In my many conversations with people about the threat that radical Islam poses to the British way of life - and, indeed, to European civilization - we frequently end by despairingly agreeing that the West seems intent on committing political and cultural suicide. We look starkly at the demographic statistics, the wimpishness of our Establishment in the face of the threat, the perversions perpetuated by political correctness and our own passivity, it's hard to avoid the conclusion that within a couple of generations, Islam will be in control in Europe. Consider just a few chilling statistics. Europeans are failing to reproduce. Just to keep the population steady, you need to have 2.1 live births per woman. However, in 2005, the European average was 1.38. In Irealand it was 1.9, France 1.89, Germany 1.35 and Italy 1.23. Britain scored near the middle of this range with 1.6, but that was because - like France - we have a large Muslim population with a high birth rate. Indeed, Muslims are outbreeding non-Muslims throughout Europe.
"Just look at the development within Europe," said a triumphant Norwegian imam a few months ago, "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. Our way of thinking will prove more powerful than yours."
The big question this poses is: Why are we not reproducing? There are many reasons but probably the most important are the decline of religion and the liberation of women. Whereas in the 1970's, I was regarded both in the UK and Ireland as odd for being voluntarily childless, these days, childlessness is a common choice. In Ireland...

Will do.
Alll histories are producrs of the religious beliefs of the men making it, yet the US public schools expunge religion from history. They exlude it primarily for reasons of denial since they want the kids to believe that rational secular humanism is the basis for all that we have now, not christianity.
Christianity is the root reason for the freedom of every nation on earth.
The schools are destroying the root by denying the reason for freedom even the kids are acdcepting of what the rest of leftists tell them that Chritianity is tyrannial.
The book predicted that "in the 1970s and 1980s hundreds of millions of people will starve to death", that nothing can be done to avoid mass famine greater than any in the history, and radical action is needed to limit the overpopulation. The predictions not only did not come true, the world developed in a direction completely opposite to the one predicted by Ehrlich, without implementing any of his proposed measures.
What draconian measures do you recommend to defuse this "population bomb"? Forced sterilization? Strict limits on muslim birth rate? A competition to see who can have the most babies?
I don’t know about a nation of Muslims, but Britain is definitely a nation of dhimmis and with only 3% Muslims. Think what it will be like 30 years from now when the Muslim population will be 35%.
Absolutely! Britain has mostly gone the way of PC degenerate states. It’s still an ally but we’ve got to face the harsh reality — its days are numbered in the war against international Islamofascism.
On behalf of us both and the country, we’d be happy to have you.
You're very gracious...especially considering how I posted that picture of the wolf spider that time, and frightened a genuine scream out of you.
I guess you're either very forgiving, or relishing the opportunity for revenge. =]
That was a seriously scary spider, but then, anything larger than the really tiny ones that are a few millimetres across terrify me.
Its all in the legs. :)
utter nonsense.
this has been a good excuse for all the anti-uk freepers to harp on about the end of the Britain, and chat about them being the last bastion and all that. is isolationism taught as part of the curriculum or what?
Does your prescience mean that I’m going to have to start learning the Qu’ran and wandering over to the local mosque on a friday night? Please, in your infinite wisdom, give us a clue about how to proceed...
I like being called part of a ‘pc degenerate state’. If I had the gall to call your nation similar, the mods here would boot me out faster than................
Daily Mail is garbage. Ireland isn’t spelled Irealand. Why use the MSM to justify when they are decryed in the next breath?
“Furthermore, the welfare state subsidizes Muslims to have large families at the expense of the indigenous population who pay higher taxes that discourage large families or even families with enough children to maintain current levels of population.”
I am assuming that you’re talking of the UK here?
If so, this isn’t the truth.............
I know what you mean mate. Melanie Phillips particularly annoys me-how hysterical can the woman be?
