The same process is being repeated in the US. The Democratic Party is in the midst of becoming a Social Democratic party. If it succeeds in its agenda, America will suffer the same fate as Europe.

Those who choose socialism, choose death.

Regarding Lem’s comments on demographics, the birth rate in the Islamic world is about seven times that of Europe, Japan and the US if I remember my facts correctly. (It is a huge number regardless.) There was an editorial in the Wall Street Journal about this. It’s bad news long-term. Even the Russians are worried that 50% of the population will be Muslim by 2050 at current birth rates.

Peter’s idea that America import Europe’s Islamic problem shows an incredible ability for critical thought.

There are about 8 million Muslims in the US today. Maybe many object to the idea of a Caliphate and a worldwide Isalmic theocracy. I bet that if pressed, most would say that would be the ideal world order. You certainly do not hear much in the way of objections to the end goals (much less the means being employed). What would happen if 8 million people all of a sudden became “disruptive”?

Meanwhile, Ahmadinejad will smugly make his pronouncements because he knows there are few with the guts to stand up to him. Bush will and this is one of his redeeming qualities.

Now if I, Ahmadinejad, can only figure out to get my hands on Iraq and it’s oil, I can more effectively threaten and manipulate the West economically!

Certainly the replacement of native Europeans, and their culture, will be less dramatic than the type of warfare predicted by either Steyn or Peters, but gradual and smooth, with as few bumps and potholes as necessary for the new majorities.

The most sensible path would be simple marginalization of the originals; control of local institutions, neighborhoods, courts, the EU military (which would be the greatest threat to the cuckoos), media, and an exploitative presence in the bureaucracies of Brussells and so forth. Just allow the old inhabitants to die off, gradually reducing their influence and benefits to hasten the process.

Anyone who thinks that there aren’t long-term plans for this process is simply naive.

“The native European population is split three ways: some will leave, as the Dutch (and certain French) are already doing; some will shrug and go along with the Islamization of the continent, as the ever-accelerating number of conversions suggests; and so the ones left to embrace Fascism will be a minority of an aging population. It will be bloody and messy, as I write in America Alone, but it will not alter the final outcome. If you don’t breed, you can’t influence the future. And furthermore a disinclination to breed is a good sign you don’t care much about the future. That’s why the Spaniards, who fought a brutal bloody civil war for their country in the 1930s, folded instantly after those Madrid bombings. When you’ve demographically checked out of the future, why fight for it?”

Steyn is right, as usual.
