What links the EU and fundamentalist Islam?

What links the EU and fundamentalist Islam? No, not a distaste for democracy or that both are loved almost unconditionally by the BBC, but the political philiosophy of never giving up power or territory.

The EU - per yesterday's Telegraph:

'Once the EU acquires a power or competence, that takes on the force or mortmain. It must never be relinquished... The ECJ (European Court of Justice) behaves as if the small print of the law does not matter; anything that advances the cause of Europe is legal.'

Islam - per L Dolphin (but I have read similar elsewhere):

'Under Islam, land once possessed by Islam, if subsequently lost to an invader, remains land that is holy to Islam. It is especially imperative that such lost lands be restored to the rightful rule of Islam. Historically, of course, such lost lands now lost to Islam include not only Israel but large portions of Southern Europe, Spain and North Africa. Since Allah's will is for the entire world to come under subjection to the rule of Islam, Muslims are known for their zeal in spreading their religion, whether by peaceful means or by the sword.'

Can anyone think of other similarities between the EU and  fundamentalist Islam?
