It has been pointed out in recent years that the more secular a nation becomes, the lower the birthrate. Children are no longer viewed as a precious gift from God, but as an obligation or inconvenience. The birth control pill has become Western Europe’s suicide pill. Materialistic concerns take precedence over raising children. The implications for this for the future is that atheists/secularists will continue to decrease and religious populations will continue to increase. The growth of Islam is a prime example of this demographical trend. Unless the demographics suddenly change, Europe will become a Muslim nation.

Yup, that is it in a nutshell. We have made ourselves too comfortable. Things won’t change until that starts to change. I will say this: when Westerners fells threatened enough, watch out.
