Turkey joining EU may lead to the ‘Islamisation of Europe’

FIANNA FÁIL TD Sean Haughey drew criticism from Islamic and refugee groups last night for suggesting the go-ahead for the accession of Turkey to the EU could lead to the “Islamisation of Europe”.

The European Commission is expected to formally indicate today that Turkey has reformed enough for membership negotiations to begin.

However, there has been considerable opposition to the move from some political quarters in Europe with outgoing Internal Market Commissioner Frits Bolkestein recently saying Europe would be “Islamised” because of demographic and migration changes.
