I know that there are a lot of Mark Steyn supporters here. However, as much fun as Steyn seems he misses the big picture.

I disagree. It is not necessarily true that Steyn is being "illogical" by "ignoring" the concept of "separation". It may be that Steyn believes (as I do) that there is simply no such thing as "separation" in today's world. Many Muslims are already citizens of Western countries. Many more travel as tourists, students, businessmen, etc. Still others sneak across borders. It only takes a relative handfull to create havoc. The level of isolation necessary to achieve "separation" from the types of WMD that will likely be available to all wealthy people in a few decades' time is unattainable.

[Mark Steyn] has just published, in Canada’s Western Standard, his very first column dealing directly with immigration.

While not dealing exclusively with Islamic immigration, Mr. Steyn has previously covered the topic of immigration.

So, does this guy believe he can wave a magic wand and all the Muslims who are already in Canada will disappear?

Prayer works. (See Fatima/Russia, and the Virgin Mary). Load and lock, keep dems from office, and at the same time pray for the conversion of Muslims.

Mark Steyn is telling it like it is. He did not set out to tell anyone how it should be. His primary goal is to wake people up to reality - and not to pontificate about how to achieve a vision of utopia.

If you followed Mark Steyn at all with any degree of seriousness it would be very obvious to you that Mr. Steyn is no advocate of surrender. He stands on very solid ground.

It’s the author of this article who misses the point - By a country mile.

I highly recommend “America Alone.”
It’s an interesting and easy read...you can probably knock it out in a day!

Y'know, I've never had the same problem understanding Steyn's views that Lawrence Auster apparently has.

It follows that I don't understand what Auster's problem is.
