America Alone
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
America Alone: The End of the World as We Know It (ISBN 0-89526-078-6) is a New York Times bestselling nonfiction book by Mark Steyn, published in 2006. It has been widely praised by conservative commentators, and recommended by George W. Bush.[1]
America Alone covers topics surrounding the Global War on Terror and centers on issues of demographics concerning Muslims, both worldwide and in many Western countries. It makes the case that both demographics and will-power are on the side of the Islamists, with many Western populations reproducing at or below sub-replacement fertility level, and Muslim countries/Muslim peoples within Western countries reproducing at a drastically higher level. According to Steyn, this will lead to civil unrest and the potential fall of democratic institutions as rising numbers of Muslims vote in Islamic laws and spread Islamic culture to the mainstream. The causes Steyn identifies are a post-Christian nanny state, welfare dependency, and cultural agnosticism.[citation needed] As the title suggests, Steyn asserts America alone bucks the trends and remains the last outpost of classical Western culture and Enlightenment values.[citation needed]
The paperback edition (ISBN 1596985275), released in April 2008 with a new introduction, is labeled "Soon to Be Banned in Canada", reflecting Steyn's expectations of the cases he faces in the Canadian Human Rights Commission and the HRCs of Alberta and British Columbia.
