The problem is, you lack hindsight, understanding and perspective. You fail to see past Muslims as well, Muslims. Have a look at regions with muslim populations today and you will discover many great and wonderful cultures and civilisations that have had a marked affect on society today.
Including, sometimes overlapping but not all inclusive; The Sumerians, Egyptians, Mesopotamians and Persians just to name a few.
Modern religions all have roots in the ancient ones and have just been distorted from their origin.

Ok .............so what positive things have the post war influx of massive no's of muslims bought to Europe.?
What positive things has the western colonisation and/or imperialism of every continent on earth brought to us (dwellers of the earth) as a collective? Slavery? War? Famine? Disease? Materialism? I can keep going..
Don't worry, as a human it is normal for you to externalise hatred, blame and to avoid honest reflection of yourself.
"Those damn Muslims" is an easier option than self assessment and realisation.edit on 23/11/11 by Pirateofpsychonautics because: (no reason given)

Hard to make sense of this babble - but it seems you are trying to suggest that from the ancient cultures that were conquered by Islam - a faint reflection of their accomplishments still shines through, and this somehow reflects well on Islam!!???
And further that the Islam is a distortion of various Pagan beliefs - unbelievable!
Paganism is a blanket term used in various contexts to refer to groups who are defined by either their religious beliefs, or in some cases lack thereof. In keeping with this, there is no one universally accepted definition of "paganism", with it being used alternatively to refer to a wide variety of different groups.

So rather than acknowledging that there is a dearth of positive contributions made by muslim immigration to the West.
You side step it by asking another question.
Ok - how about Western medicine and technology enabling third world populations to increase many fold.
Or maybe abolishing and policing the worlds (mostly arabic) slave trade

The Yinon Plan, which is a continuation of British stratagem in the Middle East, is an Israeli strategic plan to ensure Israeli regional superiority. It insists and stipulates that Israel must reconfigure its geo-political environment through the balkanization of the surrounding Arab states into smaller and weaker states.
At the same time, racist ideologies were put forth. The people whose lands were colonized were portrayed as "sub-human," inferior, or soulless. Finally, the "White Man’s burden" of taking on a mission of civilizing the so-called "uncivilized peoples of the world" was used. This cohesive ideological framework was used to portray colonialism as a "just cause." The latter in turn was used to provide legitimacy to the waging of "just wars" as a means to conquering and "civilizing" foreign lands.
“Instead of restless, difficult, creative, funny and smart Jews, Europe has imported Muslims who are generally poorly educated and frequently frustrated, aggressive and destructive.

Please just get a clue instead of being stuck in your little world.
Anti-Semitism is thousands of years old and those doing it today are simply parroting hatred because they really don't have a clue and never actually talk to those people they are conditioned to hate.
But, can you give one example in the Quran or in the teachings of Mohammed that says they are to love and embrace the Jews as their neighbors? Can you present one verse from the Quran that says they are to accept the kuffars as equals and not charge them the tax for not being Muslim?
Do you not like Anne Frank?
