The main difference is that Jews have a huge influence on both countries compared to Muslims. Here in my home state both of our two Senators are Jews, and when it comes to those who influence public opinion like other politicians, screen writers authors, newspaper editors and owners, etc...Jews are hugely over represented, an example being the author of the article linked to in the first thread, who is affiliated with largely pro-Israel think tanks and writes those sort of articles not to warn Christians about losing their culture, but to rile up Christians against enemies of Israel. Notice the phrase "Judeo-Christian" that he uses. Even in Britain leaders of Jewish background like Jack Straw and Michael Howard have much more power and influence than Muslim leaders, so I don't think that the real life influence that Muslims have on culture is quite as profound as is often cited, although I don't live there. If anything recent large scale Muslim demographic increases seem to provoke anti Muslim/third world reactions, like in Holland and many other European countries.
