Speech row rocks multi-ethnic Canada
By Henri Astier
BBC News



More than half-a-million Muslims live in Canada
Canada is often thought of as a land of bland consensus and multicultural harmony - the last place where you would expect to see a religious minority up in arms, and journalists accusing the state of gagging freedom of speech.

Yet in recent months, these have become fixtures of the country's public debate.

The Canadian equivalent of Denmark's cartoonists, or the Netherlands' Ayaan Hirsi Ali, is the outspoken conservative columnist Mark Steyn.

In a 2006 article he used demographics to suggest that the West would succumb to Muslim domination.

The piece, entitled "The future belongs to Islam" and published by the Toronto magazine Maclean's, argued that Europe was "too enfeebled to resist its remorseless transformation into Eurabia".

Mr Steyn summarised the presumed global advantage of militant Islam with a stark equation: "Youth + Will = Disaster for whoever gets in your way."

So, the BBC finally finds out about a story from 2 years ago, and acts like there is a big controversy at work on par with the Dutch situation? Way to be on top of things, BBC.

"the west" is soft and in decline. birth rates at rock bottom.

somebody should write "the rise and fall of the white race" and win a pulitzer. but by then awarding of pulitzers will be illegal under sahria law.

enjoy the cntinual degradation of the shoddy choice of western techno-police state vs. conversion to islam lest death.
