Is Europe doomed?

[revots33]

I consider myself politically liberal but recently decided to read the book "America Alone" by Steyn because I thought it looked interesting.

Steyn paints a very bleak picture of the future of the European continent. His basic thesis is that Europe will be a Muslim continent before too long. This is based primarily on demographics... native Europeans are not having nearly enough children to replace their populations (some like Spain and Italy are basically halving their populations with each generation), while Muslim immigrants are arriving in great numbers and having many children. He also points out the impossibility of sustaining the social welfare programs Europeans love without children to pay taxes and fund all this cradle-to-the-grave security. In other words, he thinks Europeans are so complacent that they have no interest in doing anything to avert the looming economic/social catastrophe.

Anyway, I'm no expert in this but it certainly made me depressed for the future of Europe and the western world. Then I hear about Muslim riots in Paris and Muslim violence in Malmo and it seems like the fall of Europe is already happening.

Be interested to hear thoughts from anyone else who's read the book or from Europeans who see the problems first-hand.
