"Madam President, the Mediterranean is going up in flames. Obviously, immigration will increase. As civilised people, we need to treat all these people like human beings. However, we must not overlook the fact that most immigrants come from Muslim countries.
According to the official report, Muslim populations are set to rise by 35%, from 1.6 billion to 2.2 billion, over the next twenty years. Europe today has just 2.7% of the Muslim population. With these influxes and this birth rate, this is expected to rise to 6% in twenty years. So, as you can see, an economic and social reversal in the functioning of Europe, in European culture, is on its way.
We therefore need to look at the issue as Europe and not leave the Member States to address it on their own."@en1
