“In 2000, for the first time, there were more Muslims in the world than Catholics”
Before Sept. 11, most Americans would have yawned at that statistic from Pat Buchanan’s Death of the West. But now, with the dangers of a resurgent Islam practically a nightly news feature, Buchanan’s book has become a runaway bestseller.
His alarming message? The Christian West is dying. The reasons?
Collapsing birth rates and native populations... out-of-control immigration... a process of “de-Christianization”
With electrifying prose and massive documentation, Buchanan reveals:
- How collapsing birth rates in Western nations, coupled with skyrocketing birth rates among Muslims, Asians and other Third World peoples will soon cause cataclysmic shifts in world power
- How uncontrolled immigration is changing the composition of the U.S. and European nations in ways that threaten their survival
- How our cultural institutions have been deliberately and systematically undermining the foundation beliefs and traditions of American and Western civilization for years
- Why aging populations will force developed nations to choose between mass immigration and mass euthanasia
- Why the Christian majority in America was routed -- with help from its own clergy
- Why young women are not having children in America and Europe
- Empty churches, full mosques: the long-term implications for the post-Christian West
- Why immigrants from Mexico will never assimilate
- Why the GOP may be history by 2010
- Six terrible consequences of the overthrow of the moral order
- Five ways you can enlist now in the battle to preserve Christian America
- The single most important cause for 21st-century conservatives
- The “absolute correlation” between religious faith and large families -- and between loss of faith and population decline
- Empty doomsaying? “The Death of the West is not a prediction of what is going to happen,” Buchanan clarifies, “it is a depiction of what is happening now. First World Nations are dying. They face a mortal crisis, not because of something happening in the Third World, but because of what is not happening at home and in the homes of the First World.”
