The Muslim world has youth, numbers and global ambitions. The West is growing old and enfeebled, and lacks the will to rebuff those who would supplant it. It's the end of the world as we've known it. An excerpt from 'America Alone'.
MARK STEYN | Oct 20, 2006 | Maclean's magazine
Regarding this article:
Under Canadian law, there is a serious argument that the article contained hate speech and that its publisher, Maclean's magazine, the nation's leading newsweekly, should be forbidden from saying similar things, forced to publish a rebuttal and made to compensate Muslims for injuring their "dignity, feelings and self respect."
The British Columbia Human Rights Tribunal, which held five days of hearings on those questions in Vancouver last week, will soon rule on whether Maclean's violated a provincial hate speech law by stirring up animosity toward Muslims.

that's a good article. i always like steyn's stuff. i guess that book has been out a couple of years but i hadn't heard of it.
anyway, if that constitutes hate speech, we in the west are in far more trouble than i knew.
That's just in Canada. You still have the First Amendment right to tell it like it is. The rest of the West is too afraid of truth.
I also thought that article was completely innocuous. Ironic: the Quran calls for beheading unbelievers and we're the ones charged with hate crimes against Muslims. Political correctness is killing us.
