One  aspect that has caught my attention is the exodus of Muslims from the arc of nations  around the Mediterranean  Sea to Europe.  The reasons for this migration are many, but basically stem for a desire to lead a better life as the entire Muslim world is in ferment. There is widespread chaos with a internal fight between the  various sects of Islam. There is a Shia-Sunni conflict and there is a moderate-ISI conflict as well as a conflict of the Muslim world with western values. All these conflicts have turned the entire arc around the Mediterranean Sea into a war zone. Killings are the order of the day and food is scarce.

In such a scenario it is inevitable that large numbers of Muslims numbering close to half a million will try and escape to places where they can live a secure life. The nearest area for these Muslims to migrate is Europe , which is comparatively tranquil and peaceful. As on date an estimated 200,000 Muslims are braving the dangerous voyage across the Mediterranean Sea  to escape to Europe and hundreds have died in trying to make this crossing. I am sure in teh months to come upward of 2/3 million Muslims from North Africa and Middle East will try to escape to Europe. I will not be surprised in case this crosses 10 million in the years to come. This is what is called an exodus and likely to swamp Europe and its way of life.

Europe is itself in deep economic trouble with the EU on verge of collapse and nations like Greece, Italy and Spain on the anvil of a monetary breakdown. As such Europe will not be able to absorb this massive Muslim influx. This exodus also has deeper repercussions and these are rooted in history. For centuries Europe particularly Spain and the Balkans were ruled by Muslims under the Moors and the Ottoman empire. This massive influx is likely to be like a second invasion of Europe and the European powers are wary of this.

The exodus of Muslims to Europe has other portends as well. It is well known that Muslims do not integrate in the society they migrate to. Look at France, which has the largest Muslim population in Europe. Here the Muslims  have not integrated with the French society and ideals and have propagated their own brand of life as well as indulged in terrorist acts that undermine the French state. Thus, in case millions of Muslims are allowed into Europe , there is a chance that European society will be cultivating a fifth column. These very Muslims now asking for food and shelter will gang up together to further the concept of a universal Islamic state. At that time Europe will be in great peril and the Muslims will be the greatest threat to European way of life.

I am afraid the choice before Europe is limited as millions of refugees in due course will flood to its shores. It may become impossible to stem the tide  I have a l lurking fear that Europe will never be the same again
