This column is very well reasoned and written. It draws the bleak conclusion that the cultural mayhem will not be stopped. I am not prepared to accept that, but I am willing to engage in a thought experiment which assumes it.

Fast forward 200 years. The demographic nightmare has come to pass, the one predicted by the low birthrates among the descendents of Europeans. Islam is now the dominant religion throughout the world. But most Muslims have by now succumbed to the same aspects of modern life which felled the Christians: birth control, abortion, women preferring careers, couples marrying out of wedlock and having only one or two children if any. A civil war breaks out between the traditional and the modern Muslims.

That's as far as I can see ahead.

no because you forget the religious vigilante police. They have the power to unilaterally punish sacrilidge.

Perhaps in 200 years women will be forbiden from driving as an environmentally way of helping the environment and complying with islamic law.

Perhaps in 200 years the fashion industry will be introducing the newest headscarfs after approval of the department of moral authority.

Seniors who preach herasy will have their social security/gov. pension halted permanently as punishment.

You cant project a uniquly american attitude onto a future islam. You have to project a uniquly taliban/wahabist future.
