Nonetheless, the Prime Minister of Canada thought this was an excellent opportunity to demonstrate his deep personal commitment to ‘diversity’. Asked about the Khadrs’ return to Toronto, he said, ‘I believe that once you are a Canadian citizen, you have the right to your own views and to disagree.’

Unless you are a Christian believer in the Bible...

Can a society become increasingly Islamic in its demographic character without becoming increasingly Islamic in its political character?

No. One of the two must bend. In a country such as Indonesia it's Islam that had to bend. In the middle east, not so.

Demographics isn't necessarily history, but when it implies a fading native population and a growing migratory one, then things start to look inevitable. Europe has been here before, right around the time that Rome's citizens stopped breeding and their Gothic cousins did not.

So Mrs Khadr and her boy have now returned to Canada so he can enjoy the benefits of Ontario healthcare. ‘I’m Canadian, and I’m not begging for my rights,’ she declared. ‘I’m demanding my rights.’

Was there no basis to throw these two terrorists in jail?

An outstanding summary, replete with imagery, fact, and reason, one of Steyn's best.

But al-Qa’eda’s end — the Islamification of the West — is shared by millions of law-abiding Muslims. Only a tiny minority are prepared to go out and blow up trains to that end, but they move among communities that are broadly supportive of the goal.

Steyn raises a sobering point....One recent example comes to mind: ~~~Mosques are winning the "right" to broadcast "Allah is great" across the fruited plains of America five times a day.

What will London — or Paris, or Amsterdam (for she is after all a citizen of the European Union) — be like in the mid-Thirties?

Unknowable, since between now and then there will be a civil war in the "European Union." It may be used as an excuse to practice genocide against the Islamics, or they may use it as an excuse to seize power. Or, they may all just wipe each other out. We'll see.

The other day, Sheikh Omar Bakri Muhammad told Lisbon’s Publica magazine that a group of London Islamists are ‘ready to launch a big operation’ on British soil. ‘We don’t make a distinction between civilians and non-civilians, innocents and non-innocents,’ he said, clarifying the ground rules. ‘Only between Muslims and unbelievers. And the life of an unbeliever has no value.’

They don't even try to hide this fact. Why, oh, why do people still pretend we need to be sensitive in our approach?

I always bump for Steyn.
