Even the "peaceful" Muslims are currently at war with the world and they are winning.
Almost every "mainstream" religion is like this in that their "holy" books tell them to do heinous things that they don't do. There are certainly peaceful Muslims in the same way that there are peaceful Christians and peaceful Jews and peaceful Confucians. They warp the disgusting beliefs of their forefathers to make more palatable religions for the modern day. If any Christian or Jew were to take their religion as seriously as their religions have told them to, we'd be stoning divorced people to death, owning slaves for seven years and massacring nations of innocents in the name of "god."

What this does is, since muslims have 3-8 chilren, and most other countries have 1-2.5 children, is creates a muslim nation, Not to mention the converts who believe they are entering a "peaceful" religion.
The immigrate, then hold protests, the outvote people, or murder in the streets until finally a government collapses and a muslim authority takes hold, Welcome sharia law - Where men are everything and women have no rights.
Since when do "all who immigrate embrace the culture that they move to?" Show me a few examples of this. Each time I run scenarios through my head, I think of A: Conquistadors forcing conversions of hundreds of thousands of natives, B: Colonists taking over the Americas and maintaining their religion by killing the natives in their path. C: Millions of immigrants through the ages immigrating to places like the US solely because of the promise of freedom to maintain their culture. and D: the hundreds of different cultures such as the Creoles and the Amish and so many more living out lives and advancing as cultures, often parallel with, but unique from the predominant cultures of their nations.

Jews and Christians also have terms for non-believers (these terms come from being in control and in the majority) They're called Goyim and Heathens. If you don't kill them you're supposed to let them know that they'll only be "saved" if they believe what you believe.

Finally something I can agree with.
