Mark Steyn's "America Alone"

Paper Summary:

This paper argues that Mark Steyn's book "America Alone: The End of the World As We Know It" raises many important issues about the terrorist crisis and the global growth of Islamic fundamentalism. However, the author feels that his assessment of the Muslim world and of Europe is colored by Steyn's pro-American sentiment; thereby, he fails to address sufficiently global issues relating to Islamic extremism.

From the Paper:

"Although it is clear that Europe has, and still is, undergoing a significant demographic shift that is influencing its politics and culture, the European Union is just as determined to fight terrorism as any other Western nation or super-power. In fact, countries such as France have introduced laws, such as banning Muslim women from being veiled in public, not, as claimed by Steyn, because of a desire to "push all religion to the fringes of life", but due to the way in which religion, no matter what type, has been a historical problem that still affects its population."
