| Summary / Abstract (Note) | Europe now faces three related but different challenges: how to respond, in a time when "native" European populations are shrinking, to the growing presence of Muslim minorities; how to avoid having its relationships with its Muslim communities controlled by Islamists who seek to replace Western civilization with Islamic government based on sharia law; and what to do generally about this Islamist threat. Thus far, the European responses to these challenges have been shaped by four factors: accumulated civilizational exhaustion; the inability to grasp the challenge posed to European national identities by the allure of the global Caliphate; weakness arising from degraded security capabilities, including the impact of the continued drive to "build Europe" by adopting the Treaty of Lisbon; and the preference for appeasement of Islamist demands. |
