The Al-Quaeda (or Mexican nationalist) plan is a long game that has a track record of success.

In the US, formerly marginalized groups like Catholics (Irish/Italian/polish) and eastern european Jewish immigrant came to wield considerable power in the mid 20th century, owing largely to burgeoning numbers. The Catholics actively organized colleges, universities and fraternal organizations that brought young Catholics into the civil service ranks.

It certainly has worked in the past but it won't anymore as the homo sapiens nears obsolescence.

>>Mexican Nationalist

Huh? Care to explain how did Mexico come into the picture when talking about Al-Qaeda?

The parent believes there's parallels between the demography-driven expansion of radical Islamism in certain countries (I'm guessing in Europe, although he didn't specify) and and the demography-driven expansion of Mexican nationalism in the American Southwest.

I meant to remove it, it's a distraction. There are Mexican political groups who advocate for a similar policy to regain control of many western states, who they believe were unjustly ceded from Mexico.

These folks are very much in the fringe, and I shouldn't have mentioned it,
