We're the ones who will change you," the Norwegian imam Mullah Krekar told the Oslo newspaper Dagbladet in 2006. "Just look at the development within Europe, where the number of Muslims is expanding like mosquitoes. Every Western woman in the EU is producing an average of 1.4 children. Every Muslim woman in the same countries is producing 3.5 children." As he summed it up: "Our way of thinking will prove more powerful than yours."

that isn't a pleasant thought

Ladies and Gentlemen, the finest essayist writing in the English language today, and the intellectual heir of the last, George Orwell. Only Victor Hanson comes close, in my opinion.

Wait until Europe, Russia and Japan decide the way out of this mess is to practice human cloning. (As if technology will save us from folly.) Once human cloning begins -- and people are manufactured expressly to maintain the welfare state -- then the totalitarians' wildest dreams will be fulfilled. And it will be done in the name of "saving" civilization. I rant.

What a great analogy!

Best dust off the DDT to eradicate not only disease in Africa, but the growing number of muslims in America.

BUMP! I still think this problem can be turned around, but only by Westerners having more children. Although the example of Japan (as he says, nearly perfect lab conditions) is not encouraging.

This could be a problem because this article makes me not want to put more children into an ugly society.

Liberal Socialists have been attacking Western institutions of family, corporations, church, education, and government for the better part of a century.

This fifth column will lead to our eventual downfall.

Add to it defense of illegal invasion of immigrants to "replace" the 50 million people abortion has kept out of the American population.

Our country will not remain our own. Immigrants come here from nations where socialism and anarchism are not dirty words. Our Constitution is just another document written by old dead white males.

We face a primary attack from an Islamic supremacist movement that is seeking to expand the Islamic empire (and yes there IS a notion of "Islamic territory"). It is a political system as well as a religion. It IS the theocracy that the lying left insists George W. Bush "represents" with all of his "God talk". We are not the first generation to face a militant threat from Islamic supremacists. That war has waged for centuries.

The secondary attack from liberal socialists could weaken our resolve enough to permit the primary enemy to gain a foothold in the West.

It isn't every muslim who is a jihadist but far too few speak out against the "holy war" and on behalf of the rights of non-muslims.

Japan seems to be going the way of robots, rather than human replacements. Russia usually sticks to primarily mechanical technology.

However, Japan is supposedly trying to develop a birthing container. If successful, it could lead to the end of all abortions.

Nice choices. Brave New World, or a return to the 14th century.

So we need to produce 3.5 rounds to their 1.4.

That is exactly the thinking that has doomed Europe.

What's the birthing container? Like an artificial womb?

But why would Japan import, if it can just manufacture the welfare state slaves it needs?

... but only by Westerners having more children..

But the cultural and economics don't encourage that. Therefore it will not happen.

"Therefore it will not happen."

I must borrow a concept from Lenin and say that things must get worse before they get better. I cannot say for sure that will happen, but it will not surprise me if it does. Only time will tell.
