The Islamification of Western Democracies

Islamic expansion once required 500 years of military conquest to achieve what is now happening just over the past 50 years through immigration, welfare policies, and mathematical inevitability. Europe’s Muslim population has surged from less than 1% in 1970 to a projected 10-14% by 2050—a transformation occurring 2-3 times faster than historical Islamic conquests.¹ Sweden potentially reaches 31%, Austria 21%, the UK 19%, and Germany 20%.² Western civilization is being replaced—not conquered—by committing demographic suicide through its own democratic processes and ideological paralysis, acute passivity, and naivete.

This greatest takeover in history is “silent,” not because it is invisible or surreptitious—the changes are obvious—but because Western societies have, by their own hands, criminalized any discussion of it.³ This transformation operates through physical replacement via demographics and ideological conquest through information warfare. Physical replacement requires no conquest—only open borders, welfare incentives,⁴ family reunification policies,⁵ refugee obligations,⁶ and a fertility differential guaranteeing Muslim demographic growth while native European populations collapse below replacement.⁷

Ideological conquest has weaponized social media and digital propaganda at unprecedented scale. State actors—primarily Iran, Qatar, and Turkey—invest billions in bot networks, influencer campaigns, and media empires amplifying pro-Islamic and anti-Israel narratives while recruiting Western progressives to Islamist causes.⁸ The Muslim Brotherhood, founded in 1928 to establish a caliphate based on Islamic supremacy,⁹ operates through seemingly independent but deeply connected channels: media outlets, NGOs, political parties, mosques, and community organizations.¹⁰ Through “patient extremism,” Brotherhood branches present violence and “jihad” as “resistance,” casting genocidal vows to exterminate Jews “from the river to the sea” as “anti-colonialism,” enhancing appeal to the progressive left.¹¹ By spinning terrorism as “resistance” and “anti-colonialism,” these jihadist groups recruit leftists to accelerate Western ideological dismantling. Alarmingly, this extends beyond activists to governing officials worldwide, mainstreaming replacement as acceptable “democratic” policy.¹²

Islamification has had dramatic repercussions on Israel’s security. Despite the tragedy of October 7, and the irrefutable evidence that Hamas perpetrated an unprecedented massacre on Israeli soil, the narrative that gained the most traction was that Israel is a “genocidal occupier” with “apartheid” oppression of innocent Palestinians. Through unprecedented social media subversion funded by over $1 billion by jihadist state actors, and Brotherhood-built influence infrastructure, the Islamist world succeeded in taking control of the narrative.¹³ When Jordan’s Islamic Action Front won parliamentary plurality in September 2024, with supporters chanting “All of Jordan is Hamas,” only to be exposed seven months later planning coordinated terror attacks including rocket production and weapons stockpiling,¹⁴ it demonstrated Brotherhood tactical flexibility: professing moderation while preparing violence, participating in democracy while plotting its overthrow.

Demographic Shifts Causing Internal Political Takeover

Europe faces multiple flashpoints in the UK, Sweden, and Germany where failed integration policies, economic marginalization, cultural provocations, and rising extremism create recurring cycles of violence resulting in fear for policy makers to act without concern of massive anarchistic reprisals, especially in matters involving Israel.¹⁵

From 2013 to 2023 the number of sexual violence offences, including rape, as recorded by police in the EU, has shown a steady increase, reaching a 79.2% increase in 2023 as compared with 2013.¹⁶ The increase in these crimes is rooted in deep cultural differences such as the devaluation of non-Muslim women by the purpetrators.¹⁷

In Germany, Muslim Brotherhood-affiliated Muslim Interaktiv marched through Hamburg in April 2024 demanding Germany become an Islamic state governed by Sharia.¹⁸

Sweden accepted more asylum seekers per capita than any European nation between 2010-2020.¹⁹ The city of Malmö, with its now over 30% Muslim immigrant population transformed from a prosperous industrial center to what Swedish police designated a ‘particularly vulnerable area’—official terminology for neighborhoods where criminal networks exercise de facto control.²⁰

Because of Islamification, France has needed to adapt its policy making. In June/July 2023, following the police shooting of Nahel Merzouk, 45,000 police needed to be deployed to control the riots that ensued, resulting in over 1 billion Euros of damage.²¹ President Macron announced plans to integrate Islam into French mainstream culture.²²

In the UK, during the summer of 2024, thousands marched through London chanting genocidal threats against Jews.²³ UK Muslim voters constitute decisive electoral blocs in dozens of constituencies. According to March 2024 polling, 32% of British Muslims favor Sharia law implementation; 48% feel more sympathy with Hamas than Israel; 80% believe Israel commits genocide; 49% think Israel has no right to exist; 46% think Jews in the UK have too much power.²⁴

Sadiq Khan’s 2016 election as London’s first Muslim mayor began a pattern. Khan has won three elections, governing nearly nine million people where Muslims comprise 15%.²⁵ Under his administration, London experienced a 1,350% increase in antisemitic incidents following October 7.²⁶ Muslim mayors now govern major British cities: Lubna Arshad (Oxford), Mohammed Asaduzzaman (Brighton), Shahin Ashraf (Solihull), Syeda Khatun (Sandwell), Rukhsana Ismail (Rotherham).²⁷ The pattern extends across Europe.²⁸

Canada has experienced the most significant proportional growth, with its Muslim population percentage increasing by 145% from 2000 to 2025, while the U.S. increased by 90% in the same time period.²⁹ Europe experienced a moderate expansion of 32%.³⁰ This demographic transformation has brought about several key consequences.

Canada’s trajectory is instructive. Naheed Nenshi served three terms as Calgary’s mayor before winning Alberta’s New Democratic Party leadership in 2024 with 86% support, positioning him as potential future premier.³¹ Canada’s 2025 federal elections delivered 13 Muslim MPs to the House of Commons.³²

In the U.S., in Times Square, New York City, mass Muslim prayer services for thousands occurred in September 2023 with speakers openly calling for Sharia law in the United States.³³

The issue is not Muslim political participation per se—democratic societies should enable all citizens to seek office regardless of religion. The pattern that merits examination is whether officials elected primarily by Muslim constituencies adopt policies that prioritize narrow community interests over broader societal integration, whether they challenge fundamental Western values, and whether they systematically oppose Israel regardless of circumstance.

American Political Capitulation

The mainstreaming of Islamist political infiltration is evident in the fact that Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is seriously considered a Democratic presidential candidate. AOC has been a founding member of “The Squad”³⁴—a far-left caucus whose ten members repeatedly lash out against Israel in ways unbefitting U.S. officials.³⁵ Following former U.S. President Joe Biden’s decision not to seek re-election, AOC emerged as a leading 2028 Democratic contender.³⁶ While avoiding explicitly antisemitic language, her actions speak clearly: voting against Israel’s Iron Dome funding,³⁷ repeatedly accusing Israel of “apartheid” and “war crimes,” and post-October 7 calling for “ceasefire” before Israel could defend itself or recover hostages.³⁸

The Squad’s ascendancy cannot be separated from Muslim Brotherhood infiltration of American progressive movements. Organizations like CAIR, founded by Brotherhood members and designated by the UAE as terrorist,³⁹ successfully position themselves as civil rights organizations. Squad Muslims Rashida Tlaib (D-MI), Ilhan Omar (D-MN), and Andre Carson (D-IN) repeatedly accuse Israel of “genocide” and of being an “Apartheid State.” On November 7, 2023, the House censured Tlaib 234-188 for “promoting false narratives” regarding October 7 and “calling for the destruction of the State of Israel.”⁴⁰

That elected U.S. officials comfortably express jihadist Brotherhood views demonstrates the urgency of Western ideological replacement.

On November 4, 2025, Zohran Mamdani was elected as the first Muslim mayor of America’s largest city.⁴¹ The symbolism of this transformation in New York, which was the location of the 9/11 tragedy, is noteworthy. He sought to reshape the narrative by portraying his family as victims, claiming his aunt feared wearing her hijab on the subway after that day.⁴² Though shown that Mamdani’s aunt never wore a hijab and wasn’t in New York then, the narrative gained momentum because the Western mindset has been influenced to immediately support anyone portrayed as a victim. Mamdani’s socialist agenda is no less alarming than his Muslim identification.

Hamtramck, Michigan became America’s first city with an all-Muslim city council in 2023, led by Muslim mayor Amer Ghalib.⁴³ The council immediately banned Pride flags on public property, overturning the city’s LGBTQ-friendly reputation.⁴⁴ Muslims now constitute Michigan’s largest ethnic group,⁴⁵ and Arab Americans’ overwhelming support for Donald Trump arguably secured his victory in this crucial swing state.⁴⁶ In neighboring Dearborn, the location of Ford Motor Company’s world headquarters, once regarded as the example of American industrialism, Muslims comprise 55% of the population,⁴⁷ with protesters openly chanting “Death to America” and “Death to Israel” during April 2024 demonstrations.⁴⁸

The Muslim Brotherhood’s American Strategy

The Brotherhood’s 1991 “Explanatory Memorandum,” discovered in FBI raids, explicitly outlines their goal: ‘eliminating and destroying Western civilization from within.’⁴⁹ The document identifies CAIR, ISNA, and MSA as Brotherhood fronts advancing this agenda through “civilization jihad.”⁵⁰ The Brotherhood mastered appearing moderate while advancing revolutionary aims—a strategy Sayyid Qutb termed jahiliyyah: viewing all non-Islamic governance as “ignorance” requiring replacement.⁵¹ Through “patient extremism,” Brotherhood branches present themselves as civil rights advocates while maintaining core commitments to Islamic supremacy.⁵²

The Red-Green Alliance: When Progressives Become Islamist Tools

The Brotherhood’s most successful strategy exploits what scholars term the “Red-Green Alliance”—the tactical cooperation between Western progressive movements (red) and Islamist organizations (green).⁵³ This alliance seems paradoxical: progressive movements champion LGBTQ rights, gender equality, and secularism—values fundamentally opposed to Islamic law. Yet post-October 7, thousands of progressives rallied behind “Queers for Palestine,”⁵⁴ supporting movements that would execute them under Sharia. A leaked French Interior Ministry report exposed how Brotherhood-affiliated organizations systematically lobby progressive political parties.⁵⁵

When Jordan’s Islamic Action Front, promising moderation, won parliamentary seats in September 2024, supporters chanted “All of Jordan is Hamas.” Seven months later, authorities exposed their coordinated terror plot including rocket production and weapons stockpiling.⁵⁶ This demonstrates Brotherhood strategy: democratic participation masks revolutionary intent.

Western capitulation accelerated post-October 7. Despite Hamas’s worst antisemitic massacre since the Holocaust, by September 2025, nine Western nations recognized Palestinian statehood—rewarding terrorism with diplomatic victory.⁵⁷ France’s Interior Ministry report documenting Brotherhood infiltration had zero political consequence.⁵⁸ UK riots erupted over immigration concerns,⁵⁹ Italy saw massive anti-Israel protests,⁶⁰ and Brotherhood networks expanded throughout Italian cities.⁶¹

The Digital Caliphate: How Social Media Became the New Conquest

The Brotherhood’s greatest innovation has succeeded in replacing physical conquest with digital conquest. Iran’s state apparatus operates the world’s largest bot networks, amplifying anti-Western and anti-Israel content.⁶² Qatar’s Al Jazeera, reaching 430 million viewers across 150 countries, systematically shapes global narratives against Israel.⁶³ Stanford researchers documented how Iranian networks create fake progressive accounts, building credibility through social justice content, before pivoting to anti-Israel messaging.⁶⁴

The impact is staggering. Pew Research shows 50% of Americans aged 18-29 now sympathize more with Palestinians than Israelis—a complete inversion from previous generations.⁶⁵ The Muslim Brotherhood built this through a coordinated media empire: Al Jazeera, Middle East Eye, and dozens of interconnected outlets.⁶⁶ These outlets don’t merely report—they manufacture reality, turning terrorism into resistance, genocide into liberation, and antisemitism into anti-colonialism.⁶⁷

Perhaps most insidious is Wikipedia manipulation. With six billion monthly visits,⁶⁸ Wikipedia shapes global perception. An October 2025 INSS report exposed coordinated networks of anti-Israel editors systematically distorting Israel-Palestine articles.⁶⁹ Pro-Palestinian editors outnumber pro-Israel editors 40-to-1 on relevant articles.⁷⁰

The Closing Window: Why Europe Cannot Reverse Course

Europe’s migration crisis exposed a fundamental paradox: even as citizens demand immigration restriction, politicians remain paralyzed. The Hague-based International Center for Counter-Terrorism (ICCT) published an urgent article in July 2025 stating that radical Islamist attacks have risen dramatically throughout Europe demonstrating a clear and present danger.⁷¹ Anti-Jewish hate crimes increased in the UK and now represent 40% of all hate crimes.⁷² France suffered repeated Islamic terror attacks,⁷³ and 300 French intellectuals signed a manifesto warning of “new antisemitism” driven by Islam.⁷⁴

European legal architecture built on universal human rights makes immigration restriction nearly impossible without abandoning founding principles. Institut Montaigne polling shows 32% of French Muslims reject secularism entirely; 22% consider Sharia superior to French law; 52% of young French Muslims believe October 7 was justified.⁷⁵ Belgium, Netherlands, Germany, and Sweden see similar patterns.⁷⁶ France’s Rima Hassan, elected to European Parliament, openly supports Hamas.⁷⁷ In November 2025, German authorities banned Muslim Interaktiv—yet similar groups proliferate.⁷⁸

Meanwhile, European nations systematically marginalize any political force attempting immigration restriction. France barred Marine Le Pen from the 2027 presidential ballot,⁷⁹ German intelligence targets the Alternative for Germany party,⁸⁰ and Geert Wilders—whose Party for Freedom won Netherlands’ most votes in 2023—remains frozen out of power.⁸¹ Belgium recognized Palestine shortly after government formation.⁸²

Alain Destexhe, an honorary senator in Belgium, former secretary general of Médecins Sans Frontières (Doctors Without Borders), former president of the International Crisis Group, and former president of the Parliamentary Network on the World Bank & IMF, warns that when Muslims become the majority, non-Muslims are reduced to second-class citizens.⁸³ He describes Brussels as a “failed city” where Belgian-origin people now represent only 23% of the population.⁸⁴ Turkish diaspora communities support Erdogan’s party at rates higher than voters in Turkey itself,⁸⁵ serving as vectors for spreading Islamization throughout Europe rather than integrating into secular Western society.⁸⁶

The Erosion of Western Democracy Has Concrete Security and Other Implications for Israel

The effects of Islamification and the strategic use of social and mainstream media manipulation by jihadist state actors has already caused, and threatens to cause a greater and far more significant shift in the way the Western world treats Israel, resulting in a material negative impact on Israel’s security and other interests.

• Diplomatic isolation: Seventeen out of twenty-seven EU member states now recognize Palestine—effectively rewarding terrorism with diplomatic victory.⁸⁷

  European Parliament members with Muslim constituencies increasingly adopt explicitly anti-Israel positions. France’s Rima Hassan openly supports Hamas and calls for Israel’s elimination.⁸⁸

  UN votes condemning Israel now regularly include European and other Western nations that previously abstained. This isolation endangers Israel’s operational freedom and emboldens adversaries.⁸⁹

• Legal warfare: European-funded NGOs systematically file cases against Israeli officials and soldiers in national and international courts, in additional to the European and other states’ support for Palestinian initiatives at the ICC and ICJ against Israel and its leaders.⁹⁰
• Material support for terrorist infrastructure: Western funding to UNRWA continued even after evidence emerged of UNRWA staff participation in October 7 attacks. European countries resumed over $190 million of funding after a short pause, and the private sector donations reached record levels of $153.6 million in 2024, $87 million more than in 2023.⁹¹
• Trump Gaza peace initiative: While this initiative succeeded in freeing the remaining live Israeli hostages from Hamas captivity and brought about a ceasefire, some view the arrangements included in the initiative as posing a potential threat to the security and existence of Israel. The recruiting by President Trump of Muslim Brotherhood countries such as Turkey and Qatar, as well as other Arab countries, in order to dismantle Hamas’s terror capabilities and rebuild Gaza as a potential pathway to a Palestinian state, each pose uncertain security implications for Israel. ⁹²

Conclusion: Western Civilization is On the Precipice

The greatest silent takeover succeeds because it operates simultaneously on multiple fronts, each reinforcing the others:

• Demographic transformation creates voting blocs that politicians fear alienating.
• Social media manipulation shapes narratives while recruiting progressive allies.
• Muslim Brotherhood patient extremism infiltrates institutions.
• Muslim political leadership leverages democratic power to advance Islamist goals.
• Western governments capitulate.
• The Squad brings antisemitism into mainstream Democratic politics.

Each of these fronts alone might be manageable; their convergence creates a system that accelerates rather than moderates.

Western civilization faces a stark choice: implement difficult, but necessary corrective policies before demographic transformation becomes irreversible, or accept the continuing trajectory toward demographic replacement, political capitulation, and civilizational collapse.

Such corrective policies could include:

• limiting Muslim immigration from regions with demonstrably high radicalization rates,
• ending refugee resettlement programs from Islamic-majority nations that export extremism, and replacing it with points-based immigration that prioritizes cultural compatibility,
• reforming citizenship laws to require demonstrated commitment to Western democratic values,
• designating the Muslim Brotherhood and its affiliates as terrorist organizations,
• requiring mosques to register foreign funding sources, and
• countering state-sponsored social media manipulation, and protecting free speech about Islam and immigration.

These policies might well be viewed and denounced as “Islamophobic,” “racist,” and “anti-democratic.” They may require modifications to current interpretations of human rights law, refugee conventions, and immigration treaties. But difficulty does not constitute impossibility.

“The great replacement” is not a conspiracy theory. It is rapidly underway, documented in official statistics, demographic projections, and observable reality.

As stated by Geert Wilders in 2007: “Islam is the Trojan Horse in Europe. If we do not stop Islamification now, Eurabia and Netherabia will just be a matter of time.”⁹³

America has perhaps 20 years—one generation—to decide whether to follow Europe into civilizational replacement or to implement the politically difficult, but mathematically necessary policies to prevent it.

The choice, for now, remains. But only for now.
