Thanks Toad,
Steyn is a great writer.

Anyone who ready this and takes away nothing but birth rate comparisons should read it again.

That one doesn't matter so much, imo.  The hispanics I know, live near and married generally believe in a version of the western culture they share with us.  The author says quite clearly that it isn't a racial struggle, but a cultural struggle.  Don't try to make it a racial issue, since that only obscures the problem.  To sum up the entire wall-o-text, it's Islamic culture vs. Everybody Else.

It's the best case for Mormonism that I've ever read. ;)

I'm going to go out on a limb and guess that Toad's real name isn't Mark Steyn.

Ok, Sandy...how'd you figure it out?

Was it this:

coupled with the clue that Steyn is Canadian?
