Outstanding Question Marks May 13, 2008
As brilliant a piece of polemics as this is, Steyn needs to address the fact that Muslim fertility rates, in Europe as well as in the Middle East, are on the decline. Steyn's thesis rests on the fact that the fertility rates of native Europeans and Muslim immigrants stay about the same for the next 25-50 years and beyond, at least in relative terms. Recent findings by Westoff and Frejka show that this simply isn't true. Reality is a little less straightforward than Steyn makes it to be. Reader caution is adviced.

In what way is this a serious book? November 15, 2007
6 out of 18 found this review helpful

I have given it a 1 because there's no zero option.

You can agree or disagree with Steyn's politics as you wish, but one fact is indisputable.

This book does not have a bibliography. Or footnotes.

That's right. A tome that professes to be a serious examination of issues around demographic change provides no sources or citations for the "facts" so gleefully sprinkled through it.

That, as far as I am concerned, disqualifies it completely from all serious consideration.

Mark Steyn does not mince words October 23, 2007
13 out of 14 found this review helpful

Mark Steyn can be described as the Paul Revere of the modern age. While the West sleeps, Islamic nations have been slowly infiltrating the U.S, Europe, Australia and Canada. Steyn regards Europe as a lost cause which did not notice that Muslims were multiplying much faster than Europeans so that the most popular name for newborn babes in Europe is Mohammad. He regards this change in demography, the aging population of Europe and its low birth rate as being extremely dangerous to the future of our Western culture.
He encourages us all to change that demography by having more children.
He also warns us that Muslim fundamentalists mean business when they declare they hate the West and want to destroy it. "America Alone" is similar in theme to Melanie Phillips' "Londonistan" but is much more pertinent and interesting to read.
Steyn has a brilliantly effective and humorous style that belies the seriousness of his topic. In one sentence his message is "Don't say I didn't warn you."

Witty antidote to anti-American welfare wimpism July 18, 2007
25 out of 27 found this review helpful

A brilliant and very readable book. Personally I doubt if we will ever see an Islamic State of Europe, but we certainly need people like Mark Steyn to warn of the dangers.

To a certain extent Steyn argues against his own gloomy predictions, he thinks there is a good chance that the Muslim birth-rate will decline like other groups, he sees hope in the education and empowerment of Muslim women, and he concludes that Islam can reform itself. Throughout the book the underlying theme is that the real enemy is the insidious weakening and blackening of our society by the left and much of the media, which greatly reinforces the grotesque world-view of the terrorist.

Yes, but who is causing this malaise July 5, 2007
9 out of 53 found this review helpful

Yes, there is a malaise in the UK and old Europe but surely the USA is even worse...
.....and what is causing the accelerated corruption of all our souls? Surely it is the universal implementation of globalist corporate initiatives across both continents and this is personified by nothing more than the Neo-Conservative agenda that Mr.Steyn himself promotes.

People need to wake up. What is good for the Rothschilds and the Rockefellers and Israel is not necessarily good for the rest of us. The 'War on Terror' is one of history's greatest lies. It is phoney....a corporate beanfeast based on big big lies told by politicians and sold by a supine and treasonous media.
