The question has been floated recently for obvious reasons. And yes, in before someone says it's been Islam versus everyone else for thousands of years now. We know. I'm interested in this discussion from a contemporary perspective.

So, we all see what's going on in Israel right now plus all the videos coming out in Europe with the Muslims celebrating the massacre. It's been theorized constantly there are sleeper cells all over the world in the west. It's true I'm sure.

But let's say the gloves finally come off. Sleeper cells get active in Europe again - I'm talking trains, subways, large historical tourist areas. Also here in the U.S. - a few selected suicide bombings in DC, NYC, and Boston or Philadelphia to try and destroy some of our monuments. All committed in the name of Allah and pro Hammas or ISIS.

How does the west respond? Do we? I think it's time for everyone to have an uncomfortable discussion about Islam and its followers. Sure, everyone knows the nice Muslim lady who serves you coffee or whatever, but she still wears the garb doesn't she? What's she been doing today?

Of course the collective western government response will be to ignore it or deflect and blame it on the extremists. That's BS. It's going to be up to the people it seems like. So what would you do, if a part of Houston was blown up by Muslims? How about Kyle field on a packed Saturday?

How long will we excuse barbaric behavior before it's time to destroy the poison? I expect we won't. So get ready for the third world - democrats have been successfully importing it for the past few decades. Buckle up.

Any cults and extremists are a problem to our society and should be limited as threats.

God wins.

If the one true God is Yahweh... Israel wins.

If the one true God is Allah... Muslims win.

If Jesus was who He says He is... then Christians will be satisfied with the end times.

If there is no god, then we all lose.

So you're suggesting that an army of private citizens would or should take on Islam while our government is actively opposed to that? Yeah, that's not going to happen.

These things flare up routinely, this one will likely be mostly petered out within weeks at most. More long term? Yeah, Muslims will completely displace western Europeans mostly without a fight, that ship has sailed. As far as what happens in North America that'll be up to our new Hispanic population to decide during this century, because we'll be fully Hispanic before Muslims are here in great numbers. Overall, western civilization put itself on a path to suicide a while back, that's only going to accelerate.

It's crazy, almost the entire Western hemisphere will be majority Hispanic at the end of this century.

I feel like Islam is in its dark ages period. It never was as unified as the Holy Roman Empire, definitely more unified during the crusades. Modern perversion of thier faith by Imams and lack of pushback from the faithful. Then again, to me, Islam always kinda read like a "rules of engagement " against everyone non muslim/ Kafir

I think there are progressive minded people of the Islamic faith in the western world, by progressive I dont mean politically. I could see conflict dividing families that still have ties to the old world.

Not that it really matters for this discussion, but Islam has only been around for about 1400 years.

This is an interesting question worth exploring. What does the Hispanic majority of the United States do when they finally take full control of the government and thus, the nuclear arsenal. I'd guess they'd still be pro Israel but yes we are going to see a similar struggle here between Hispanics who are all in on America and those that still wave the Mexican flag every day.

From a much wider view I actually wonder more about how India and China and Russia will deal with Islam after we're gone. I don't think they'll be willingly submissive like the west. But that won't happen until after I'm gone so I'll never know.

Hard to know the dynamics of those in power in 100 years.

Will India follow the west with progressivism?

Will Russia maintain an autocracy?

How long will the people of China allow themselves to be subjects to a communist regime?

No telling

I honestly don't know, but my point was just that I don't think the result will be up to our current population anyway. Unless I'm temporarily brain-dead I can't think of any Hispanic countries that have any kind of meaningful minority populations, at least not dramatically different people. I have no idea what to expect when we have a country that's overwhelmingly Hispanic but still with fairly large Asian and black and middle-eastern societies.

I've often thought that blacks will have it the worst. I lived in Laredo for most of my childhood where my mom and I were two of the very few whites around and there was only one black family I was ever aware of there. The other part of my childhood (divorced parents) was growing up in northeast Texas and I can assure you that I heard more overt anti-black racist (but pretty racist in general, I was "the Gringo" even to my friends) sentiment in south Texas than I ever heard from east Texas whites.

And Hispanics are not going to go for any sort of collective guilt about blacks like whites have. They better get their reparations while they can. And so when it comes to Islam I'd imagine that a society that is much more Catholic than what we currently have is probably going to be less welcoming to Muslims. But who the hell knows. All I know is that I won't be deciding any of this. I love Hispanic people individually and culturally, but not so much politically, but they are definitely different than our current majority and that will be a big factor in how this plays out,

They almost all have meaningful minority populations. Cuba is largely white with significant mestizo and African populations. Look at Argentina, Uruguay, Chile, Colombia, Venezuela, Panama, etc.

It's majority "white" because they count Hispanics as white. Puerto Rico shows 76% white when we all know that's a technicality and not European whites like we're talking about.

We should probably use the term Anglo instead of white. Most Hispanics are at least in part white. Or Caucasian

Alright, well let me be more specific then, they have no significant populations of Asians or middle-easterners or Jews among others that America has so it will still be an interesting adaptation.

I give up. Ethnicity and race are automatic quicksand topics.

Let me try to be comedically and possibly offensively blunt because I grew up around almost exclusively Hispanic people and I know what I'm talking about.

Carlos Rodriguez Sanchez listening to Tejano music and eating a delicious potato and egg taco on his way to San Luis Rey Catholic Church is likely going to have a different way of interacting with Abdul Muhammed moving to town than will Stephen McCoy Thompson of Bridgeport Connecticut who's driving past a church listening to Taylor Swift and eating a croissant.

There, I'm done.

I won't argue that. Interestingly enough,tacos al pastor were brought to Mexico by the Lebanese, which has a pretty significant population of descendents in Mexico. Carlos Slim is of Lebanese descent.

I think most people have a general thought in mind of what "Hispanic" looks like (Euro + Indigenous mixed to varying degrees), but since it just means "originating from Latin America" or something along those lines, you wind up having tons of purely European Hispanics along with purely African Hispanics to go along with the wide variety of mixing that has occurred amongst the Europeans, Indigenous, and Africans to varying degrees depending on the country.

You ain't wrong.

But I see a significant difference between 1st generation, old school, Mexican Americans and Chicano gang bangers. The "Americanization" of some cultures has been quite a **** show.

IM ADMITTEDLY stealing this from another poster but its not any less accurate. Your extremist muslims want to kill every christian and jew on the earth and anyone else who isnt muslim. Your everyday moderate muslim, prays that your extremist muslims kill every christian and jew on the earth and anyone else who isnt muslim. Thats Jihad.

Go read the Koran. I have read all of it. It is very difficult to read. The earlier Sura's, while Muhammad was in Mecca, were mostly peaceful. But when he moved to Medina he became more violent promoting conversion by the sword. Muslims believe that the Sura's written later abrogate the ones written earlier. Go read Sura 9, the last one written. The violence and hate displayed in that one Sura (chapter like in the Bible), is very sobering. I wouldn't agree that Muslims believe like Christians. Islam is totally works oriented. There is no Grace in Islam. You do and do some more with the only sure way to Muslim heaven is to die as a martyr. They do believe that Christians and Jews re-wrote the Bible for their own nefarious reasons. To the Muslim Abraham, through the Biblical prophets to Jesus were all Muslim.

Big difference between Jesus and Muhammed.

One sought forgiveness.

One had authority to forgive.
