Nonsense. Islam is not dying. It is as virulent as ever.
What's your argument for it? It only grows because of birth rates. High birth rates has to do with an agrarian economy. These countries are on the other side of the demographic transition. When these economies have shifted to an industrial economy the growth of Islam will stop. And start shrinking. The African economy is exploding now. So it won't be long.

It doesn't work in the modern world, yes, which is why it always fights against the modern world.
Who the fuck is "it"? A religion is just a schema to understand and make sense of the world. Mostly emotionally. While a religion can be retained long after it's stopped being functional. There is a point where it breaks down. It has to be, in some sense, useful. If it isn't, it will go. That's why Christianity died. It has died many times. And been reborn as something else.
Christianity and Islam are extremely similar religions. So if it happened to one, we can be confident it'll happen to the other. The difference just lies in the fact that industrialisation first happened in England.
Complacency would be lethal.We can chill the fuck out
Sure, some people integrate well. But many others don't. Which is why it is important to be selective as to who you let immigrate and it is also important to be able to deport people who commit serious crimes and/or radicalize themselves. Which is the exact opposite of what EU is doing. EU takes in all migrants that show up at the border (or even 12 miles off the shores of Africa) and it is virtually impossible to get any significant numbers of them deported.
Take the Westminster terrorist from this morning. He is a Sudanese migrant who was given UK citizenship for some reason. Didn't anybody vet him? And of course >100,000 Africans are coming in across the Mediterranean every year with no selection or checks. How many of them have the same ideology as this Sudanese man?
Meh... we have time on our side. I think what you mean with people who integrate less well, is that they integrate less well now, but will later. I actually don't think religion has anything to do with this. It's simply an education gap. Sudan is one of the world's most backward countries, while England is a peak modern economy. No, shit integrating into the English economy didn't go so well for him. That can lead people to being very angry.
I think focusing on the religion is a red herring. Fuck religion. Look at the education levels of those coming. That's all that matters. A frustrated uneducated man with zero prospects is going to become angry and blame something. His religion is simply the brand of gasoline he'll throw on the fire. It's still gasoline.
If we take in uneducated people we need a plan to deal with it. Right now we don't have that. As our societies get increasingly technological, this will be more of a problem. Just wait until the robot revolution has reach peak. People need jobs, or a sense of purpose, to feel they have a sense of worth. It's an important thing, to both immigrants and natives. If they don't have this, bad things happen.
