Mark Steyn does not pull punches. In a world of self-effacing PC mumbo jumbo, this book isn't just a breath of fresh air -- it's an icy gale blowing from the Land of Common Sense. Icy, because the truth of what's happening in the world is chilling. Why have we forgotten that Islamic terrorists flew planes into our buildings and killed thousands of innocent Americans? These days we're all too busy apologizing for our existence and celebrating "multi-culturalism" to stand up to the threat of radical Muslims who are determined to exterminate us infidels.
The point of the book is basically that, by the time the world does wake up (if it does), there will be too few of left to do anything about the takeover of radical Islam. Europeans are reproducing at the average rate of 1.5 kids per couple, and their countries are shrinking. Meanwhile, Muslims are having 4.5 kids per couple. It doesn't take a math genius to figure out what's going to happen. America is barely at the sustainable rate of 2.1 kids per couple, but if we keep following the European trend we'll start to disappear as well. In its haste to abandon Christianity in favor of "post-Christian rationalism," Europe and many other liberals have, ironically, abandoned reason and common sense at the same time.
This is a good read, but sobering. Now get out there and have some kids so we don't enter into the second Dark Ages.
