DAILYNEWSRECORDOnline: A frightening “hate crimes” trial in Canada offers Americans a look at the future of the First Amendment if Muslim immigration to this country continues unabated. Conservative writer Mark Steyn, it seems, “offended” the Muslims in British Columbia, and now not only the Muslims but also the Canadian diversity police want their pound of flesh.
Steyn’s ongoing legal battle began in 2006, when Macleans magazine published an excerpt of his book, “America Alone.” The excerpt, “The Future Belongs To Islam” said nothing that anyone who reads the newspapers doesn’t know: Islam is conquering Europe. But it was “offensive” because it stated exactly that.
Europe, Mr. Steyn wrote, is dying. The Christian faith is waning. Birth rates have collapsed. His reasonable conclusion is that the growing and angry Islamic horde in Europe is preparing the ground for violence, and, indeed, jihad: Aging Europeans, he wrote, are “being supplanted remorselessly by a young Muslim demographic. … [A]t the very minimum, this fast-moving demographic transformation provides a huge comfort zone for the jihad to move around in.” The End of Free Speech: Canadian Case an Omen for America >>> Editorial | June 21, 2008

I'm wondering how much longer we'll have the blogosphere. The silencing of voices is closing in.
Toward the end of the linked article is this:
As a Muslim cleric told a Norwegian newspaper, then quoted by Mr. Steyn: “[T]he number of Muslims is expanding like mosquitoes. Every Western woman in the EU [European Union] is producing an average of 1.4 children. Every Muslim woman in the same countries is producing 3.5 children. … Our way of thinking will prove more powerful than yours.”
As the cultural and litigation jihads proceed, we also have the ongoing and silent demographic jihad. It may be too late to turn back the tide of that last type of jihad. And America isn't far behind, though the percentage of Muslims in America is quite small -- for now.
It really isn't looking at all good for free speech. As you say, this is the year of "silencing the voices".
Muslims in America are fewer in number. But things won't remain that way for ever, as you rightly point out. It's only a matter of time.
