Eurabia marches on

I'm a news junkie. Well, not so much the raw news. I enjoy a cogent analysis on particular issues. Toss in a bit of wit and a hint of mastery of the mother tongue, and you have me hooked. That's why you'll see me frequently citing Jay Nordlinger and Mark Steyn, both of National Review. You might not like the conclusion, but you'll find the argumentation taught and you'll likely find yourself chuckling (at least smiling) along the way.

As usual, I enjoyed Nordlinger's "Impromptus" at National Review Online this morning. You may find his topics today dull. I wanted to toss you one quote pertaining to his recent trip to Europe, France in particular.

"I saw signs and such translated into two languages: English and Arabic. When I first started going to France, the only translation was into English, and possibly German. This confirms an important change."

That last sentence? Understatement!

The first time I heard of the mass immigration from the Middle East into Europe was when I read Steyn's book, "America Alone." I've spoken about it at length before. His point is that plummeting birthrates in the west and Arab/Islamic immigration into the west (coupled with sizable birthrates) is hurtling us toward a cataclysmic clash of civilizations.

Since then we see problems with "troubled youths" rioting in France (Muslims), sharia law in conflict with civil law in Great Britain, and the Islamic political party becoming the fast growing political party in the Netherlands. When Geert Wilders makes a film warning about the intolerance of Islamic society, his indicted for hate crimes in his own country and not permitted entrance into Great Britain to speak at Parliament (how does one pronounce that?). This is not to mention bombings nor cartoonist beheadings.

We've had our own challenges with increased conflict with Islamic society in, of all places, Minnesota and Michigan. Young ladies who convert to Christianity from Islam our having to flee for their lives from their own families on our soil!! A TV producer ritually killing his wife garnered a bit of ink, but the relationship between Islam and such atrocities has been utterly ignored by the Obama-entranced media.

Much like immigrants into the United States over the past centuries, as long as folks are coming to be part of this country, swell! When folks move in and begin butting heads, now we've got problems.

Everything south of the Mason-Dixon is double-typed in Ingles y Espanol, how long before Arabic script begins showing up in St. Paul and those "troubled and uppity youths" start using cars to light up the midnight sky in Madison?
