There will come a point when China will simply and quietly take over the EU's closet Christian Club. They will make the Medici look like choir boys.

We in the US get along quite nicely. The solution seems to be freedom of religion and at the moment the Moslems are the guilty party. I think they cloak their true motives with the banner of Islam, when in fact it is merely economic. Same old, same old. Maybe they are scared by the prospect of new forms of energy which will bypass their oil. Too bad they can't get with the program and realize medieval times passed by long ago. Look to the future, I say.

The Chinese have their own Muslim minority in Sinkiang to worry about. They've had the same problems as others do and they'll continue to do so in the future. So they're not at all immune to the problem of Islamofascism. China is growing quickly off a very low base. Their asset in that their populace is so impoverished their labor costs are the lowest in the world. So manufacturing is gradually leaving everywhere else and moving to China. Even maquiladora production along the Mexican border with the US is declining. And they have the advantage of Mexican labor costs and quick and open access to the American market.
