highly recommended

In this, his first major book, Mark Steyn--probably the most widely read, and wittiest, columnist in the English-speaking world--takes on the great poison of the twenty-first century: the anti-Americanism that fuels both Old Europe and radical Islam. America, Steyn argues, will have to stand alone. The world will be divided between America and the rest; and for our sake America had better win.

Serious work with an ironic twist, or two.

I very highly recommend this book to all who care about the world we in the West will leave to our children and the generations to follow.

This book gives a very good summary of the dilema facing Western Civilation. According to Mr. Steyn, we in the West have gotten into a bind because of our unwillingness to reproduce and our inability (or unwillingness)to defend our culture. Mr. Steyn is not so much critical of Islamic Culture as he is very pointed in drawing attention to the differences between Islam and Western Civilation. I am with Mr. Steyn in NOT opting for the nihilism of political correctness and seeing Western Civilation go down the drain of history.

Most of Europe does not agree with Mr. Steyn. Steyn points-out that Britain, France, Germany, Spain and Italy heve all but surrendered their sovereignty to Radical Islam and a suicidal strain of political correctness. Unless major changes occur in the direction of events, the foundations of Western Civilation will no longer exist. This will happen within the lifetimes of our children.

A point that Mr. Steyn makes repeatedly is that Islam by it's own definition, and according to is own holy texts is exclusionary. You are either part of the Umma (the body of Islamic believers), or your life is forfiet. There is no assimilation or accomodation. Islam devides the world in to regions - Dar al Islam, the "house of Islam" where Islam rules, and Dar al-Harb, the "House of War" where the non-Islamic world is to be subjegated by whatever means neccessary. Guess which part we live in...

The title of Mr. Steyns book, "America Alone" is in part derived from the fact that among western nations, only the US has a birth rate at the bare minimum replacement rate of 2.1 live births per family. (I have 6 children, so some of the slackers are covered, but we need to get to work as a culture.)

The Radical Islamic culture is one which practices the travisties of child marriage, virtual slavery of all women, the vocal call for the death of all Jews and Christians, so-called honor killings, murder by homicide bomber: All and all it is a putrid feast attended by only the most depraved souls. Radical Islam needs to be marginalized. If, as we are repeatedly told, this does not represent the "Vast Majority" of Muslims, then let the "Vast Majority" denounce the savagery and barbarity loudly and clearly. If they are unwilling to do so, then all more is the reason to read Steyn's book. Changeing Western culture and mores, as is happenning all-over the Western world, is not the solution.

Mark Steyn has a biting sense of humor, but does not throw-around the kind of slime and vitriol I've seen aimed at him in some of the 1-star reviews on this page. Most of those reviewers have not read the book, or at any rate do not address the book. Just a lot rant and bile.

One need look no further than the Canadian Human Rights Commissions for the sort of Islamofacist censorship aimed at silencing honest debate. Suits and complaints aimed at Steyn and other commentators have become all to common and are supported by the PC establishment within the Canadian Government. If this does not demonstrate the dangers that Steyn warns of in his book, then nothing will convince you.

Fascinating Doomsday Prophecy

I am utterly fascinated and bewildered by the information contained in this book. While I have no way of knowing if the statistics used are valid--I presume they are--this creates a feeling in me that I may have done the wrong thing in bringing 3 children into the world, which will clearly be a different place before they leave it. This book is humorous and enlightening and should be required reading for everyone in America, especially the attendees at the Democrat Convention. Of course, they wouldn't believe it. A goodly number would probably welcome Mr. Steyn's description of the world at the end of the century. God help them!

Everyone Should Read!

This is an excellent book explained with humor. Every American should read it and at least every politician on Capitol Hill!

Disturbing

This is a very easy read . It is disturbing and seems to be well researched in so far as I have been able (and willing) to verify. I believe this is a must read for every American. It is clear that this book is not irrational bashing of Islam and is generally accurate. No open minded thinking person can simply ignore the problems presented. Mark Steyn is as entertaining as he is provocative.
