Well, I won't speak for Sandwich, but I at least didn't interpret it as any sort of conspiracy. It simple: immigrants generally go wherever the living conditions are best, which happens to be Western Europe, Canada and the like. As time passes, demographics begin to change, and certain ethnic groups begin to make up significant portions of the population. It's like Chinatown or Little Italy on a national level.
kara: It's a matter of interpretation. I would likewise agree with anyone who claimed that Mexicans are taking over the southern states in the US, though there is no grand plan (that I'm aware of) among Mexican immigrants to capture US territory or anything of that sort (though that would actually be kind of cool). It's just demographics, which are in fact no small matter when tracked over decades or centuries. Obviously, I didn't mean that there is any sort of consipiracy, just that for whatever reason Muslims are a significant minority in certain European countries, including Britain, and that, as far as I can see, is unlikey to change. In fact, it will likely increase, unless conditions change for the worse in Britain or for the better in the home countries of the immigrants.
