will the european union save western civilization in europe?

The EU is developing as a major geographical region, but geography may not be enough to distinguish Western civilization from, say, Islamic civilization - particularly when Islam is fast becoming a major religion in Europe and the largely Islamic non-European nation of Turkey is in the process of joining the Union.

Far from saving Western civilization, the EU may, in fact, be in the process of creating a new civilization; or, more likely, it is in the process of becoming absorbed into the Islamic civilization in much the same way as Australia is in the process of becoming absorbed into the Chinese civilization.

Drop someone in the middle of Paris or London and they wouldn't know where they were - Baghdad, Cairo or Beirut; but drop someone in the middle of Tokyo and there would be no doubt of the location.

France is one western nation that is doing something tangible to protect its western culture; but, like the Maginot Line, the steps it is taking to protect itself are far too late and are doomed to failure.

Furthermore, for a nation like France which is politically secular but essentially Christian to prohibit all appearance of religious dress or icons in public school children - Islamic, Jewish and Christian - is as ridiculous as India forbidding sacred cows in the street in deference to the growing number of Indians who eat beef.

Hinduism and sacred cows distinguish India from other cultures. Similarly, Christianity distinguishes France from India, and if Christianity is no longer a distinguishing feature of French western civilization then what is? Surely not the Eiffel Tower!

How can the EU save western civilization in Europe when western civilization no longer exists in a racially and culturally pure form?

Bearing in mind that the EU was never set up to protect western civilization, it should come as no surprise that it has shown little interest in preserving it.
