You're not going to make hundreds of millions of people magically disappear or magically love you for hating what they consider "their way" (and I agree - it's fundamentally dangerous). And the more you alienate them, the more pissed they will get at you.

Abraham Lincoln had a saying during the U.S. Civil War. We are a nation of laws, but "The Constitution is not a suicide pact". Likewise, democracy is not a suicide pact. I fear much of Europe views things from the opposite spectrum. Too fearful of what everybody will think about them. Not doing what is necessary for their survival. I'm certainly not advocating non-civil discourse against Muslims in Europe. But I am hoping Europe will stop the flow of illegal entrants, deport those already in Europe illegally, and heavily promote (use social pressure) assimilation for those that remain. And do these things without the fear of what everyone thinks.
