Will Islam become the religion of Europe?

Soeren Kern writing at Hudson New York: “During his recent two-day state visit to Italy, Libyan leader Colonel Muammar Gaddafi declared that ‘Islam should become the religion of the whole of Europe.’ He also said that Europe’s conversion would become a fait accompli ‘when Turkey becomes a member of the European Union.’ Europeans mostly dismissed Gaddafi’s proselytizing as ‘Islamic propaganda,’ and as a ‘non-solicited provocation lacking seriousness’ . . . Gaddafi’s vision of an Islamicized Europe is closer to becoming a reality than many Europeans are willing to admit . . . “
