I know. Whenever I'm in an International Airport I always feel like I'm in a different country. Once I was waiting for my flight and a flight from China debarked at the next gate and I thought I was in China when all the Chinese people traveling from China got off of their flight from China. LOL
Not really true. Even in America often various areas of a metro are more foreign than the airport. Go to a metro's Walmart and you will feel like you are in a different country, several different ones at the same time. One aisle Mexico, then next aisle Somalia etc, the next aisle at an UN convention.
Maybe your fear is not rational given the fact that there is only 1% Muslims in US.
Well gays are maybe around that percent and look how much and fast they got things changed. I have more tolerance for gays than those of foreign origin and gays still can act intolerable.
Diversity is just a tool or hammer to alter the West. You have a large percentage of the population who are leftist swinging that hammer tool for Muslims and other diversity.
I don't even blame the diversity as much as the policymakers who put the situation in place.
Lol, you've obviously not been at baggage claim at a European airport when a jumbo jet lands from the Middle East.
You've also obviously not been anywhere recently that's been "Merkelized." Vienna City Center is like going to a suq surrounded by classical European architecture.
I agree.
I've been in "Merkelized" Europe and it's very different now than 20 years ago. Anyone who doesn't realize it probably hasn't been traveling much lately, if at all.
I know. Whenever I'm in an International Airport I always feel like I'm in a different country. LOL
There are only a few airports where I felt that way, most notable London. Glasgow wasn't that way at all. Whenever I'm in Glasgow airport I realize where I am.

What does that have to do with anything?
Muslims don't have a huge foothold in the US, yet. But this thread is about Europe, not the US.
(Interestingly, despite being 1% of the population, as you say, 20% of terrorist acts on American soil are perpetrated by Muslims, and over 50% of FOILED terror plots are Islamic terror plots). May Allah save you when and if those numbers ever cross a 10% threshold.
In EUROPE, if current trends continue Muslims may be at a minimum a plurality of many countries in Western Europe. Before that occurs many cities and towns will flip demographics. How can anyone think that's a recipe for Egalite, Fraternite et Libertie?
(Though some religious people applaud the erosion of western European progressiveness, even if it means imposition of strict moral codes and blasphemy laws of a foreign religion to get them to that result. They'd rather more burkas in the street if it means less alcohol and skimpy clothing and sexual freedom. Is that you, perhaps?)

Gays are about 3%-5% of the population. The moment they cease to be "worth more" than the Muslim vote, the Democrats will drop them like a hot potato and/or their needs will be ceded to those of the Muslims.
You can already see how this is playing out in the US re: Jews. The Jewish population has remained steady. The Muslim population is growing. The left is now becoming more openly anti-semitic under the guise of "concerns for Palestine."

You clipped my response to you so I have provided it above. I do not understand why someone would say what you say whilst in an INTERNATIONAL airport. The key word here is INTERNATIONAL. Of course you are going to see people that are traveling from other countries and people that dress differently than you do. I'm not sure I understand your logic???

Agree. Anti-Zionism is the new anti-Semitism. Read any thread condemning Israel, and sooner or later, 90% of the anti-Israel posters will slip with anti-Semitic stereotypes at best and blatant anti-Jew comments at worse.

Well sure, Glasgow has hardly any flights to the Middle East compared with London and nowhere near as many Middle-Eastern tourists that London gets. This is hardly news.
