The fear of Muslims taking over has no concrete content.

Evidence

It is, in the end, all for the same non-specific, impersonal fear of a Muslim planet. The Christchurch shooter was worried that Muslims were taking over. But what were they taking over? What would things look like if they did? These pluralistic, integrating Muslims who were airline pilots and college professors and homemakers and literal small children—what did they want to do that was so sinister? Was it to be slightly different? To wear religious garb that was different, and pray in a different house of worship (to, I hasten to add, the same monotheistic Abrahamic God as that of Christians and Jews)? — Arsalan Iftikhar, Fear of a Muslim Planet_ Global…, 814
