So this is how Europe would look like if suddenly dominating nation would disappear from that country and second most populous nation would become dominant. Very interesting

I have no idea what any of those symbols are or what colors represent what country.

You guys do not know National flags? For example UK turns into India, Germany into Turkey, France into Algeria, Ireland into Poland, Greece into Albania, Belgium into Morocco and so on...
 
It seems to me that the map shows the nationality of each European country's largest minority.
 
What I think is happening is if you take the majority nationality out of each country and made that country the territory of the 2nd largest nationality this who they would all be. It's a way to highlight muslim immigration mostly.

No, it's just a map of dominant minorities of countries. Many Muslim populations live there for centuries.

You are certainly correct that Muslims have a long history of being in Europe. Still doesn't change my opinion of why people will use this map. It will be used to highlight Muslims and Muslim immigration into Europe by those against that immigration.

How about Polish immigration to Norway, Ireland and Iceland? I don't think that was the point of this map even if it could look like Turks are overtaking Germany, Denmark, Netherlands and Austria.
 
I am actually mostly surprised about Romanians being second largest minority in Italy and Spain. I expected it in Hungary and Moldova but not there...

Are there protests against polish immigration like there is Islamic immigration? Is there the same level of culture clash? If so than it is certainly news to me as I have yet to hear anti polish rants.

I am not accusing you of anything but that is why people will use this map.

Not that I know about. Maybe Poles are better at assimilating?

For starters they are white and catholic for the most part, they already share a whole bunch of cultural norms with the rest of Europe. My girlfriend is from a polish background, she looks more Aussie than I do.

That's exactly what it is. It also gives you the false impression that people from muslim-majority Nations are a much bigger share of the immigrants than they actually are.

Interesting, how do typical Aussie women look like? Aren't Aussies a mix of different ethnicities and do not really have a typical look?
Here are some ladies from Aussie rugby team, which one is most representative???
