If current trends continue, there will probably be more open mosques than open churches in some European cities.
Maybe - but a lot of churches here are converted into bars, nightclubs or houses. Muslims are extremely devout - 'Christians' in the UK and western Europe in general are not. Christianity is still the largest religion by far, but less people are professing to be such.

When I typed "open churches", I meant those that were still used as churches.
That video is a crock. It's propaganda that is trying to scare people into converting everyone to christianity. Does this assume they'll be able to convert muslims? Not much chance of that. So go ahead - freak out.

I know - maybe I didn't explain myself very well. I am saying that many are converted into bars and clubs because the vast majority of the population, Christian or otherwise, do not attend church, and if there are more open mosques than churches, I'd say it is more to do with the big decline in church attendance and religiosity than the rising Muslim population (both of which are significant).
Do you think I'm actually going to research each country mentioned to see where the errors are? It's easy to see just by the tone that it's trying to scare Americans who already are paranoid about Al Qaeda around every corner. And the clincher: convert everyone to christianity so you can stop this?! Oh please!
