I would like to propose a thought experiment about how the Western
world would respond to the following scenario:

As a result of increasing discrimination, persecution of various
forms, and acts of violence against Muslim immigrants in Europe, there
emerges a movement for them to immigrate to a single country where the
force of their numbers will allow them some political clout and self
protection. Because of its liberal immigration policies, its
relatively small population and the social tolerance there, Luxembourg
is selected for the European Muslim homeland.

Over a period of time, Muslims from Europe and some from other
locations begin settling in Luxembourg and buying up land until they
reach about 10% of the population However, despite its reputation
for tolerance, Luxembourg citizens become uncomfortable with the
number of Muslims in the country and there are numerous incidents of
inter-religious violence. Luxembourg seeks to limit Muslim
immigration, but Muslims set up smuggling organizations, which
continue to bring in immigrants covertly. Throughout Europe they
begin arming themselves for self-defence. At a certain point, the
Muslim population of Luxembourg reaches 20% and the communal violence
continues to escalate.

Finally, the UN decides that the only way to deal with this is to
partition Luxembourg with Muslims on one side and Christians on the
other. The Muslim minority is given the majority of land, and
immediately agrees to the division, although privately Muslim leaders
say that they intend to take the entire country for the Greater
Islamic Republic of Luxembourg. The Christians reject the partition,
but before they can organize themselves to respond the Muslims have
begun forced deportations on their side of the partition line, sending
hundreds of thousands of refugees into western Luxembourg, France, and
Belgium. Never happy about having a Muslim nation in the region, and
concerned about the ethnic cleansing, Belgium and France send troops
into the Christian side of the partition but are driven back by the
Muslims, who then claim the territory they have taken by force.

The Muslims refuse to allow Christian refugees to return to their side
of the partition and they expropriate their land as abandoned
property. However, they encourage immigration of Muslims from Europe,
the Middle East and East Asia. And they begin buying up arms, with aid
from oil-rich Muslim countries, until, despite their size, they are
the most powerful military in the region.

Within 20 years they have fought two wars with their neighbors and
have seized the remainder of Luxembourg, and parts of France, Belgium
and Germany. They sporadically engage in unprovoked military action
against countries in the region, bombing a dam in Germany because it
would divert some water from Luxembourg, bombing a nuclear power plant
in Austria to prevent that country from developing nuclear weapons,
and bombing the headquarters of the Luxembourg Liberation Organization
in Rome. The have plotted or threatened to overthrow the governments
of every neighboring country and they invaded and occupied the
Netherlands for 18 years and recently decimated a large part of its
infrastructure because, "The Party of God," a militant Protestant
group was launching rocket attacks on them from there.

They insist that they just want to make peace with their neighbors but
they must continue their periodic military incursions into neighboring
countries because of ongoing terrorist attacks against them. They
claim that they need the occupied territories they have as a
self-defense buffer zone, but they have moved hundreds of thousands of
Muslims into these territories and created hundreds of towns and
villages in them. Their neighbors are afraid that they will now seek
more land as a buffer zone to protect the new settlements.

But the Muslims claim that Christians are uncivilized fanatics who
just want to kill all the Muslims, so it is impossible to make peace
with them. They quote statements from Ann Coulter, a leading American
Christian political commentator as proof that this is the evil intent
of all Christians, and they cite the genocide in Bosnia as evidence
that this is not just bellicose political rhetoric. But, they say,
Muslims can fight back now. And they do.
