Spain used to be dominated by Muslims but I am not sure if they were converts or Muslims from Northern Africa then later these Muslims were kicked out or forcibly converted to Christianity when I think Northern spain took over Southern
Spain, I need to brush up on my history though. Didn't you know Cordoba was built by Muslims, same with the Alhambra. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Expulsion_of_the_Moriscos https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moors- Nevermind the Moors invaded Spain.
Yeah I'm quite familiar with Iberian history. Most Muslims were converted natives. Well it was actually partially built by a Muslim he with an interesting story let's say he didn't follow the Koran closely. Anyway he himself was partially the descendant of Basques, on his maternal side he traced to the first king of Pamplona.
My guess is that the native people of the following countries are at a higher than normal risk.
Countries with asterisks is due to rising seas and the dissappearance of their home countries.
Syria is mostly because, according to some reports, most Syrians don't live in Syria anymore and the ones left want to leave. Lebanon is currently flooded with Syrians in the north and Palestinians in the south, not a pretty picture for the native Lebanese. Did I mention that Lebanon is the size of a peanut? Yep, not looking good at all. Hopefully Isis doesn't want access to the Mediterranean, because otherwise Lebanon might be their next target.

I can't remember any other countries. By the way, I know England is not a country but I think the English are on their way to extinction, at least as we know them.

Good information. Thanks, I knew Muslims had been in Southern Spain for a while but thought that it was 50% invasion 50% converts kind of thing and since many of the converts where kicked out, I thought that could mean that technically Spain kicked out it's native population.

Basically they did the Moriscos were largely indigenous Iberians the Moors were a small minority from the beginning and after 700 years even in Southern Spain the North African/Middle Eastern admixture was relatively insignificant.
