“Instantaneous Gratification” is a concept for those who lack vision.

Say what you will, but Islam has never been short on “vision.” Many are still fighting the Crusades. Grudges from generations ago still weigh heavy on the minds of many Muslims, and they pass those down to their progeny to mete vengeance at the appropriate time – whether that means ten, or one hundred years later. “A thousand years to a Muslim is like a month to an Infidel…”

Not long ago, Libyan dictator Muammar Gaddafi predicted Europe’s future: “We have 50 million Muslims in Europe. There are signs that Allah will grant Islam victory in Europe–without swords, without guns, without conquests. The 50 million Muslims of Europe will turn it into a Muslim continent within a few decades.” And he is right, if present trends hold. Muslims will dominate Europe if Turkey, which contains 77 million Muslims, is allowed into the European Union as is now proposed, and its citizens are allowed to live anywhere in the EU.

That is about the only conclusion one can draw from the growing Muslim population of the continent, which shows no signs of slowing. The demographics prove it. About 1.5 million Muslims live in Great Britain. Another 890,000 live in the Netherlands, with 380,000 in Belgium and 280,000 in Sweden. Nearly 200,000 live in Austria. France and Germany have more than 6 million and about 3 million respectively. In all, some 50 million Muslims have entered Europe since the 1950s, when virtually no Muslims lived there. They now compose 7 percent of the population.

As Muslim birth rates surge, native Europeans are aborting and contracepting themselves to death. The collapsing birth rates across Europe aren’t just low; they are below replacement levels, meaning that Europeans will soon go the way of the dodo bird. The bare minimum replacement rate is 2.1 children per woman (or 210 children per 100 women). Germany and Italy, at 80 births per 100 women and negative population growth, are headed for literal extinction. The German government predicts that the land of Goethe and Beethoven will be a Muslim country by 2050. France isn’t far behind with 125 births per 100. The Netherlands’ and Spain’s rate is about 100 births per 100 women. The European Union as a whole is 102.5 births per 100 women.

The concern is what Europe’s face will look like when Muslims are ascendant demographically, and how much that face will remotely resemble what used to be called Christendom.

Naturally, as the Muslim population has grown, so has its visible presence. Rotterdam’s mayor is an immigrant Muslim. Another Muslim immigrant sits in the British House of Lords. In Southern France , mosques are more numerous than Catholic churches. As European Christianity declines, its churches become mosques as well. Minarets poke into the skyline of Europe’s old cities and towns. In Brussels, Belgium, Muslim squatters simply began holding services in Our Lady of Perpetual Succor, apparently with the permission of the bishop. Open-air meat markets line city streets. Schools serve Halal food (foods permissible under Islamic law), not just to Muslim children but also to Christians without their knowledge, while so many Muslims populate Norway’s prisons that the authorities gave up trying to serve different foods and adopted an all-Halal diet for prisoners to keep the Muslims quiet. Public swimming pools now segregate  men and women into different times of the day. In London, the Croydon Council adopted a Muslim-only swim time.

Why should this be of concern to us here in the good ol’ US of A?

Because  the U.S. birthrate fell from 2007 to 2008 and is now below replacement rate. One population expert, noting that children are the “only future a country has,” warns that a scarcity of children condemns a country to stagnation, bankruptcy and eventually death.

The U.S. National Vital Statistics Report for April 2010 shows that the U.S. birthrate fell two percent from 2007 to 2008. It is a drop below the replacement fertility rate of 2.1 children per woman to a rate of 2.08.

Steven Mosher, president of the Population Research Institute (PRI), said “Children are an expression of hope in the future. With the downturn in housing prices, and the upswing in the unemployment rate, it is not surprising that many couples decided to defer having children until the economic downturn had corrected itself. We will, I predict, see a bigger drop in the birth rate  when the unemployment rate hovers around 10 percent, 9.3 percent according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics.”

Birth rates have fallen in Europe and other developed countries, “for the same reason.”

Mosher added that “anecdotal evidence” suggests Americans are “increasingly aborting babies who were unfortunate enough to be conceived during this economic recession.”

He reported that more men and women are having themselves sterilized and contraceptive use is also up.

When asked about the broader consequences for a country below a replacement birth rate, Mosher commented:

“Look at present-day Greece, which is going over a demographic cliff because of a scarcity of children. Too few young people are entering the work force to replace retiring workers, entitlement spending is increasing at the same time that tax revenues are leveling off, and the government is technically bankrupt.

“Children are the only future a country has, and countries that fail to provide for the future in the most fundamental way–by providing the future generation–are condemned to stagnation, bankruptcy, and death.”

Given the current drop in births here in America, Islamic leaders think it will take at least fifty, but less than 100 years to dominate the USA.

Go forth, be fruitful, and multiply. Or your grandchildren may be living in a completely different world than you imagined.
