The future of the Western Hemisphere lies in the hands of the New World, not Old Europe, whose inevitable fate is to become Eurabia.

Absolutely.

Inevitable?

How so?

Perhaps 6.5% of the population of the Republic are of Muslim origin (which is not the same thing as being Muslim).

Of them, most are born in France. They are French. And most are only of Muslim origin, and vaguely Muslim. They are secular with Muslim traditions, just as many millions more French are secular with Christian traditions. There are almost as many blacks in France as people of Muslim origin, and the blacks are mostly Catholic in origin, and are growing at the same rate as those of Muslim origin.

France's population is expected to grow from approximately 59 million to approximately 75 million by 2025. Of this 16 million people, perhaps a fifth will be immigrants from other European countries and their children. The other 80% will be blacks from the DOM and Africa, or people of Muslim origin. People of Muslim origin will constitute only 40% of the growth of 16 million, which means 6.4 million, increasing the share of the population of this origin from perhaps 7.5% to perhaps 15%. The blacks will grow by the same numbers, however. And most of these people of Muslim origin will be secular and French by culture, not Islamist fanatics.

Already, the population of the United States is 11% black and 13% Hispanic, and this will increase much more rapidly than the percentage of people of Muslim origin in France.

And yet no-one speaks of America becoming Mexico Norte.

There will be more Muslims in France, to be sure, but there will even more secular people of Muslim origin in France. And they will not be interested in creating Eurabia.
