David:

You write "I have not read Mark Steyn's book but the end of Europe will also spell the end of Christianity in Europe.".

Ah, David. Religions are 'born', 'evolve', 'grow' and eventually die. That is world history. What makes you think that Christianity should survive forever? And in the same way, why should Islam survive forever?. Just ask the Jews, if Christianity and Islam did not exist at all? or muslims and christians behaved 'truly' christian and islamic manner? Just ask the Hindus if Islam and Christianity did not exist? or just ask the Zoroastrians if Islam did not exist? or ask the Coptics if Islam did not exist?

We have fought too many wars in the name of Jesus Christ and Allah. Unfortunately, we are still continuing to fight these wars. Is it not time we stop fighting these wars by abandoning the root cause of these wars -- Islam and Chrisitianity?

No, I am not a Christian, or a Jew or a Muslim or a Zoroastrian or a Coptic. I was born a Hindu and am currently a hard-line 'agnostic'/'agnostic'.

I don't think anybody (except Chrisitans and Muslims) will shed any tears if Christianity dies and takes Islam with it. I hope, they die quickly so that we can bring peace in this world.
