I didn't believe it until...

...a recent trip to Europe confirmed it. I am from a small fishing town in south-west England. There are not many asians here, nor many ethnic minorities for that matter. But when I arrived in Brussels I was despaired to find it more like Baghdad. There were asians everywhere, along with arabic shops, halal meat stores, arabic bars and everything else that wasn't in any way related to Belgium or Europe.

Depressing as it is I agree that within a few generations Islam will dominate Europe as the largest religion.

Just think of all that wonderful, rich, beautiful culture that's going to be lost forever.
