Beginning sometime prior to 1995, Islamic communities began forming in many [[Europe]]an countries, taking advantage of the [[liberal]] [[immigration]] laws and social support systems in those countries. Unlike other groups of refugees, however, many of these communities became very insular (apparently deliberately so), refusing to adapt to [[western culture|Western]] customs or even learn any of the dominant languages of their adopted countries.

As they have gained more political clout, they have begun attempting to impose (and in many cases succeeding in imposing) the idea that any speech or action which "offends" Islam should not be tolerated, regardless of whether such speech might be legally protected by [[freedom of speech]] laws. It is arguable that their ultimate goal may be the imposition of [[Sharia]] (Islamic) law, often described as [[Islamofascism]], on all of [[Europe]], and eventually the world.

One milestone they have achieved toward this end is that British courts are now recognizing the rule of Sharia courts as legitimate. Usage of such courts remains voluntary, but there is no mechanism in place to prevent Muslims from being coerced into using them. Also, the [[United Nations|UN]] has apparently passed a resolution (mid-2008) that criticism of Islam constitutes a [[human rights]] violation. This abrogates [[freedom of speech]] and is therefore itself a human rights violation.

About

The Islamic cultural invasion refers to a hypothetical phenomenon wherein the liberal embrace of cultural diversity, and fear of racism and intolerance, is exploited by powermongers either within the Islamic community or within the government of the invaded country or both.

It seemed at first that there was some evidence that this was, in fact, happening in Europe, and there were also repeated claims of it happening in the US as well, but none of the claims have panned out so far and appear largely to be the result of fearmongering in the other direction (i.e. against Muslims), typically by Christian fundamentalists (especially in the US).

Most of the claims seem to fall into one of two categories:

  • Sharia law is being imposed within some jurisdiction, superceding legal code which should be applicable.
  • No-go zones exist within some city or area of some city, into which non-Muslims enter at their peril.
