What is perhaps even stranger is that the rural communities tend to be more anti-immigration while it's the major cities that are filled with immigrants. Perhaps you don't notice anymore if you live there since the change was gradual for those who live there, although when I visit a major European city it's unmistakable.

There was a fear with some that all the Muslims are going to start their own party, some of which happened in the UK, and take a lot of parliamentary seats (perhaps in coalition with the left, even though they are conservative). So far this hasn't happened to any large extent, they are far more focused on fighting each other, many having brought the conflicts from the old country with them. It's going to be truly dangerous if/when they turn on the rest of society which isn't armed or even prepared for any kind of conflict. The police also don't seem prepared to deal with it.
If I were Jewish I would not want to live in a major western European city.
