Steyn: Biggest Story of Our Time
Like Mark Steyn, I'm rapidly becoming a full-time demography bore. (Not so much over here as in 'real life'.) But this is the greatest story of our time, and hardly anybody is paying attention. And before solving a problem it is necessary to understand it. Let's try to think along with Steyn: Biggest story of our time: our self-extinction
Suppose for a moment that the birth in Bethlehem that Christians celebrate this week never happened --that it is, as the secularists would have it, mere mumbo jumbo, superstition, a myth. In other words, consider it not as an event but as a narrative. You want to launch a big new global movement from scratch. So what do you use?The birth of a child.
If Christianity is just a myth, then it is, so to speak, an immaculately conceived one. On the one hand, what could be more powerless than a newborn babe? On the other, without a newborn babe, man is ultimately powerless. For, without new life, there can be no civilization, no society, no nothing.[...]

Steyn's book was incredibly depressing and has forced me to re-evaluate my entire world view.
Gender equality and human freedom have been the primary strengths of the West, or at least this is what I've believed most of my life. But these are precisely the means we have employed to foster our civilizational suicide. One can try to blame the demographic crises on loss of faith, materialism and hedonism....but aren't these all facets of free choice?
I simply don't know what the answer is. While the West ossifies, Islam remains fertile and robust. Can anyone offer a solution that isn't predicated upon wishful thinking?

Has Western mankind become a modern day Neanderthal, doomed to extinction because of a more procreative, more aggressive, more persistent Islam? Will "The Last Infidel" be as much a mystery to future inhabitants as "The Last Neanderthal"?
