History Main / Eurabia

** A popular GameMod callled ''VideoGame/RiseOfTheReds'' postulates that the GLA invasion actually reversed the trend of the Islamisation of Europe; the European Muslims were so utterly disgusted by the GLA's chain of war crimes that they denounced anything having to do with them and subsequently tried harder than ever to integrate and accept Western values, in an attempt to escape any potential stigma they could suffer from it. This is especially true in Germany with its large Turkish minority, as it's cited as a direct example. As far as the story goes, it worked out and Islamic extremism and the GLA come out severely weakened, if sadly not fully defeated (by the assumed 2040s, the GLA has a strong foothold in mid-Africa, but not much support elsewhere).

* ''[[VideoGame/EuropaUniversalis Europa Universalis IV]]'' has a decision to reform Andalusia if you conquer a large chunk of Iberia with either a Maghrebi nation or Granada. What's more, Granada has a unique achievement for forming Andalusia and conquering the entirety of Iberia. Given Granada is a VestigialEmpire (the last remanent of the Umayyad Caliphate) holding a mere four provinces, all menaced by much more powerful Christian kingdoms, this is easier said than done.

While the word itself was first used as a name for the newsletter of a Euro-Arab friendship committee in the 1970s, the concept underlying its modern usage was coined by Bat Ye'or in her 2005 book ''Eurabia: The Euro-Arab Axis'', which claimed that there was a conspiracy underway between France and the Arab world to allow Europe to become "Islamicized" as part of a plan to increase its power against the United States and Israel. Although Ye'or's theories have been derided by a lot of academics, and indeed a lot of the Europeans who fear this trope aren't exactly fond of Jews themselves, it has not stopped them from inspiring a number of works imagining the Islamic takeover of Europe.

* ''The Genie of Londonistan'' tells the story of a future where England has been taken over by Islamists and the protagonist is the victim of a terror attack whose consciousness has been transferred into the body of drive-by shooting victim.

* In the dystopian novel ''Literature/TheNotreDameDeParisMosque'' by Elena Chudinova, Muslims take over the Western Europe, impose Shariah law over it, and shut Europeans who did not convert to Islam into ghettoes.

* ''VideoGame/CommandAndConquerGenerals'': In the sequel, the totally-not Al-Qaeda GLA ([[HarsherInHindsight which is awful lot more comparable to ISIS]]) manages to get control over Western Europe (thanks in part to U.S. isolationism after having their weaponry stolen and used to destroy their own forces). It's China that drives them out.

** Parodied in an episode where Bart befriends a Muslim family, and Homer, who'd been watching too many episodes of ''Series/TwentyFour'', has a nightmare about Springfield becoming Islamicized, with the Genie from ''WesternAnimation/{{Aladdin}}'' transforming American things into stereotypical Muslim things (and turning all music into copies of Cat Stevens albums).

* The Islamic Europan Union in the FictionalEarth of Strangereal from ''VideoGame/AceCombat'' is inspired by this - [[https://i.imgur.com/frNyH.jpeg just look at it]]! The capital is Lutetia (Paris), and other settlements include Qurtuva and Andalus. (Despite this, there are also FantasyCounterpartCulture versions of Italy, Greece, and Scandinavia, and the region that ''would'' be Scandinavia is part of [[GloriousMotherRussia Yuktobania]].)

* Way back in TheFifties, ''Literature/TheChroniclesOfNarnia'' featured a constant state of tension between [[TheGoodKingdom Narnia]] and [[TheEmpire Calormen]]. Narnia is a MagicalLand patterned on Christian virtues and European folklore, while Calormen is a cruel and expansionist nation-state located in TheSavageSouth and [[ArabianNightsDays patterned on]] the ''Literature/ArabianNights'' stories. ''Literature/TheLastBattle'', Creator/CSLewis's final installment in the series, centres on a Calormene invasion of Narnia. In TheFifties, there was less anxiety than there is today about Muslim presence in Europe, so the Calormene threat draws more on the historical spectre of Moorish and Ottoman incursions into Europe centuries ago -- which makes sense, considering the series's MedievalEuropeanFantasy nature. Moreover, the polytheistic Calormene faith is closer to UsefulNotes/TheMiddleEast's [[Myth/MesopotamianMythology pre]]-[[Myth/CanaaniteMythology Abrahamic]] pantheons and to medieval misconceptions about Islam than to Islam itself. On the other hand, Lewis does sneak in a few jabs at politically correct multiculturalism, like when LesCollaborateurs insist that the Calormene god Tash and the Narnian god Aslan are one and the same.

Bear in mind that a lot of the mindset on this trope involves an Arab equals Muslim view, which ignores non-Muslim Arabs or non-Arab Muslims. Indeed, the only Islamic countries in Europe, located in the Balkans, aren't even Arab or Semitic and blend Islamic culture with their local European one. Or to put it in the terms of this very wiki, European Muslim nations are far more likely to resemble Ruritania than Qurac.

* This can happen in ''VideoGame/MedievalTotalWar''and ''VideoGame/EmpireTotalWar'' if you manage a Muslim faction, especially the Ottoman Empire.

** ''VideoGame/CrusaderKingsIII'' has a special Decision available for Iberian Muslims called "Avenge the Battle of Tours" which requires the player to not only conquer all of Iberia but also a large chunk of Southern Francia. Doing this even grants and achievement, appropriately called "Al-Andalus".

* ''Literature/TheMirage'' is an AlternateHistory variant. The Middle East and North Africa are unified into the United Arab States, which went on to become a major player in world history, while Europe and America are divided among third-world Christian nations.

[[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eurabia Eurabia]] (a portmanteau of "Europe" and "Arabia") is the name given to a hypothetical future scenario in which, thanks to a supposed declining birth rate among white Europeans and capitulation from politicians trying to appeal to immigrant communities, Europe becomes ruled by Muslims, who reshape the continent to resemble the Middle East (specifically either Saudi Arabia or Afghanistan), or at least the ThemeParkVersion [[{{Qurac}} of it]].
