Mark Steyn Again

I hope that this is the close of "Mark Steyn, WTF?" week but then you never know with that guy. Anyway, Steyn's central argument is something about how Europe is doomed because the Muslims in Europe have a higher birthrate. Steyn seems alarmingly comfortable with genocide but stops short of advocating it because it wouldn't work in his estimation. Or something like that. Anyway, I'm fairly sure that Dennis Perrin's post today is a parody of Steyn. Read it for yourself and judge.

Steyn on Genocide


Andrew Sullivan has discovered that Mark Steyn is a bit too comfortable with genocide. Dinesh D'Souza and others have admitted that sometimes it is a strategy of the right-wing noise machine to take ultra-extreme views, views that they may find abhorrent, but do so to push the "middle ground" rightward.

The question is, do we give Mark Steyn that much credit? The fact that Steyn describes what Milosevic and his generals did as a "cull" of Muslims ought to give us all pause. This man is sick and will do anything and say anything to promote his completely disturbing view of reality. As a Canadian I am embarrassed by his words.
