Black Dog Posted November 28, 2006 Report Share Posted November 28, 2006 Good BUMP. However, I read your "Madison Grant" link with both interest and horror. There was and is nothing inherent, even in Muslim immigrants, that creates violence. What Mark Steyn is correctly pointing out, I believe, is that most of the nations organized as Muslim nations are, as a result of the Wahabist Wahhabist orientation of Islamic education, turning into dangerous nuisances. I believe the problem is that the oil money has gone primarily to the Wahabist Wahhabist regimes, and they are funding Madrassa education even in previously relaxed Muslim jurisdictions as Pakistan and Indonesia. Nice try, but I find such nuance completely lacking in Steyn's work on this subject. He's not talking about anything so complex as the role of the madrassas in exporting the Wahhabist ideology: he's not even talking about ideology at all ("Islamism", per Steyn, is the state of being Islamic). He makes no distinction between "radical" Muslims from nations such as Saudi Arabia and Pakistan and other nations such as Turkey, Morocco or Algeria. He also obvious factors (read: economic) behind the trouble Europe is having with Muslim immigrant populations that are only tangentially related to religion. The problem, according to Steyn, is that the brown people are breeding faster than us. It's all here in, er, white and white. The fertility rate in the Gaza Strip is one of the highest on earth. If you measure the births of the Muslim world against the dearth of Bishop Kate's Episcopalians, you have the perfect snapshot of why there is no "stability": With every passing month, there are more Muslims and fewer Episcopalians, and the Muslims export their manpower to Europe and other depopulating outposts of the West. It's the intersection of demography and Islamism that makes time a luxury we can't afford. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
