Just look at all the migrants from North Africa flooding Europe right this moment.

It's not far fetched to think that during this generation or in the next one that will cause a massive implosion of society in Europe which would of course have vast influence around the globe.

Just think what would happen if France's military and nuclear arsenal would fall into islamic extremist hands.

The French Republic becoming an Islamist state isn't far fetched. Really. That's a serious post on HN these days.

Not in the future no. If the Islamic population in France becomes the majority, and that's a reasonable possibility during this century, then it's perfectly acceptable that part of the population elects a radical islamic leader for president.

Many dictators got to power with free elections if you care to look at history.
