article was as well, to Arab immigration and their direct descendants post WWII.

When I said "dominated", I meant in the context of numbers.  The Muslim
population continues to grow throughout Europe as the European population
continues to slide.  At some point in the not-too-distant future, the Muslim
population will be in the majority in terms of a voting lobby.
