    <body><![CDATA[Mark Steyn succinctly brings to bear tons of statistics, facts and news articles in order to shine some light on the current global political issues and trends so that we can see a little further down the tunnel.  Unfortunately, there doesn't seem to be much light at the end and this is through no fault of Mr. Steyn.<br/><br/>I'm not one to get involved in conspiracy theories or politics in general.  However, based on reviews elsewhere, I felt that it would behoove me to dive into this book.  Some will call it alarmist (and some have) and chock full of conspiracy theory.  What I saw was a good shot in the arm of reality waking me up from a personal stupor over global issues.<br/><br/>The main issue?  Islam.  Not as a religion, but as a political and demographic machine fueled by ideology.  The ideology is religious based, but the impact is not limited to religion.<br/><br/>I highly recommend this book as it is truly a wake-up call.  Europe has fallen under the spell and when (if) they wake up, they'll find the scene has changed tremendously.  America is starting to fall asleep and we need to be shaken out of it before it is too late.]]></body>
