But they seem either powerless or unwilling to do anything to stop this activity.

Demographically, although the Muslim birthrate has decreased in Europe, it is still much higher than among traditional French, German, or other Western European populations. If current demographic trends continue—and there is no reason to think that they will not—then by the mid- and latter part of the 21st century, Europe will almost assuredly be part of the Dar al-Islam.

Can this be stopped? An Italian journalist phoned Bernard Lewis some years ago and asked that question. Prof. Lewis responded that the solution is for Europeans to start having more babies. The journalist did not want to hear this answer, and promptly hung up the phone on him. What did Prof. Lewis mean here?

Once Europe stopped feeling confident about its culture, it stopped being religious, its churches were left empty, and its people begin to occupy themselves more with their heathenistic concerns rather than the values their ancestors held dear; they also stopped having children because children are both an economic drain and cramp their style.

Two instances come to mind. An American friend and his wife (both WASPs) vacationed last year in France with their baby son. As they walked down the streets of Paris, French citizens came up to them and were so excited to see a young French child. When these French realized that the couple and their children weren’t French, they were notably disappointed. French children—descended of Frenchmen whose ancestors lived in France before the Islamic immigration, are often childless.

An Italian lecturer visiting an American university gave a lecture of the Muslim immigration to Italy coming to Lampedusa (an Italian island off the Libyan coast). He was happy about the North African immigration because he claimed that North Africans were among the smartest Muslims. He argued that Italy, because of its catastrophic demographic problems, should bring North Africans to Italy, and train them as doctors and nurses. When a questioner asked why, he said simply that these doctors and nurses could take care of the Italians as they reached old age. When the questioner responded that what he was arguing for would spell the end of Italian and European culture in Italy, the lecturer, without batting an eye, said, “What else can we do?”

Twice the Ottoman Turks were stopped at Vienna. First in 1521, and then again in 1683. From then on, a confident and powerful Europe pushed the Ottoman Muslims back to the present day borders of European Turkey. Christian Spain also pushed the Muslims out of Spain in 1492. responded, “What else can we do? We are doomed.”

These demographic trends, in short, illustrate the process of why post-Christian Europe seems doomed. Muslims, on the other hand, are overwhelmingly very confident about their future, and, if something drastic does not occur, can likely look forward to the end of European civilization, which will be taken over by Muslims.

But the Muslims never gave up. Today, a confident Islam, with no central body directing it, has now
