Immigration, Islam and the Demographic Challenge in Western Democracies | Fair Observer Exclusive

Описание: Immigration, Islam and the Demographic Challenge in Western Democracies | Fair Observer Exclusive

Immigration is rapidly becoming the most divisive political issue shaping democracies across the world. In this FO° Exclusive, Fair Observer’s Founder, CEO and Editor-in-chief Atul Singh speaks to Former CIA Officer and Senior Partner, FOI, Glenn Carle. The discussion examines how rising immigration is straining social cohesion, fueling far-right movements and testing the foundations of liberal democracy in Europe and the United States. Drawing on demographic data from the US, UK, France, Germany and the Netherlands, the conversation explores why aging populations need immigrants even as cultural, religious and political tensions intensify.
The episode also analyzes how immigration intersects with Islam, secularism and identity politics, creating narrative wars between Islamism and Islamophobia. As economic pressures grow and democratic institutions weaken, immigration has emerged as a catalyst for political polarization, social unrest and electoral upheaval. From historical parallels to contemporary crises, this discussion offers a sobering look at why immigration may define the future stability—or fragmentation—of Western democracies in the years ahead.
