ABSTRACT

The massive influx of Muslim populations into Europe since the 1950s and the establishment of large, self-confident, and permanent Muslim communities amounting to millions there, has also caused Muslim culture, traditions, customs, and politics to take root there. The newly established Muslim communities in the West are becoming a permanent component of the local societies due to their exponential demographic growth, which assures them that their numbers, hence their political influence, can only increase in the future in view of both the negative growth in Western societies on the one hand, and the rapid development of the Muslim communities on the other hand. Jewish communities in the West know that the infrastructure of anti-Semitism has been solidly rooted in European soil and is only likely to expand due to the supplement of the transplanted Muslim anti-Semitism into the West. Resolving the Arab-Israeli dispute in the foreseeable future, Jewish communities in Europe will face very difficult choices.
