It's the end of the world as we know it...
Someday soon, you might wake up to the call to prayer from a muezzin. Europeans already are. And liberals will still tell you that "diversity is our strength"--while Talibanic enforcers cruise Greenwich Village burning books and barber shops, the Supreme Court decides sharia law doesn't violate the "separation of church and state," and the Hollywood Left decides to give up on gay rights in favor of the much safer charms of polygamy. If you think this can't happen, you haven't been paying attention, as the hilarious, provocative, and brilliant Mark Steyn--the most popular conservative columnist in the English-speaking world--shows to devastating effect. The future, as Steyn shows, belongs to the fecund and the confident. And the Islamists are both, while the West is looking ever more like the ruins of a civilization. But America can survive, prosper, and defend its freedom only if it continues to believe in itself, in the sturdier virtues of self-reliance (not government), in the centrality of family, and in the conviction that our country really is the world's last best hope. Mark Steyn's America Alone is laugh-out-loud funny--but it will also change the way you look at the world.

Devastating critique of the diversity as the paramount virtue of a society. Without freedom, diversity is meaningless.

Demographic time bomb, cultural suicide set to destroy West

July 6, 2007

Format: HardcoverVerified Purchase

Mark Steyn's book is a thoughtful look at the problem of declining demographics and ebbing idealism among the Western democracies.

Against a low Western birthrate we are faced with Islamic cultures whose women are kept barefoot, ignorant and very pregnant. Their burgeoning populations are already a political force espousing "cultural sensitivity" to implement sharia piecemeal upon their host societies. Soon they will have the votes to impose their terrifying vision of society on their hosts whose openness and freedom have abetted this return to the seventh century.

Against a sea of white guilt and politically correct cultural relativism we have stopped espousing, have even stopped defending, the brilliant Western ideas which have been the fountain of human liberty and prosperity since the Renaissance.

Steyn asks whether or not Europe is too far gone to recover, thus the title "America Alone". I hope they can come out of their stupor and defend their countries from this insidious invasion.

Mark Steyn provides plenty of facts along with his usual acerbic wit to deliver devastating blows to the usual culprits in government and the media. Lots of laugh out loud quips even though the topic left me worried about the future of free societies.

Read to understand that this reality is our door step

May 16, 2011

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

This book gave me an education. Western civilization and culture is becoming an endangered species. It's a function of numbers on one hand, with the influx of immigrants and poor population replacement rates of host countries. Then there is a dissension of mindset. Western civilization thrives on freedom of thought and will, live and let live, valuing diversity, etc. The other mindset is bent on take over, intimidation, submission, with no intention of assimilation. Western minds just can't relate to this other mindset. I believe our very own democratic values have been used against ourselves, and we are being bullied into barbaric, dark times of centuries past. This book spells it out. Please read it and learn.

My first read of Mark Steyn's work

August 24, 2008

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

Mr. Steyn's view points concerning the dangers of Islam are shared by a large number of my Indian national colleagues. India is a secular religious-tolerant country with a rising Muslim poplulation of over 130 million.

It appears many in the educated Hindu, Jain and Sikh populations share Mr. Steyn's views of Islam as a 7th century religious and political system bent on enforcing its archaic dictums upon democratic societies. Two major concerns here are the birth rate of Muslim families substanially exceeding the birth rate of other groups, and the silent moderate Muslim majority's failure to publically denounce Islamic extremist atrocities. These are also Mr. Steyn's concerns on a global basis.

Mr. Steyn provides compelling arguements concerning the exportation of Western Popular Culture being ineffective in combating the Islamic menance, but rather the exportation of the benefits of American culture concerning self-reliance and independence from what Mr. Steyn calls "Nanny Governments," as effective means to defeat Islamic radicals.

From a literary point of view, Mr. Steyn is second to none in his ability to turn a phase. I found myself laughing out loud reading his verbiage about this serious and dark subject. Whether or not a reader agrees with Mr. Steyn's opinions, this book provides splendid and entertaining arguements which make an interesting and provocative read for all.
