The Swiss better be prepared to deal with their burning cities.

The police are allowed to carry guns, aren't they?

Sorry if you having lived there doesn't have me awestruck.
Sweden.

10% in France?

Btw, even 10% or 15% would not be an "invasion".

Estimates of the number of Muslims in France vary widely. In accordance with a law dating from 1872[citation needed], the French Republic does not ask about religion in its census. Nor does it ask for ethnic origin. In 2006 the United States Department of State placed it at roughly 10%,[2] while two 2007 polls placed it at 3% of the national population.[3] The CIA World Factbook places it at 5-10%.[4] In 2000, the French Ministry of the Interior estimated the total number of people born into Islam as 4.1 million and converts as about 40,000. Estimates of numbers of Muslims, and the alleged dangers in the housing projects of the suburbs by the Renseignements Généraux, the intelligence agency, have often been criticized. Critics in particular are the Monde diplomatique and the Canard Enchaîné.

And actually it WOULD be an invasion....if 10% of a foreign and hostile group was living in your town you would consider it an invasion...or perhaps you wouldn't,the more 'tolerant' types are more than willing to sacrificed as long as they don't appear to be intolerant....

I imagine you do not consider the 20 million illegals here in the USA an invasion either....

Is that all you have to say if you don't have a valid source? How can I break the news to you? The United States does not know more than the french gov't. in terms of who is living in France. And even the U.S info was 3% after they realized 10% is bogus.

FRANCE
Total population: 62.3 million
Muslim population: Five to six million (8-9.6%)
Background: The French Muslim population is the largest in western Europe. About 70% have their heritage in former north African colonies of Algeria, Morocco and Tunisia. France favours integration and many Muslims are citizens. Nevertheless, the growth of the community has challenged the French ideal of strict separation of religion and public life. There has been criticism that Muslims face high unemployment and often live in poor suburbs. A ban on religious symbols in public schools provoked a major national row as it was widely regarded as being a ban on the Islamic headscarf. Late 2005 saw widespread and prolonged rioting among mainly immigrant communities across France.
Sources: Total population - National Institute for Statistics and Economic Studies, 2004 figures; Muslim population - French government estimate.
