Demographic momentum can reverse the direction of cultural colonization.

Evidence

European host societies never regain the cohesiveness ·of identity and purpose to assert themselves against an energetic, rising social order. Ultimately, the MUslim populations of Europe overwhelm the host societies, until Europe becomes a socio-religious extension of the Ncar East and North Africa, possibly with residual enclaves of the pre-Islamic European population left from place to place. Pressure from within and from without compels the European states to distance themselves from cooperation with the United States, particularly in the Middle East. — Michael A. Reynolds and Thomas D.
