Too Scared To Think

I was just watching a video that posits the ‘facts’ that the birth rate in Europe is an average 1.3 children per couple and that historically anything less than 1.9 is an irrecoverable birth rate leading to the decline and disappearance of a people. The UK is actually 1.8 and apparently America is even less. The video then goes on to explore the birth rate amongst Muslims as 8.1 and suggests we will all be Muslim countries within the century and some countries will be Muslim within twenty-five years.

Whilst this is of course a rallying cry to the women of the West to throw away the pill and diaphragm and have more children who will naturally enough be just as human as Muslim children but somehow more palatable to western tastes in politics,  the video tells me to check the facts because they are all true.

Whilst demographics  is always interesting, is this decline in Western supremacy something to be avoided or embraced? Is it actually what it seems to be? Veiled in the video is the ‘threat’ this poses, that somehow the great values of democracy will vanish with the ‘great unwashed’ taking over whole countries without firing a shot. There is no talk at all of the birth rates in China or India of the numbers of Buddhists in the world.

There wouldn’t be, the fear factor is all about Islam. It is absolutely true to say that Islam believes if the world were Islamic it would be a better world; it is absolutely false to suppose living in Western society doesn’t change views, customs and habits.

The world is changing but the bigot is not whoever the bigot’s parents are.
