Product Description
In this, his first major book, Mark Steyn--probably the most widely read, and wittiest, columnist in the English-speaking world--takes on the great poison of the twenty-first century: the anti-Americanism that fuels both Old Europe and radical Islam. America, Steyn argues, will have to stand alone. The world will be divided between America and the rest; and for our sake America had better win.

 Every American citizen needs to read this book! ( kimhad )
This book is a call to arms for all Americans who wish to retain the real values that this country was founded upon. This country is too special, too unique to be allowed to waste away and melt into a European model that is clearly broken. All immigrants who come to this country MUST wish to become true Americans and ONLY American. We can no longer welcome all and allow them to shun the American way of life and begin to impose foreign laws on this government. This has been and always will be the greatest way of life that was ever created and it must not die. We can and will embrace many cultures as part of the fabric of America, but never to the exclusion of the ideals that make it great.

 makes interesting points when not busy being racist ( sethcohenrox )
Mark Steyn is Rush Limbaugh II.
Everything in this book - fact or assertion - is riddled and biased with unadulterated, not-willing-to-see-sense conversativism. For example, Steyn will give you a believable 2 + 2 and then throw in an absurd, unsupported conclusion like 753. That's why it deserved even one star...it was entertaining, if terribly politically incorrect, and made interesting points when it was not busy being racist.
This piece of arrogance is reminiscent of Kipling's "White Man's Burden".
(Which is probably why some of the reviewers are so fond of it. That was a bestseller in its time, as well.) It plays on Americans own arrogance, fear, and sense of self-importance.
It basically groups Whites and Everyone Else together. I was completely offended, even though I'm not Muslim. It is people like Steyn who have destroyed the public perception of Islam, even more than the jihadists, by putting all Muslims (and any non-Whites) in one group.
*insert long-bottled up scream here*

 An Eye Opener
I intended to read this book for some time, but always had another one on the top of my stack to read. Better late than never.
Having just finished this book, I must say that it is an eye opener in regards to the population and cultural changes that are occurring worldwide with little notice to it as we go through our daily life in the U.S. The message is clear, the issue is "Ok, now what?"
This is an important read for any American citizen and even more so for Europian and Asian citizens (and Canada before they decide to formally ban it).

 Unintentionally funny ( janschoenmakers )
Well, he's a funny writer, but this book is, way beyond the indended funniness, unintentionally funny. Take shopworn conservative dreams and dogmas, spice them up with fahionable (Islam-)hysteria and oversalt it with delusions of grandeur and hyperbolic patriotism - and this is what you get. Excites the taste buds, but leaves a stale aftertaste: does he really mean this seriously? I am afraid, for some part he does.
