Steyn should also do a rethink on the concepts of "universalism" while he is at it. He and his "liberal"
cohorts think about the same line, and that is the radical egalitarian concept of man is the same everywhere.

What????

Are you smokling something that should be (and probably is) banned?

"Universalism"? Where, please, tell me where Mr. Steyn's reasoning had any all-encompassing,touchy-feely ideology that was mentioned, alluded to or even implied, in this article? Other than advancing the concept of the Anglosphere, I can hardly remember Mr. Steyn putting forward anything that could be considered "universal".

"Radical egalitarian concept of man"? Did you copy that from your sociology textbook? Are you repeating something your hippie professor told you? If you're referring to the concept (created and advanced by many of the European societies that are now dying because of it) that inside "every Arab, Bushman and Coolie is an Englishman (or Frog or German) just dying to get out", you're seriously mistaken. Mark Steyn has never taken those kinds of positions, that I'm aware of atall.

The concept of the "Noble Savage" died a grisly death many centuries ago. That it is still taught in Western universities has more to do with wishful thinking and a sense of the romantic than it does with actual history. Or reality.

The question Steyn asked, in a nutshell: are you, Westerners, prepared to defend your culture against a force virulently inimical to it, or, are you going to continue to kow-tow to it? He's simply outlined one of the prinicpal facts in this battle: you're (Westerners) outnumbered, so you'd better think of something else. The current plan (cultural retreat) is a loser.

I'd hardly call that "Universalism" or "radical egalitarian" anything.
