tejek, you are just plain wrong about the growth of Muslims in Europe. Let me post some sources for you with #s in them so you can read for yourself:

"For the first time in history, Muslims are building large and growing minorities across the secular Western world — nowhere more visibly than in Western Europe, where their numbers have more than doubled in the past two decades. The impact is unfolding from Amsterdam to Paris to Madrid, as Muslims struggle — with words, votes and sometimes violence — to stake out their place in adopted societies."

"The ratio of Muslims to the total population of the EU countries ranges between3 . 5and5 .5%. However, the ratio of Muslim youth (between 45 and50 % of the Muslims) to EU youth is between16 and20 %. In other words, in a few years Muslims will constitute 16 to20 % of the European workforce, and could therefore influence policies and decision-making."

"Today, more than 15 million Muslims create an integral part of Europe...Europe’s difficult political and economic integration, the worldwide economic recession, and the inefficiency of several European leftist governments are all possible causes for the rise of the European right. But what is certain is that Europe’s extreme right-wingers are prospering by amplifying Europeans’ economic and cultural fears, especially toward their Muslim immigrant neighbors. Europe’s proposed anti-Muslim laws will create a false solution for serious problems impeding Europe’s multiculturalism. This will hinder Muslim integration into European society, as well as damage Europe’s image in the Muslim world. Instead, European countries should seek creative approaches to fully engage their Muslim communities in the struggle for economic reform and ideological moderation."

Germany: Difficult integration of Muslim immigrants
"The inhabitants of Muslim origin number around 3.2 million in Germany. Of these, 2.5 million are Turks, a quarter of whom have German nationality. The situation is different from that in Holland, where Muslims are mainly of Arab origin, marked by the Palestinian situation."
