 Truly Eye Opening November 5, 2008
America Alone is a cogent analysis of the culture clash between western civilization and Islam. Steyn's brilliant composition is both enlightening and powerful. Mark Steyn segments his writing with great wit and humor, which makes his observations and arguments all the more entertaining.
Nostradamus November 3, 2008
Mark Steyn opens your eyes to the truth with total disregard to political correctness. Thank God! He is a modern day Nostradamus. If Obama get in Tuesday, Mark's predictions will only be accelerated.
 America Alone October 28, 2008
Mark Steyn is refreshingly informative. We do need to be aware of the Islamic danger.
I recommend this book to any thinking American.
Where are the babies? Steyn knows... October 22, 2008
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
Whether you like the author or not (I do), and whether you dislike his dry wit or not (I'm all about it), you're going to have a hard time disagreeing with his main point: much of what will be decided in the world in terms of Islam has already been decided by birth rate. Many countries aren't producing enough babies to replace themselves, and they need immigrants in order to pay for their lavish social programs. Those immigrants, especially in Europe, are (a) most often Muslim, and (b) often very uninterested in doing anything other than recreating their respective countries in their god's image.
That being said, Steyn is able to tell this story with ample statistical and parenthetical examples of his claims along with the ability to predict the future by simply observing the present. It's a thought-provoking read, and it's certainly one worth considering.
Every American should read this book October 13, 2008

America Alone: The End of the World as We Know It, by Mark Steyn, is one of the most important books I've read in the last several years. I believe it should be read by all Americans and Europeans.
Steyn looks at demography and discovers some chilling statistics - the birth rate of non-Muslim Europeans is well below replacement rates whereas the birth rates among Muslims, including European Muslims, far surpasses the replacement rate. In other words, the non-Muslim population of every European country, as well as many Asian countries, is aging and shrinking while the Muslim population is young and growing. This, in conjunction with the west's neutering of their own culture and mores, is rapidly leading to the Islamification of Europe. In fact, we see this more and more each day. Just a couple of weeks ago, Great Britain recognized Sharia courts and gave them the full authority of English law in some situations. That is only one of the symptoms. Steyn provides many more.
The United States is the only western country that has a birthrate just at replacement rate and, so far, we have been less apt to abandon our culture. Steyn posits that Europe is already lost, it is only a matter of (short) time. The United States, therefore, will be the last bastion of liberty and western culture.
Steyn's prose is very breezy and readable. He is always a joy to read and his arguments are easily understood. Don't let his writing style fool you into thinking that this is an unserious book, however. This is as serious as it gets.
