Pass. You will live under the sort of government that Saudi Arabia can create, at least for a while, but you will pray for death the whole time. @ John Samford:

They don't. An accurate headline for this piece would be "Hanson Hits Word-Count, Cashes Paycheck."

If Islam does a better job of providing for it's members, it should replace Western Civilization. In a clash of civilizations, the better one will ALWAYS survive. That survival is what makes it better. Not the clever toys, greater wealth, superior skill at war or higher forms of art. Survival is what counts. I think Islam is a dead end for humanity but it will be the civilization that supplants the other that is the 'better' civilization. We won't know what 'better' is until after one civilization is gone. Jay, what is wrong with that? If Islam does a better job of providing for it’s members, it should replace Western Civilization.

Many European countries are increasingly muslim. With the exception of the UK, the EU is ripe for the slow acculturation by islam. Don’t forget the dhimmitude.
