As for the gals, I was startled in successive weeks to hear from both Dutch and English acquaintances that they’ve begun going out “covered”. The Dutch lady lives in a rough part of Amsterdam and says, when you’re on the street in Islamic garb, the Muslim men smile at you respectfully instead of jeering at you as an infidel whore.

My very wise mom long ago pointed out that "the pendulum swings." The free-love sexual "revolution" that began in the 60s, she says, swung the pendulum to the extreme of sexual promiscuity. It's created a world today in which it is deemed "normal" for people to have sex before marriage as well as live together (and even have kids) without the benefit of matrimony (I always called it "playing house"). My mom's prediction has for years been that such promiscuity will inevitably, eventually result in a polar opposite of extreme sexual repression. How that "pendulum swing" would manifest itself she has not ventured to say, only that it will surely happen. Maybe this piece from the excellent Steyn hints at the way the pendulum swing will exhibit itself in society?

I personally believe Europeans and American liberals will turn pro-family and moralist at least on social issues, but rather than to the Christian or traditionlist Chsistendom directions, it will be towards Islamism motions.

We can easily envision something like this: In 2035 the British Parliament passes the Third Reading of Alcohols Act which bans productions and consumptions of all alcohol acts, while the US Senator Dr Abdul Aziz (D-MI) has called for his Democratic colleagues to ban abortions altogether, and the French National Assembly has passed laws proposed by President Mohammad al-Sahr banning sales and possessions of pornography and pre-marital sexual acts.

Already has. In my day we had "Charlie's Angels" and "Wonder Woman" and all kinds of feasts for the male eye on television. They wouldn't put shows like that on now.

Have you seen all the articles telling women to dress more frowsily and less provocatively in the workplace? Or that hillarious article about Muslim swimwear for women? They lok like they are wearing baggy plastic spacesuits. We are heading there rapidly.
