In the context that the Muslim population is growing in Europe, it might be
interesting, but the article you quote is absolutely venomous about it.
Since you make no mention of it even after me refering to the article as
"drivel" and "trash", I would suspect that you haven't picked up on that
venom in the least.

"But for Europeans it is local politics. The 15 million Muslims of the
European Union (EU)—up to three times as many as live in the United
States—are becoming a more powerful political force than the fabled Arab
street."
Note how the other article claims that there are 10 million muslims in
France, which leaves 5 million for the rest of the EU (or somebody is making
up numbers). Also, what is the total population of the EU versus the US?
If the US population is 1/3 of the EU then the proportions would be the same.

What are you driving at here? You don't mean civil war in any case, you
mean racial or religious war.
