You might want to read up on the battle of Tours and both battles of Vienna 1527 I believe and 1683.  It was very much an existential threat.

That could be, but I was talking about the present.   I don't see Islam as an existential threat to Canada or the States, or even Europe and Britain.    Yes, there have been some terrorist attacks in the West, but they are confining their most deadly activity to the Middle East.  People who leave the region to go to Europe or to come to North America are trying to escape war; they are not invading or waging war.    Countries who are waging war start out with military personnel, not immigrants and refugees. 

If in 10 years they've combined forces in the Middle East and started over-running nearby countries, in the manner Russia is doing right now, I'd call that a threat.   I might even call it an existential threat if it looked like they were going to succeed in Europe, and turn their attention to North America.

By keeping a lid on nutbars whatever colour or mindset they have to be makes the world a better place.

Most are fleeing a war zone and some terrorists embed themselves with the refugees for safe passage, apparently there was a gestapo agent found in the 1939 boat that got turned away.

The key with countries is to keep them as weak as possible and the USA is quite efficient at it.
