Entry: The Empty Manger Link: http://www.takimag.com/site/article/the_empty_manger#12534 Post contents: I wonder why the conservative writers at Takimag are always moaning and crying about the demise of Europe, that is supposedly going to be swamped by the Muslim hoards. In the country that has the most Muslims as a percentage, France, they are only 7 percent. In most countries like England and Germany, they are in the range of 2 percent. In Italy, they are below 1 percent. This by the way comes from the most accurate source available, the CIA factbook. Some may consider those percentages to be catastrophic (I do not), but let's compare this to US immigration, where the European ethnicity makes up less than 65 percent of the general population, which is projected to be reduced to a minority by 2040 if current immigration levels continue. I always find it funny how Americans find ways of lamenting Europe's demise through immigration-- a fear I do not share whatsoever. One wonders why they don't apply these same xenophobic standards to their own country, sincer they would find the situation is more dire for them. Add to this the problems the US will face in terms of peak-oil and the coming collapse of the banking industry in your country. Well Europe is doing fine in comparison. Sent at: 2008 08 30
