August 10, 2017 (LifeSiteNews) -- Historian Arnold Toynbee once famously said that “civilizations die from suicide, not by murder.”
Using this as a springboard, commentator Mark Steyn shows in a new video how Western Europe is already in the death throes of “demographic suicide” because couples are no longer having enough children. He then shows how a thriving Muslim population in Western Europe is well on its way to filling all the empty space.
Steyn explained how given the divergent birth rate between Muslims and post-Christian secularists, it will take only two generations for the current Muslim population (sitting at about 10-percent) to have as many grandchildren as post-Christian secularists (who currently make up the other 90 percent). This is due, he said, to Muslims having on average 3.5 children per couple compared to post-Christian secularists who have only 1.3 children per couple.
“People think this is a slow process…It happens very fast. The catching up is well under way,” he said.
Steyn said that the takeover of Western Europe by Muslims is “not a prediction.” He noted that some elementary schools, such as in Antwerp, Belgium, already have a majority of Muslim students.
“Nobody is predicting anything. We’re talking about who are the kids in the grade school right now, which means they are going to be the guys entering the workforce in fifteen years time,” he said.
“That’s not a prediction. We’re not looking at trends. We’re looking at the actual warm bodies sitting in the elementary classes now,” he added.
Steyn quoted statistics from the Vienna Institute of Demography which he said predict that by mid-century a majority of Austrians under the age of 15 will be Muslim.
“This was a country that not so long ago was 90 percent Catholic,” he said.
Steyn said that some of his American followers might remember Austria as the setting for the film Sound of Music about a large family that fled the country in 1938 in the face of a Nazi takeover. Steyn said that by 2038, Austrians will no longer be singing “how do you solve a problem like Maria,” but “how do you solve a problem like Sharia.”
“This is the biggest story of our time, and yet hardly anyone ever writes about it,” he said.
“This is the biggest demographic movement/transformation in history, and it’s about to accelerate,” he added.
Steyn said that the demographic suicide of the West highlights the importance of U.S. President Trump’s July message in Warsaw, Poland about faith and family.
In his July 6 rousing speech, Trump issued a clear call for the defense of Christianity that underpins all of Western Civilization, along with all the culture and traditions that arise from that source. He urged Europeans to put “faith and family, not government and bureaucracy, at the center of our lives.”
But for Steyn, it is likely already too late for most Western European countries to turn the boat around.
“A post-Christian Europe doesn’t really have any faith and it doesn’t have any families either. They are fading into the past. They have essentially broken the compact of human societies,” he said.
“The people who built the modern world are going out of business, voluntarily,” he added.
Steyn is not the only one warning of the pending demographic crisis.
Last month Tesla CEO and SpaceX founder Elon Musk tweeted that “The world's population is accelerating towards collapse, but few seem to notice or care.”
Earlier in March Musk told CNNMoney that the world “should be concerned about demographic implosion.”
“So if you look at countries like Japan, most of Europe, China,” Musk said, “and you look at the birth rates, in a lot of those places it is only at about half of the sustaining rate.”
Musk described an up-side-down demographic pyramid, where the elderly are now the new flat top that is supposed to be held up by a shrinking younger base.
“So it will sort of fall over,” he said. “It will not stand.”
Be back bump
BTTT!!!
“There is essentially going to be a new “Iron Curtain” put up in Europe where the old one was, as the countries of Central Europe refuse to partake in this suicide.”
My prediction is that they actually go back to RUSSIA, but voluntarily this time. The EU doesn’t seem to have any room for countries wishing to keep their ethnic identity. Russia, on the other hand, will help them defend just that.
Thanks!! Reason has prevailed over that assimilation crap. Unless a lobotomy is applied, assimilation of a muzzie fails.
Nothing here that didn’t appear in “Death of the West”. (Buchanan).
Kamikaze on steroids.
WORKS FOR ME!!!

I’m on page 162, great adventure!
Matt what’s your EDC? Just wondered with your tactical mind and state of preparedness in all your books
What is EDC?
Correct. To date the best response has been appeasement, which will only result in their ultimate enslavement.
.....also, I consider Mark Steyn somewhat of a national treasure. He has an uncanny ability to cut through the crap.
A perfect example was a couple of months ago when some CNN shitlib posited “Statistically, Americans have a greater chance of being killed by a falling appliance than by a terrorist attack”. To which Steyn replied “If your only daughter was blown up by a muslim jihadist at an Arianna Grande concert, 100% of your female children are dead”.
Women have decided that they must free themselves from the burdens of being women. By declaring themselves equal they lose the thought of inequality and shed the characteristics necessary for a civilized society
Their desires are enhanced by contraceptives and menstrual control devices. If France were to outlaw the pill and tampons, France would continue to be.
If you are a progressive you don’t notice it because the news you would watch doesn’t report on it.
That said, those on the right know well what is happening and do not want that fate for the US.
I love our two oceans and President Trump, but I am afraid we are next.
1. We’ve already let hordes of Muslims in.
2. We allow them to build Mosques EVERYWHERE (remember the one at the World Trade Center) and our Constitution protects their religion—in the eyes of our liberals.
3. White America is having fewer kids, just like Europeans.
4. Muslims in the USA are having many kids, compared to us.
5. Half the judiciary is FIGHTING to allow Muslims in, by fighting the President and his Constitutional duty to protect us—yet they do not care about the Constitution; just politics.
I do not know what will happen here, but IF we do not change half the county’s mind set over this, we too shall be conquered.
Everyday carry setup, ppl on YouTube or blogs will post items they daily carry with the emphasis on weapons, preparedness —watch, utility tool, flashlight, rape whistle, etc
