**America Alone takes the two most important global trends - falling fertility and surging Islamism.**

It all depends on whether there is hope that there will be enough brave people to combat Islamofascism and the accompanying slurry of evils. If not, then there is absolutely no reason why I should have children. It would be better for them to never receive the spark of life then for them to breath and wander without joy or stimulation, with tomorrow promising only that the spark will be extinguished in every undignified manner.
I don't know if there is a sufficient number of brave people to fight the great evils. However, it appears as though the coming times will be the climax of our long-lasting age of darkness and hopelessness. It is not very tempting for me to birth people against their will so that they may only join the rampaging cog of war. In deciding whether or not to have children, I appear to have two choices: bleakness for one or bleakness for a few more. Until evidence of the changing tide is revealed to me, the choice is clear, I will remain celibate. What will you do?

I will remain celibate. What will you do?

Interesting point of view. Have you read Steyn's book? He makes the point that a culture and a society composed of individuals without the will or the spirit to procreate deserves to perish.
