Obviously, the problem of the immigration and the ethinic replacement exists and is very real. But the root causes of it are the hyper-capitalism and anti-nationalistic ideology that has been imposed in Europe in the last 60 years.
Although the problem is very real, the interpretations thereof and the remedies proposed by the Eurabianists (ie. Bat Yeor and her ilk, those who sustain the therory of Eurabia) are deeply distorted.
First and fundamental flaw in this interpretation is their view of the West. Thw West is for them a monolithic civilizational and cultural block, which includes all Europe (Russia and Belarus excluded), USA, Israel, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and maybe Japan and South Korea. This block has common "values", which make it so special, it has certain "responsabilities" in the world (like the exportation of democracy, through insidious infiltration of agents and through warfare). The premises of this civilization are found in the ridiculous and constructed notion of Judeo-Christianity, in the liberal and rationalistic tradition of the Enlightenment and in the practice of the free market capitalism (as if some sort of market hadn't existed throughout the entire human history and in all civilizations???), while its present embodiments in political and economic sphere are EU and NATO (here lies the contradiction: what about Turkey?), ANZUS. The values of this monolithic civilization are beyond any questioning, lest one be denounced as the traitor of the West, anti-Western, anti-American, and, worst of all, ant-eye-Seemite.
The aim of the Euarbianists is to shape a consciousness in Europe that it belongs, in an inextricable bond, to that constructed "West", that it must fight all its enemies at all fronts. Today they're pointing at the Islam as the another monolithic block which threatens the "West", tomorrow it can be Russia, or God knows who...
I am only worried that these propaganda distortions and lies might penetrate into the minds of the common European people and brain-wash them.
