Eminent Western academics endorse the claim that Muslims are taking over Europe

Evidence

Laqueur is not the only senior academic taking this or a similar view. Bernard Lewis speaks in more urgent tones, saying that Muslims “seem to be about to take over Europe.” Harvard’s Niall Ferguson has echoed Lewis. 26 The thesis that Europe is in decline and soon to be overtaken by the Muslim communities it hosts is not without high academic pedigree. — Michael A. Reynolds and Thomas D. Grant, The Future of Europe and Its Muslims, 136

Categorization

• XREF: Connects directly to the Islamophobia chapters in Black Marxism’s companion literature — ‘The New Crusades’ documented how respectable institutional voices license anti-Muslim panic.
• SEED: Angle: ‘The Professors of Decline’ — how the ‘Eurabia’ thesis migrated from fringe blogs into Harvard and Princeton faculties, and why scholarly pedigree launders demographic panic.
• SHARE: The detail that Lewis and Ferguson, not just polemicists, pushed the takeover thesis is the kind of tidbit to send someone tracking elite discourse on Islam.
