    No, thankfully. Are their not enough available outlets for those looking to find this without forcing it on the entire public on the public dime (the main point is the first one, the last is a throw in).

    No, not at all. Check the demographics, and the recent history of assimilation. We can discuss whether this is a good or bad thing, but the trend is unmistakable.

    hondo,

    Re: Europe and Muslim candidates you make an intriguing point...do you have any countries in mind where this currently happening? Where the country is becoming more socially conservative?

    Lebanon: used to be one of the getaways for the jet set, back in the 1930s-1950s.

    Dream on ... especially since the most popular first name for male babies in England is now Muhammad. And I didn't make that one up.

    I just had to preserve this... Yes, the most popular baby names for boys in England are no longer Jack, Joshua, Thomas, Oliver, Harry, James, William, Samuel, Daniel, Charlie and Benjamin. They're all naming their sons Muhammad instead.

    Again, what's your point? The name Muhammed = bad? Maybe in 25 years, four guys from Liverpool named Muhammed will form a band called The Four Muhammeds and kick start a new movement in Rock 'n Roll. Is it impossible for you to believe just because someone is named Muhammed (or Mohammad or Mahomet) they can't grow up to enjoy the same things as a Liam or a Thatcher?

    The most popular name for male babies in Belgium is Baphomet, which is interpeted by many to signal a resurgence of the Templar influence in Western Europe.

    If you can't buy sex in Amsterdam, the terrorists have won.

    And further proof that no matter how conservative Europe gets, they won't match the Puritanism of North America.

    Because watching "this" is reprehensible compared to acceptable pornographic violence in movies like Saw & Hostel.

    And the "public dime" throw-in comment should have been thrown away.

    And Guy, Muslims will not ever be the governing group of a Western European country. Will not happen. Not ever.
