I read the story about how Trump was wrong, but have also read how the local UK police say the government is just trying to cover it up, maybe just to be PC. Do you feel comfortable going into the areas of the article? I have an uncle in England, but he has never mentioned anything about Muslims making things difficult, but I don't talk to him much.

There is a story in Germany where the cops are being investigated for reporting the rapes, which the government was trying to cover up.
I agree the EU is in trouble for quite a while, but also wonder if the current migration problem hasn't made things get out of control quickly. Did you get a chance to watch that short video on Muslim demographics, and how they are growing compared to the fertility rates of native Europeans. Does that worry you at all? England for example has a 1.6 percent fertility rate of native Europeans, which is unsustainable especially with welfare programs, because you need at least 2.1 percent just to maintain population, and in order to support the elderly, you need to have people entering the workforce as they leave, but if you have more leaving than entering it all collapses. The fertility rate of Muslims outnumbers natives, in many EU countries, which means that by 2025 a majority. I'd be curious what you think of this:
I've seen those Muslim demographics videos before and I disregard anything that extrapolates an exponential curve. Exponential curves in the real world are just the beginning of a sigmoid function which saturates. Those videos about Muslim demographics don't take into account that the same factors that apply to the fecundity of the native population also soon apply to the immigrant population. Like the effect of education on the next generation or that there are all kinds of different races living here. Religion is on the decline in the UK. The demographic time bomb has been a long time in the making because of the baby boomers and the general solution here has always been to bring in immigrants from everywhere else, not just Muslim. Also to make the younger generation work for longer, i.e. by stopping funding to go to university, raising the age of retirement and robbing the pension funds.
I have also seen videos of Muslims being extreme, but you can just as easily point to the non Muslim right wing extremists, both are the equivalent of each and both are a minority.
There are absolutely no places in the UK that I'm afraid to go because of Muslims. Obviously there are dodgy places in general but there have always been those, and nor has that ever stopped me in the past. Right wing groups have caused problems by marching through Muslim areas or protesting and guess what happens ...
