Title & Author: America Alone: The End of the World as We Know It by Mark SteynGenre: Nonfiction-Politics & Current Affaris
My Rating: 9.0
Summed up: Steyn states Islam is rapidly taking over the world. Free societies are not having children. They are too concerned about ease of life because they have become addicted to government coddling. Thus, they do not have families and are kept in state of perpetual adolescence. To pay for their massive welfare states, Europe must rely on immigration, largely Muslim, for their work force. But, these Muslims do not assimilate as previous immigrants did, nor do they believe in the ideals of a free society. They see themselves as Muslims first, rather than as Europeans. Many of them want to turn their new countries into Islamic states, and Steyn argues that in the guise of tolerance and multiculturalism, the Europeans will roll over and let this happen. America must remain true to its ideals and must export the principles of freedom rather than just American pop culture to stem the flow of Islamic extremism coming from Iran and Saudi Arabia. We must fight the welfare state that kills individual self-reliance. Strong individuals make a strong nation and culture, and a strong culture will prevail.
