Hopefully this isn’t too late. In Europe the mosques are packed and miniarets dot the skylines of major cities. Meanwhile the great cathedrals are mostly empty except for the tourists.

Many native Europeans are militanty secular and regard marriage and children as burdensome. While the Islamic population is booming in Europe, the native population is ageing and in sharp decline. It is not unusual for most European families to have more grandparents than grandchildren these days.

This is what socialism and secularism do to a civilization. With BHO at the helm and the Democrats with overwhelming majorities in Congress, the US isn’t far behind. This appears to be our fate as well unless we can reverse course ASAP.

That could describe parts of the US, as well. Growing up in Queens NY, our Catholic Church was packed to capacity (no a/c in summer, no microphone for the priest) and local police directed traffic after Mass. I have moved upstate NY. In the RC Diocese of Albany, the "progressive" bishop is shutting down churches and schools. Meanwhile, just up the road, a 4 minaret mosque is under construction and a local non-denominational evangelical church has taken over an entire strip mall. Many of the members of his congregation are former Catholics, angry with the bishop for closing their churches.
