Europe En Route to Islamic Takeover

(Chicago Sun-Times) Daniel Pipes - Christianity's ancient stronghold of Europe is rapidly giving way to Islam. Europe is increasingly a post-Christian society, one with a diminishing connection to its tradition or its historic values.

In addition, indigenous Europeans are dying out due to an anemic EU birthrate of 1.5 per woman. Some 5% of the EU, or nearly 20 million persons, presently identify themselves as Muslims, a figure that will reach 10% by 2020 if present trends continue.
