If I understand correctly, Drake is taking much more of a Bigot approach. He’s not afraid of a war against the Muslim nations, but rather of Islam as a religion and Culture.
He fears that if the European nations don’t act against the Muslims and their (pretty large scale) immigrations to Europe, they will come into their societies and slowly eat them up, until there is no more Christian European culture, only Islamic culture and traditions.
Partially I can understand where he’s coming from: Europeans are accepting more and more reductions to their tradition and culture in order to be more ‘politically correct’ towards Muslim immigrants, while at the same time, many of them accept none, and behave as if they were still back in their Muslim countries.
As an American, you might have a harder time understanding his point, as you guys seem to consider the Muslims as much more of a Foreign-Policy threat than a threat from the Interior in form of Immigrants. From a German - and by now generally European - viewpoint, there’s a much bigger fear of a loss of our old culture, induced by the two-hit punch of American culture from the one side, and Muslims (mainly Turks) from the other. The one overwhelms us with the sheer amount of advertisements and promotions (coupled with often superior quality), the other by sheer number of immigrants. At the same time, the people feel that the political elite is too far off the ground to realize the fundamental problem that many of the Turkish immigrants don’t feel like adapting, but rather had their surroundings adapt to them.
It’s a bit of stretch, but you can compare the Muslims to the African-Americans in a couple of ways. They have pretty much taken over the German Hip-Hop Culture, they make up a huge number of the Lower Class and they have, in some areas, pretty much created their own little ‘Ghettos’. Except nobody kidnapped them into our country and nobody enslaved them, they all came on their own.
The big difference is, however, that they - or at least a disappointingly high number of them - do not adopt the culture, values or religion of the nation they live in, but rather expect the nation to work towards theirs. Some of them even have the boldness to try to sue the countries for not working enough towards making their nation ‘Muslim-friendly’!
You even have Anti-German, Anti-French and/or Anti-English Protests (depending on the country) conducted by them every odd time, almost as if we had in fact enslaved them…
If you feel like taking the time, just try following English, French or German media [try Spiegel, they have an English-language version of their German news]. You’ll be surprised how many problems there actually are with immigrants compared to ‘The Melting Pot’ America.
