True, but the multicultural West is enabling its own suicide. Have you been to Canada or Europe recently ? Where there is a moral vacuum, Islam comes in and fills the gap which is why the last religious nation in the West, the USA is the last obstacle between freedom and tyranny.

I'm just finishing the last chapter, and I'm mostly depressed over the outlook. Granted, not everything in the book will come to pass, as unknown events always alter the course of history, but this book paints a rather difficult future, particularly in light of this week's elections.

Definitely a must read however...

"No one ideology, religious or political has ever dominated the worldwide population."

Until the last fifty years or so, no one has been able to travel across half the globe in less than one day. Until the last forty years or so, no one has been able to broadcast around the world in a few minutes. Until the last fifteen years or so, no message has ever been able to be sent instantaneously all over the globe, with the push of a button.

The world, and the technology to spread ideas around it, has changed.

I don't think it would have been possible to dominate the whole world, prior to the development of modern communications and travel. This is a two-edged sword, of course, because theoretically it would also make resistance more possible. We shall see, I guess.

No, I don't see Muslims moving in on the Chinese. So, they're safe.

There are many lacunae in this review of Steyn's book, the main one of which leads Warshawsky into defaming Steyn by calling him a liar. He says that Steyn's analysis is correct, but the solution to the problem is all out war against Islam, and that Steyn duplicitously denies that the book is a call for such a war.

I'll leave it to Steyn to defend himself against the defamation if he so choses.

He may be right in doubting that we have the gumption to resist being undermined, if indeed that's what's going on, but I doubt it (that we don't have enough gumption).

Check out Florida Congresswoman Ginny Brown-Waite's show of some mighty fine gumption with her slapdown of a Florida CAIR honcho's attempts to intimidate her. Her remarks are linked to in this story from Tampa. Thanks to lgf for this story.

Technological growth empowers those possessing will.

Just finished the book. I am ordering 10 copies to give to away and would encourage others to do the same. The West needs to return to Christianity. Where there is a spiritual void all manner of evil comes in (just look around) starting with a false religion that seeks to enslave its followers. Jesus came to set the captives free... Mohammad came to kill, steal and destroy. If we think it cannot happen here, we are only fooling ourselves.

[Sue Perkick]

It will. Probably sooner than we would like. But it's coming.

"Past performance is no guarantee of future results."

We've never had cars, Kalashnikovs, instant global communication, air travel or nuclear weapons before the last few generations, either.

The world has become a LOT smaller in the past 150 years. And even with the technologies of long ago, Genghis Khan ruled the biggest empire in history.

Ever hear of the Roman Empire? duh ...

In 1866 there was no dynamite.

In 1880, there were no airplaines

In 1941, there were no atomic bombs.

History moves onward. Nothing remains the same.
