Should Europe fear Islamism or embrace it

Russia invading the Netherlands? What on earth gave you that idea?
The wars waged these days are mainly with neighbouring countries, squabling over who owns the land or religious/cultural differences. Netherlands is not even close to Russia, and I don't think we live in an age where countries could easily get away with starting to conquer an entire continent. It doesn't work like that anymore. It's not a coincidence that it hasn't happened in a very long time.

As for your concern, muslims getting more political influence doesn't mean a focus on trying to change our countries into theirs. Mainly it's a struggle for equality and acceptance. Because if you haven't noticed, many of our countries make it difficult for them to even practice their beliefs. "Sorry, I can't hire you because you're wearing a hijab."

Wearing a hijab isn't the problem in more than a few cases but it's an easy excuse on the other hand speaking the language (poorly) with an accent and refusing to shake a hand or drive for that matter is a genuine reason.

 

Here in the Randstad there are many mosques, we've Islam schools, so I don't see a problem there. Sure It's no middle east but is that necessary. I doubt Belgium, Germany, France or Great Brittany differ much on that.

 

Russia under Putin doesn't care much for the rest of the world. That something has happened for a while doesn't mean it can't especially with some resources running out. Imagine the year 2100 that there are more people than that vegetables can feed due to too few usable soil and too few phosphate.What happens then sharing all and've barely enough or countries or continents ensuring their own food supply by dooming your neighbours.
