Steyn pains a grim picture.I am paying attention..It would seem that most people in Europe are not concerned.Canada's political correctness is dangerous.

This writer is so outstanding, so consistently excellent, so prolificly tremendous. Even when he writes what is really a depressing article I love it.

canada's political correctness is bred in the bone. They are smug, self-righteous, pious and pretentious - have I left anything out? And I cannot wait to see them flattened.

I would not wish that on our neighbors to the North.We have friends up there who are aware and and not anti Anerican.I've even seen excellent articles in the last month out of the North..It is true the air of superiority is grating.

but why bother

While it's obvious that Europe is embracing its own fall, and is therefore getting no more than it deserves, by the point that happens, the Islamofascists will be the dominant power in the Middle East, Africa, Asia, and Europe. Not even the Americas will be compeltely safe, with Canada falling down the same decline.

I'd say that is a threat that needs to be countered before it comes to fruition.

In 30 years’ time, either the Arab lady will still be there, or the condom store, but not both. Which would you bet on?

A thought-provoking and graphic metaphor, but I think an unfortunate one. Hopefully, we in the west are fighting for a lot more than condom stores. If not, we are destined to fail.

"I'd say that is a threat that needs to be countered before it comes to fruition."

Up to a certain point, I agree with you ... however, you cannot save someone (especially a "someone" that's as big as Europe) from themselves or the consequences of their actions.

Besides which, by the time that it does come to fruition, carpet-bombing might again be a viable option.
