"One day soon, you may wake up to a muezzin's call to prayer. Europeans already do it." America Only: The End of the World as We Know It, a New York Times bestseller, is a 2020 guide to a continent called Eurabia. Europe in 2020 looks very familiar, most of the old streets and cathedrals are still alive. However, the National Islamic Party has just won the French elections. European women are veiled. In America Alone, Mark Steyn, a conservative political commentator, argues that “much of what we call the Western world will not survive the twenty-first century, and much of it will effectively disappear in our lifetimes, including many, if not most , European countries”. countries." Muslim immigration into European countries will lead to the end of the current European culture. America, Steyn argues, will have to fend for itself. The world will be divided between the United States and the rest; and for the sake of the Western population America better win. Steyn attributes the inevitable fall of the Western world to three factors: “Demographic decline, the unsustainability of the advanced Western social democratic state, and the exhaustion of civilization.” European countries have very low birth rates while Islamic nations have high birth rates It causes several difficulties for European countries First, European nations will run out of native Europeans to repopulate their nations, and second, i young people are more capable of provoking a revolution than older people are capable of defending themselves from a revolution. To counteract low birth rates, European nations have relied on mass immigration from overpopulated parts of the world, especially of Muslims. However, it is important to note that the difference is... at the heart of the paper... the Islamic threat since he wrote it, so the credit partly goes to him. Mark Steyn's American Alone is an excellent argumentative and logical doomsday prediction, but it is still a prediction that only time will prove correct. Works CitedSteyn, Mark.
