You realize that many of the Muslims in Europe are black right? If you don’t see any black immigrants in Europe in the big cities then you are full of it. They are everywhere in the prime tourist areas.
I spent 2 weeks in Italy in the summer of 2024. Was in Rome, Naples, Florence and many points in between.
I don't recall seeing any black people at all. Not that I was looking for any particularly, but if there had been hordes of them, I would have remembered.
London is a different story. I was there for a week in the summer of 2017. The flat we rented was actually in an Arabic part of town, just north of Marble Arch. That was actually really cool. All the old men sitting on the sidewalks smoking their hookahs. No one gave us any trouble. In fact, when I walked across the street to buy some gyro sandwiches, the line was very long, but some guy outside, when he found out I was American, escorted me to the front of the line. Everyone wanted to know if I voted for Trump, LOL.

You guys do realize that large portions of Spain were under the control of Muslims for hundreds of years, right?
There are descendants of those occupiers still living there. They were born there.

Most Americans don’t know how to behave in foreign countries.
The reminds me of when I was in Naples a couple of years ago. I was trying to find a particular shop, but couldn't make sense of the directions I was given.
So I stopped in another shop and asked one of the workers if he spoke English. He says yes, so I started to explain my predicament, but he quickly stopped me. He said "Slow down, slow down. You're not in America." I laughed.

True, but the Reconquista drove them out then King Philip expelled the Moors from the country. So the influence on architecture etc is still there but the actual number of Muslims was very low until the last 50 years or so.
Despite being very close to N Africa, Spain did it right hundreds of years ago. Now the woke generation is letting them back in and they are on the same path as England and France.
