Public pressure to limit immigration has prompted Conservative populist gains across Europe.
After the Islamic extremist terrorist attack on America on Sept. 11, 2001, there were fears of anti-Muslim backlash. But 25 years later, the script has been flipped.
Ten million or more Muslims have immigrated to the west.
Today, Muslim figures are mayors of New York and London. But there’s also conflict. Europe is gripped by tensions caused by the rapid demographic change.
A fatal stabbing in Southampton, south of London, last December provided one example of the cultural and political pressure point.
