Shortly before I left on vacation, an author I hear from now and again emailed me to “put down whatever you are reading and pick up Mark Steyn’s new book. I mean it. Now.” I ordered it, and finally got to read it while in Mexico.
Steyn is a treasure. He is clear-eyed, funny, and perceptive. And he has written what may be one of the most important books of our age. I’ve felt like part of a tiny minority who recognize that there is no “Iraq war”, but rather a regional conflict.
I was wrong. Steyn tickles with a feather in one hand, and slams with a sledgehammer in the other. It’s a world war, and nothing less than “the world as we know it” is at stake.
And right now we’re losing. Big time.
Europe is dead. Within a generation there will be no Europe as we know it. (I plan to take my daughter to Italy within the next 5 years, because the art in Florence will not survive Sharia “law”.) Why? Because Europe’s Western population is shrinking, now past the point of no return, and Islam is breeding like bacteria in mayonnaise.
In fact, while reading the book I was struck by the supreme irony: Evolution is selecting for religiosity. Right before our eyes.
America Alone is a doom-and-gloom book with a silver lining. Steyn sees a way out of this mess. I won’t spoil it.
Read the book. Now. I’m not kidding.
