Many have been saying it and historian Professor Niall Ferguson has now also taken up the message in his fascinating new slant on politics and modern history entitled, 'War of the World'; that message is that Europe, with a rapidly falling birth rate, is a decaying and dying society.
Birth rates have fallen to record lows in many European countries (the typical British family, for instance, now only has 1.8 children). This is partly due to the huge drive to popularize so-called "family planning" (which actually means birth control by means of contraceptives) and partly due to the massive increase in convenience abortions - the situation is now so desperate that in Britain a strong case can now be made for banning abortion on this ground alone - to say nothing of on moral grounds.
The situation is serious because within a few short years the average western European will be aged over 60 years! "Family Planning" (contraceptive birth control plus abortion) has tragically and misguidedly robbed us of future generations of Europeans. Of course, social planners had seen this happening and decided that mass immigration was the only solution. This is why mass immigration has increasingly been affecting European society - especially during the last 10-15 years. Necessarily much of the immigrants have come from the muslim east. Why? Because Islamic culture has retained an entirely positive attitude towards large families and has largely rejected the whole concept of birth control - and especially of abortion! If the economies of Europe have any chance of surviving with current levels of prosperity (a few say it is already too late to save Europe), new Europeans urgently needed to be found. With their widespread rejection of the social policies which caused the trouble in the first place, Islamic countries such as Turkey and Pakistan with huge numbers of work-hungry young men and women have been pouring into Europe.
Of course, Britain already had a record of encouraging mass immigration with large numbers of, first of all, West Indians and, later, Asian Indians coming to the UK from the early 1950s onwards. Large numbers of these people (though not all) were readily assimilated into British society because West Indians already embraced a form of Christian culture in their own land and most Indians had already experienced a society largely based on British society in their own land. It would be wrong to say that no West Indian or Asian Indian ghettos exist in the UK but they are few and there is no doubt that most of these peoples have integrated into British society remarkably well.
But Britain's encouragement of massive Pakistani immigration has had some effects which few appeared to expect. Large numbers of these people were found to embrace a most conservative form of Islam which accepted no compromises with western society. Of course, the question could reasonably be asked why these people were so attracted to Britain in the first place and the answer appears to be that it is the strength of the British economy and the work opportunities which this offered which was the main attraction. But these people have quite readily formed Pakistani areas in most major cities and have, for the most part, shown no interest in becoming "British" - the same is true in the other major western European nations where they have now settled in huge numbers.
All races are equal before God and this is not a racial issue, it is a cultural issue. The success and mass acceptance of Britain's West and Asian Indians reveals that this is not a matter of race - but it could ultimately be a matter of alien cultures colliding.
So can a dying European culture which has so tragically sacrificed its own future for the misguided social policies of liberal "family planners" truly be saved by the mass influx of Asians who do not even see 'common cause' with that culture?
And is it not remarkable that - even now - many liberals refuse to accept the complete failure and redundancy of their distorted policies?
The Lord instructed the family of Noah to multiply upon the earth; many believe that the 21st century will see outstanding success come to two groups of people who did indeed do that: the Chinese and the Asian Islamics.
