>>As long as the countries remain governed by religious politics and inflict God's so called will on others, there cannot be an end to the conflict.

This is very important. The people from the Islamic countries should rise above their God's so called will in a similar way as how the European Christians rose above their God's so called will. We need a Islamic Arab renaissance and a corresponding Islamic Separation of church (mosque/sharia) and state.

I know this opinion is highly unpopular, but until said "Renaissance" happens, I see mass Muslim immigration to Western countries as a dangerous and very short-sighted policy. Very liberal and accepting countries will start (or, conversely, have already started) feeling the effects of a foreign culture that has vastly different cultural norms and values and refuses to adapt.

Not highly unpopular everywhere, resistance is brewing and I don't think (or hope) the Merkel type of recent past will prevail. Wonder whether Europe will end up as an extension of the middle east one day (say 50-100 years) or start reverting to the previous status quo...
