It is interesting to note the immigration of Muslims into Europe and around the world.

One thing that is immenently clear is that their immigrants, hold tight to the culture they have come from, and would appear that even though displaced to a foreign land, maintain tight bonds to the "motherland" so to speak.

This has had a very destabalizing effect in all of Europe. Holland? Muslims? That country on the brink of strife and internal turmoil. Germany, France, England...have so many Muslims that cling to beliefs that would undermine the very country they've moved too.

If push comes to shove, would these Muslims fight against the country, or go along with subversive plots that would come from their birthplace vs. standing with the country they've moved too?

America...in the past...when people moved to our country, they were integrated and became Americans. Not so much anymore, as even here, we compartmentalize cultures, and don't stress becoming part of the melting pot anymore.

It's disturbing to me, and I can see how the countries of the world are fractionalized and could crumble easily as there are so many within their own borders who don't necessarily maintain the same disposition/loyalty/beliefs that a citizen should have.

The West may "win the battle" against terrorism...but, the war may be lost due to immigration and birthrates.
