The article focuses on current conflicts between the growing community of ethnic Muslims in Europe and the declining society of ethnic Europeans. It also suggests the possible ways to resolve the conflicts. It mentions the murder case in which Dutch-Moroccan murderer Mohammed Bouyeri murdered Dutch filmmaker Theo van Gogh in 2004. It is suspected that Bouyeri killed Van Gogh considering him to be an American as he had made a mention of the U.S. on a note placed over Van Gogh's body. An overview of the European Muslim community's hatred towards Americans is reflected from several instances including bookstores in London, England being flooded with literature on Jihad against the U.S., and preaching against the American way of life in Marseille, France.
