The Ultimate Goal of Tolerance: Self Extinction?

From Lawrence Auster's View from the Right, a commenter posits this gem:

Is the Islamic takeover of Europe inevitable?

In the end, I think things are going to get much, much worse before they get better, precisely because liberals refuse to accept the most common sense limitations on the principle of tolerance. They risk discrediting tolerance altogether by making it synonymous with self-extinction. An outpouring of hatred and violence is almost certain to erupt at some stage, since nowhere do people gladly suffer replacement of their own people civilization by that of others. A tipping point must eventually be reached, and when it does, the reaction could be spasmodic and bloody. This can easily be avoided, but liberals are determined to see this suicidal path through to the bitter end, such is their devotion to a program which I think even they suspect is daily darkening the future of mankind.

I'd not considered the end game that comes part and parcel with today's politically-correct definition of the word tolerance. While I have to ponder it a bit, my initial thought is that this is probably true. While the post thread from which this comes is in regard to the Islamification of Europe, I think it equally applicable to the United States.
