that there is a corresponding increase in the spread of Islam. One thing is quite clear that the Muslims whole over the world after 9/11 are more united than the Christians. The Islamic religion has an appeal to the Muslims transgressing the nationalistic or state boundaries. It also applies to the countries like Denmark, France, Spain and Australia where there are sizable Muslim populations.

The entire Koran is written in arabic. How many people do you know that read arabic? I don't know anyone in my country that reads arabic. However, the Bible, unlike the Koran, has been translated into hundreds of languages. My guess is that there are really more Christians than Muslims in the world. I'm sure Muslims will disagree. Christianity is also much older than Islam. Anyone can become a Christian. Men don't have to wear funny hats or gowns, and women don't have to wear veils to be Christians. That's why Christianity is so much more appealing than Islam.

I'd highly recommend that you research the subject if you're interested. Western Europe has a very high rate of Muslim immigration, and its societies are changing as a result. Most people think that conservatives are just ranting when they discuss this subject, so I'd recommend that you read "While Europe Slept" by Bruce Bawer. He's a very left-wing journalist that lived in Europe and observed the changes that were going on. VERY, VERY interesting book.

No. Conversion rates to Islam are low among white westerners and the birth rate in all Islamic countries is declining.
Nothing to be worried about at all.

The us of a of Islam is a black supremacist group based by utilising Elijah Muhammad. Elijah believed his mentor actually grow to be Allah in human sort. He believed and taught that white people have been by twist of destiny invented by utilising black scientists before and that Black's are the stronger race. truly, they contradict the hassle-free concepts of mainstream Islam and are, for this reason, no longer area of Islam in any respect. regardless of the undeniable fact that, they declare they're area of the religion and as a Muslim i won't denied their faith. they say they're Muslims so they Muslims. they are no longer a rustic. they're based in Chicago.
