A quote from Mark Steyn on Radioblogger, 3 November 2005

I’m sometimes accused of being terribly pessimistic when I speak in North America. And I always tell Americans and Canadians that the one great advantage […] North Americans have, is that Europe is ahead of you in the line. And you have to learn what’s happening. You have to confront honestly what’s happening with these disaffected Muslim populations in Europe. I mean, most of the September 11th bombers, the Millenium bomber, a lot of these people all passed through various parts of the European welfare state.
