I think you miss understand what I am saying, By them I am referring to the country, for example Food is heavily subsidized by the government in Saudi Arabia. This subsidy is funded by the huge wealth the government has earned via taxes on the exports of oil. I cant find the source but I believe the Saudi government still has trillions of USD in surplus.

I don't see a lot of value in what you are saying, which amounts to:

A certain country that is rich as anything might get poor 50 or 100 years from now, and the majority of people in that country are of a certain religion and so a lot of people of that religion may decide to relocate and when to hey do, they may come to Europe. And if they do ... so what?

Imagine you favorite town. Say, NY. Imagine 20 million people of a certain religion relocating there. Could be Muslims, hardcore religious nuts from the South, whatever.

Imagine them changing the culture of the place towards their religious views and customs. E.g. persecuting gays. Enforcing strict restrictions to their women (and other women). Not in the "melting pot", ethnic-flavor cutesy way of NY, in the "we are too many of us now here and we want things a certain way".

This can happen to a place. And it has already happened to certain places, neighborhoods in Europe and elsewhere.

The inverse can happen too: a place get full of Westerners, expats, etc, and they alter its color, buy the government to do them favors, pass their own laws, even sponsor a full blown sex industry with the locals as victims, like in Thailand. Usually with them it's through influence though, from their power and wealth, not from their numbers.

Mass immigration is hard on everyone involved, it being a particular religion isnt really relevant. Just saying people will need to stop with the islamiphobia because its predominately Islamic people will become a major component of west/European populations when the PetroOil economy breaks down. What is the value of this post that you commented on? Value is subjective.

This adds the value.
