Europe En Route to Islamic Takeover
(Chicago Sun-Times) Daniel Pipes - Christianity's ancient stronghold of Europe is rapidly giving way to Islam. Europe is increasingly a post-Christian society, one with a diminishing connection to its tradition or its historic values. The number of believing, observant Christians has collapsed in the past two generations to the point where analysts estimate Britain's mosques host more worshipers each week than does the Church of England. In addition, indigenous Europeans are dying out due to an anemic EU birthrate of 1.5 per woman. Some 5% of the EU, or nearly 20 million persons, presently identify themselves as Muslims, a figure that will reach 10% by 2020 if present trends continue. Europeans seem to find it too strenuous to have children, stop illegal immigration, or even diversify their sources of immigrants. Instead, they prefer to settle unhappily into civilizational senility.
