My question is:
how would you conduct that war?
Remove citizenship of everyone who declares himself Muslim?
I don't think that would be really constitutionnal to ask someone to mandatorily specify his/her religion.
And besides that: who exactly are you all going to attack? I see the word war thrown often, but a war against who? which country? Where?
There is no solution.
Oh, there are solutions, but none of those solutions are pretty in the curent "Modern World" You'd need to look back at what Spain did hundreds of years ago to find the "Solution"
Thing is, the current modern world is crumbling bit by bit, especially in Europe, and if this keeps happening, no matter what people say is "right" or "wrong" some of those solutions will be acted upon anyway.
If I were Muslim, and lived in Europe right now, I would either
a)change my name
b)find some way to practice my religion in secret (Christians had to do this at some points in history I believe)
c)get out of Europe(or work towards that) and try to find a country that doesn't have much of a Problem with Muslim extremists, like Canada, or even NZ (Not Australia)
I really don't think this anti-musilm sentiment is going to end peacefully. Yes it would be nice if it did, but too many people are unwilling to:
1)assimilate to the culture of the country they just moved to - or at least not try to force their views on the natives of that country.
2)Give up their natives rights and expectations (free speech, application of Sharia law etc) in favor of the immigrants who demand this.
This is not going to end pretty, especially since the SJW's will, for a time - a very short time, defend the muslim population in their countries.
This is why MLK wanted to preach Non-Violence during the civil rights movement, its not much of a comparison since there's a LOT of differences between the black population of jim-crow era U.S. and the Muslim populations of current - day Europe.
The blacks of that era would be justified in their violence, but that would make it ten times worse, as the retaliation would have been swift and brutal
The muslim population, or rather those who resort to violence and claim to speak for all muslims, while the muslim population of these countries are pretty much doing nothing to stop this, really are not justifiable in the eyes of the native populations(already mentioned why). In fact, retaliation against muslim communities and populations probably seems justifiable to MANY members of the native populations of these countries, even if they say otherwise in public.
This is the real danger. I don't see any forseable "peaceful" solution to these problems going forward. Especially given out not so glorious history. So yes it might be nice to try to challenge people on the forums by asking the "tough" questions to which the answers you KNOW are answers that these same members won't admit to. It's another thing entirely to expect the native populations of the countries that have these issues to be challenged like that. . .
Most people are stupid and simply act on emotion, enough of that spreads and you have a lot of trouble on your hands. The members of RvF are different from the masses of people that deal with this situation, and those "tough questions" daily. RvF members pretty much have to be "In the world, but not OF the world"
The only way I see this calming down is for a rapid and radical change in the muslim communities along with immediate action by the communites to "avenge the killed people by exacting that vengeance on the murderers. . .AND their families! Yes it's definitely not pretty, but again France/Europe isn't full of RvFers. They'd basically have to act extremely uncivilized to calm the anger that is definitely brewing. (of course I don't see this happening, obviously but yeah.)

Europe fatally weakened itself in the 19th and 20th centuries, and left itself helpless in the face of a militant, disciplined, foreign religion (Islam). I say this with no hostility towards Islam. I have studied its language for many years and have deep respect for its traditions.
I see what you're getting at but I would say that after the Depression, Europe was in a similar position, and they pulled it together in scary ways, I think Europe is as weak as you say but just as weak as they were back before ww2
