"Demography is destiny," the writer Mark Steyn is fond of saying. Rendered in layman's terms, it means: The future belongs to those who show up for it. Whoever has the most babies today will shape the world of tomorrow.

In Europe, it looks increasingly like Muslims will have the last laugh:

In Berlin, Mohammed was the most popular first name for boys in 2022. Last year he had ranked third. ... In Bremen, the first name Mohammed has moved up from third place to second place. ... In Hesse, too, the name of the Muslim prophet is on the rise. There he fought his way from eighth to third place.

It's not just Germany: In the United Kingdom, in Belgium, in Norway, in the Netherland — in all these places the number of babies with Islamic names is soaring, greatly eclipsing the babies with more recognizably Western European names.

Fifteen years from now there will be more ethnically Muslim children in Norway than ethnically Norwegian ones; 25 years from now there will be more Muslim mothers and fathers there than those of the latter.

As one Islamic fellow told a Danish man during a recent confrontation:

We have five children, you only have one or two. In 10 to 15 years there will be more Pakistanis than Danes in this country! ... The Danes are five million, soon you'll be exterminated.

Not sure if "exterminated" is the word I'd choose. But I guess ultimately it comes to the same thing.

This is basic math, folks. Europe is in the midst of transforming into an Islamic continent.
