Right on ! : Say Goodbye to Europe

If you ever wanted to see Paris or Rome before you die, but haven't had a chance to do so, you might want to hurry. Soon enough, most of what we now think of as Western Europe will be transformed into a branch of the Muslim world, which is sure to make it an even less welcoming place for Americans, Israelis and for Jews.
That, at least, is the unpleasant, yet entirely unavoidable conclusion to be drawn from Europe's headlong demographic drive toward oblivion.
Think I'm exaggerating? Consider a few cold hard facts.
According to a recent report by the Rand Corporation, "Across Europe, birth rates are falling and family sizes are shrinking. The total fertility rate is now less than two children per woman in every member nation in the European Union."
Needless to say, demographers consider a birthrate of 2.1 children per family to be the replacement level at which a society's population size remains stable. Barring large-scale immigration, anything less means decline and dissolution.
A research study published last year in the International Journal of Andrology found a similar trend, concluding that, "Fertility rates have fallen and are now below replacement level in all European Union (EU) Member States. In the 20-year period since 1982," it noted, "most EU Member State countries have had total fertility rates continuously below replacement level."
At the bottom of the list are Spain, Italy and Greece, where birthrates hover around just 1.3 per couple, leading some forecasters to suggest, for example, that Italy's population could shrink by one-third by the middle of the century.
Others, such as Germany's 1.37, the UK's 1.74 and Sweden's 1.75, aren't all much better.
The figures are so bad that in many European countries, the total number of deaths each year has actually begun to exceed the number of births.
Indeed, the Council of Europe's 2004 Demographic Yearbook warned that, "for Europe as a whole, more people died in 2003 than were born." In 1990, said the yearbook, "three countries - Germany, Bulgaria and Hungary - had negative natural growth for the first time. By 2002, it was negative in fifteen countries."
LAST YEAR, after the publication of statistics revealing that 30 percent of German women have not had children, Germany's family minister, Ursula von der Leyen, caused a stir when she said that if her nation's birth rate did not turn around, the country would have to "turn out the light." And while Europeans may be busy everywhere but in the bedroom, the Muslim populations in their midst are proving far more expansive.
As columnist Mark Steyn points out in his must-read new book, America Alone, "What's the Muslim population of Rotterdam? Forty percent. What's the most popular baby boy's name in Belgium? Mohammed. In Amsterdam? Mohammed. In Malmo, Sweden? Mohammed."
Last month, the UK Daily Telegraph reported that, "Mohammed, and its most common alternative spelling Muhammad, are now more popular babies' names in England and Wales than George."
This, said the paper, using typically British understatement, "reflects the diverse ethnic mix of the population."
But that "mix," so to speak, is rapidly changing - and not in traditional Europe's favor.
ISLAM, BY all accounts, is the fastest growing religion in Europe, spurred by immigration and high fertility rates. According to projections by the US federal government's National Intelligence Council, the continent's current Muslim population of 20 million will likely double by 2025.

Turn the light off for fucks sakes!

The endless span of night is lit by the a small fraction of the base of the dome of the sky. As we approach it becomes brighter, and smoke can be seen obscuring shards of the light from the blaze. Soon we are so close the shadows of the fence are cast upon us, in a thick hatchwork like the bars of a jail.
Illuminated from within is the ancient church, its wooden timbers held compressed by a foundation now returning to the open air their energy stored for a millennium, twisting alight and glowing like embers before shattering with a series of pops in the cold sun untouched air.
Our thoughts and hearts come together on a moment of sadness for the old building, a preservation of so much of what was left of our culture of the past now drowning in a plastic interchangeable reality borne of modernity. It had been where many had been baptised, heard their first sermon or being chastized for their first major infraction. Funerals and weddings, kindergarten and day care,
As it burned and the smell of dusty planks and charring parchment filled the air over the meadow, and the heat and the like piqued our senses incongruous in the swelling boundless darkness, our faces remained calm but our hearts were secretly glad for the end of its dominance, its guilt, and the paranoia that had been in the town for as long as the wood of the church.

Yes,Europe is transforming into a holy western mecca of muslims like myself. However,once spain and portugal were muslem long ago,many nations like france and germany will convert the masses. Most modern day youth muslems live,study and abosored western influence. I see muslem men and women younger than 30 living together like christians do. In my thinking,I think its good to live more up beat and liberal. I discover I dont like radical dogs among my people. I want us ''Youth"" live and breath freedom away from regular habbits like my people back home. Muslem need to change with the times,and needless to say,we do in fact act and be free. Drinking is good,sex is good,and greed is good if u like to be more modern. I do,who wants to subcome to morons who kill innocents lives for the sake of allah. I believe liberialism will rule among us youth of today. Muslem youth can be muselms,but still to embrace western culture and be free of guilt and live for today.

alie mohammd,
I hope that all your co-religionists would adopt the same attitude (or better yet, put your faith in the Son of God!), but I must say that after studying the will of Allah as expressed in Qur'an and Sunnah, you would be considered by any of the "tiny minority of radical, fundamentalist, Islamofascist extremists" an apostate worthy of death.
I urge you to work hard to convince your fellow Muslims of the foolishness of following the murderous, lying, thieving, raping, heretical pedophile Mohammed.

When you move to another country your suppose to accept their laws, customs and ways it is not for them to change to yours! You don't like it leave! Would you expect a European to move to an Arab Muslim country and want to them to change their laws, customs and ways for European? DUH! Take your veils, coverings, customs and take it back to the middle east.
