Orlando's Muslim Population Grew Ten-Fold in Past Decade




[From article]
The Muslim community has increased more than 10-fold both in Florida’s Orlando metropolitan area, home to the recent Islamic State (ISIS/ISIL)-linked massacre, and St. Lucie County, where terrorist Omar Mateen hails from, reveals the latest U.S. Religion Census, a county-by-county tally of religious bodies in the United States.
Meanwhile, the number of Muslim congregations in metro Orlando grew 5 times and doubled in St. Lucie County, where the Shariah Board of America-linked mosque attended by Mateen is located.
Data from the U.S. Religion Census shows that the growth in the number of Islam adherents in metro Orlando and in St. Lucie County between 2000 and 2010 far outpaced that of the broader population of Muslims and non-Muslims.
While the overall population in the Orlando region and in St. Lucie County less than doubled over that decade, the Muslim population in those two separate areas grew more than 10 times, respectively.
That means that with every person added to the population, at least ten new Muslims came.
In the Orlando metropolitan area, the number of Muslims skyrocketed from 2,691 (1.3 out of every 1,000 inhabitants) in 2000 to 27,939 (13.1 out of every 1,000 inhabitant) in 2010. During the same period, the number of Islamic congregations in the region grew from four to 20.
The Muslim community in St. Lucie County grew nearly 12-fold to 1,747 (6.3 out of every 1,000 people) in 2010, from 150 (0.5 out of every 1,000 people) in 2000. At the same time, the Muslim congregations in the area grew from one to two.
[. . .]
According to the Center for Security Policy poll, 24 percent of U.S. Muslims agree that “It is legitimate to use violence to punish those who give offense to Islam by, for example, portraying the prophet Mohammed.”

Europe Will Soon Have More Muslims Than Christians

[From article]
Muslims will soon outnumber Christians in Europe, a Belgian minister has claimed.
Speaking at a hearing into the Brussels attacks, Koen Geens said the European Community may not realise it “but this is the reality”.
His comments were followed by Belgian deputy prime minister Jan Jambon warning against Europeans “making an enemy of Islam” describing it as “the worst thing we can do”.
Speaking at the EU Parliament, Mr Geens said: “In Europe, very shortly we’re soon going to have more practising Muslims than practising Christians.”
“That is not because there are too many Muslims, it is because Christian are generally less practising¿ Europe does not realise this, but this is the reality.
Mr Jambon then added: “I’ve said a thousand times, the worst thing we can do is to make an enemy of Islam. That is the very worst thing we could do.
[. . .]
Elsewhere in his speech, Mr Geens said: “terrorists are using Viber, WhatsApp, Twitter, Skype or Facebook to communicate with each other."
He told EU lawmakers that in the past governments could rely on telecommunications operators to cooperate with investigators, but that social media firms haven't been as forthcoming.
Mr Geens said "communication with these providers is far from optimal, and that has been a major obstacle for the investigations."
He said "the EU needs to step in urgently to coordinate national responses and a discussion with providers."

White People Will Be Minority in United States




[From article]
In late 2015, the Pew Research Center came out with a population projection that "non-Hispanic whites are projected to become less than half of the US population by 2055."
Similarly, during 2014, researchers working with U.S. Census Bureau data claimed that non-Hispanic whites would fall into minority status by 2045.
In fact, the U.S. Census Bureau data suggests that this event will almost assuredly happen far earlier than these estimates, likely by 2025 if current trends continue. The non-Hispanic white and Hispanic populations are expected to subsequently cross at about 35% each in the early 2040s.
The estimate of the rapidly falling non-Hispanic white percentage is probably conservative (i.e., the actual decline is much steeper than shown above), as the census data likely underestimates the large numbers of dominantly Hispanic illegal immigrants already in the country that would further lower the non-Hispanic white proportion.

Pew: Muslims Fastest Growing Religious Group




[From article]
In April 2015, the Pew Research Center released a study titled “Why Muslims are the world’s fastest-growing religious group.”
Pew reached the following conclusion, [. . .] “The expected growth of Islam around the world is perhaps the most striking finding in the recent Pew Research Center report projecting the future of religious groups. Indeed, Muslims will grow more than twice as fast as the overall world population between 2010 and 2050 and, in the second half of this century, will likely surpass Christians as the world’s largest religious group.”
[. . .]
Europe and North American are experiencing the most rapid rates of Islamification by population growth. Between 2010 and 2015, the fertility rates of Muslims exceeded that of non-Muslims by 40% in Europe, 35% in the Asia-Pacific region, 30% in North America, 24% in sub-Saharan Africa, and 15% in the Middle East and North Africa.

Late Night MBTA Services In Boston For Young Invading Population



Discontinued Due To Cost And Low Ridership

Councilor Devereaux believes the population of Boston? Cambridge? is getting younger. The Boston area including Cambridge was dominated by students, usually young people, for a teeny tiny number of years. Politicians are getting older. Does that have anything to do with the low voter turnout? Devereux suggested spending taxpayer money to convince corporations to subsidize late night MBTA service. Why doesn't she do it and not spend money? She appears comfortable with the elected criminal class (Noam Chomsky's term) explaining that $14 million is a small amount. Best suggestion of the evening was to raise fares, to increase ridership? Why didn't MBTA managers think of that?



[From article]
City Councilor Jan Devereux, who participated the discussion, noted that the young crowd was not typical of public meetings, and was indicative of the region’s changing demographics.
“We have a young population, and we’re getting younger. The jobs we’re creating are attracting a younger work force, so I anticipate the demand for late-night service will increase,” she said.
[. . .]
Devereux proposed the MBTA hire a marketing consultant to gain interest from corporate sponsors, and said $14 million is small compared to the profits of bio-techs and other large employers.
[. . .]
The MBTA hasn’t done enough to talk about this issue, and there’s a lot more people who need to hear about it,” [Jonathan] Alves said.
[. . .]
Some meeting-goers suggested raising the rate of monthly T passes, which are “dirt cheap” in comparison to New York City or Washington, DC.

Oxford Professor Explains to Harvard Students How States Collapse



Monica Duffy Toft, a professor of public policy at the University of Oxford’s Blavatnik School of Government

So will bringing in more anti American, anti Constitution people, help to stabilize the American republic? Or will it help bring about the end to freedom and a constitutional democracy? Do lessons from the Roman Empire have any application to the United States? Does Medieval History of Europe provide any lessons for that continent?

Ann Coulter Responds to Critics Of Her Criticism of Republican Candidate Forum




Ms. Coulter has as always a good point that Republican politicians like Democratic politicians waste the time of voters enabled by misguided journalists. But it is not only Jewish voters who support Israel. It is a larger demographic than just Jews who support Israel. Wouldn't it be great as Coulter often notes if Republicans would exercise their power and stop the ongoing abuses of power by the White House and his criminal cronies. That is an issue which the dumbed down, venal moderators fail to raise each time

[From article]
"The hypocrites who are mad at me are the ones who support anti-Israel college professors, who refuse to condemn Islamic barbarism, who supported the overthrow of Mubarak for the Muslim Brotherhood, who spread the deadly libel that Jews in America are only successful because of 'white privilege.' "
[. . .]
She told THR, "It's totally fake outrage from frauds who want to continue the dump of third-worlders on the country, including Muslim Jihadists, and voted for the guy who just gave a nuke to Iran."

Changing Skyline of Kendall Square




It is perplexing in extremely progressive Cambridge, loud voices oppose change. No longer a working class factory and college town, the people's republic is now an academic enclave. Like New York City rich people want to live here. They do not like having too many poor people nearby. Does Harvard University have any influence on what the city government does? With a Planning Board that approves projects, the city needs an approval board to make city-wide development plans. What role does state law play in restricting affordable housing?

Cambridge MA Activists Lament Changing Demography




Attorney Clarey refers to "a democratic process that is on the verge of being derailed by your [the city council's] upcoming vote." Why should Cambridge city government listen to voters? State and federal governments ignore voters and taxpayers as established legal policy. The purpose of government is to govern, not to listen to gentle flowers who whine because they oppose change. Cambridge is an upper class elite city. It will take a while to rid the city of its poor people, but it will be done. Welcome the new wealthy residents. They need housing. Build it so that they can come here to live.

White Students Will Be Minority in United States by 2044



Brookings.edu

In 2020 white students in America will be a minority. Will Harvard University have a special office to assist them with their feelings too? White people are a minority in the world population now; and have been for a long time making up sixteen percent of the world population. Where are the white people's support organizations?
Race based diversity and inclusion ignores the fact that there are many upper class (wealth and education) black humans, and many more lower class white humans in this country. Using a collective standard makes diversity and inclusion an abomination. A more rational standard measures individuals and their background. US is now run by irrational, self serving elitists, who apply laws when it serves their interests. See reported prosecution of US Sen. Robert Menendez (D-NJ) for what most elected officials do. 

Then there is the President's Wife, First Lady, who whined at a commencement speech about how much she and her President husband suffered and still suffer. She with degrees from Princeton and Harvard Law School having held a job paying $300,000 a year, now flying around in a jet plane with taxpayers funding her servants. She still whines. No gratitude. 

Just as the brothers Tsanaev were granted asylum in the United States from their oppressive nation, and placed bombs at the finish line of the Boston marathon, showing their gratitude. This woman whines about how hard her life is. She joins another First Lady, Hillary Clinton who whined she was dead broke when she and her  husband left the White House. These are the highest leaders of the nation. Is it any wonder why there is so much animosity and hatred? 

[From article]
In his talk at the Fong Auditorium on Thursday evening, Harper, whose research focuses on the experiences of minority students on college campuses, said that colleges with diverse populations like Harvard often lack cross-group interactions and meaningful inclusion because administrators believe in “magical thinking.”
“We define [magical thinking] as the assumption that powerful educational outcomes will be automatically manufactured through student-initiated engagement with peers who are different,” Harper said.
He added that if administrators and faculty want to create an inclusive campus, it is their responsibility to create programs that support minority students and encourage dialogue.

White children will be outnumbered by minority kids in the United States in just five years, new Census Bureau projections reveal.
This is the result of an ongoing trend of declining birth among white Americans and a baby boom among immigrant groups, as well as a surge in immigration.
By the year 2020, 50.2percent of all children in the US are expected to be non-white, according to the Census. By 2044, whites will be outnumbered by minorities.
The Census study, released this week, predicts that by year 2060, nearly 20percent of the population will be foreign born - thanks to an influx of 64million new immigrants.

Most Violent American Cities, Have Majority Black Population




[From article]
I expect this post to inspire many charges of “racism” from the grievance mongers, but facts are facts – and facts cannot be flung aside via racial rhetoric.
Anyway. Earlier this week, Business Insider published a report that cataloged the world’s 50 most violent cities. While most of the cities are located in Central/South America and Africa, four of them happen to be located here in the good ol’ USA: St.Louis, Baltimore, New Orleans and Detroit.
I hate to be the guy to point this out, but every single one of those cities contains a black-majority population.
Cue the United States Census Bureau:
Dominant demographic in St. Louis: Black @ 46.9% (source)

Dominant demographic in Baltimore: Black @ 63.3% (source)

Dominant demographic in New Orleans: Black @ 60.2% (source)

Dominant demographic in Detroit: Black @ 82.7% (source)

Here’s my question, though – does this mean anything? Does this signify some sort of trend? More importantly, thus this suggest that perhaps there is merit to the thinking that racial profiling exists for a legitimate reason?
I refuse to delve too deep into this myself because it’s a bit too much for me. But I do encourage the rest of you all to discuss it in the comments.

Changing American Demography, Book Review




[From Book Review]
“We believe our diversity, our differences, when joined together by a common set of ideals, makes us stronger, makes us more creative, makes us different,” Barack Obama pronounced at a citizenship ceremony last Fourth of July. Until half a century ago most serious historians would have called such an opinion ignorant or naïve. Ethnic diversity implies cultural diversity—if it did not, ethnic diversity would soon disappear. Cultural diversity means division, division means weakness, and weakness means, eventually, unfreedom. Such, at least, is the traditional view, and history appears to vindicate it. “Diversity” has been an attribute of subject populations: medieval elites communicated in Latin, laborers in various vernaculars. Diversity has been the form of belonging that typifies empires, just as nationality has been the form that typifies republics. The British Empire, the Roman Empire, and the Habsburg Empire—these were diverse. England, Italy, and Austria, until recently, were not. The motto E pluribus unum is a sign that the founders saw diversity as a challenge to be mastered, not a resource to be tapped.
[. . .]
About whether, for instance, as more of its citizens come from non-European backgrounds, the United States will change its idea of its cultural heritage. Or whether, considering the occasional tawdriness of whites’ behavior toward minorities in centuries past—displacing Indians, enslaving Africans, deporting Chinese—there is cause to worry about race relations once the shoe is on the other foot.
[. . .]
Hispanic,” as defined by the Census Bureau, as well as by common sense, is not a race. It is rather a designation of immigrant provenance that has been applied in ways ever more bizarre as the years have passed. It classifies people by national language—not the language of the immigrant—so that a youngster from the Dominican Republic gets lumped together with an Indian from the Bolivian highlands (even if that Indian does not speak Spanish),
[.. .]
Ethnic lobbies, too, mix foreigners and Americans, non-citizens and citizens, under the same “Hispanic” category, in a way that renders meaningless many of the statistics that rank their progress.
[. . .]

[. . .]
Should whites cease to be the majority, they will then become, by definition, just another subgroup. They show signs of following the interest-group logic that, since the 1960s and especially in the last decade, has “racialized” the politics of all other subgroups. “[T]he social, economic and demographic makeup of the white population is becoming ever more distinct,” Frey writes, also noting their increasing tendency to vote Republican.
[. . .]
“Diversity” is leading us down an ominous and unfamiliar stretch of road.

Italy "A Dying Country"



Beatrice Lorenzin, the minister of health, has called Italy “a dying country" 
Photo: Elisabetta Villa/Getty Images
[From article]
Italy’s birth rate has fallen to its lowest level since the foundation of the modern state in 1861, prompting fresh alarm in a society that has been steadily ageing for decades.
The number of births per 1,000 people has fallen to just 8.4 per cent, down from 38.3 per cent when Italy’s territories and kingdoms were unified a century and a half ago.
In Britain and the United States, the figures are 12 per cent and 13 per cent respectively.
Last year 509,000 babies were born in Italy, 5,000 fewer than in 2013.
[. . .]
Beatrice Lorenzin, the minister of health, said: “We are at the threshold where people who die are not being replaced by newborns. That means we are a dying country.
"This situation has enormous implications for every sector: the economy, society, health, pensions, just to give a few examples."

Not Enough People To Run a Country

[From article]
"If the problem with socialism is, as Mrs. Thatcher says, that eventually you run out of other people's money, much of the West has advanced to the next stage: it's run out of other people, period.
[. . .]
For most of human history, functioning societies have honored the long run: It's why millions of people have children, build houses, plant trees, start businesses, make wills, put up beautiful churches in ordinary villages, fight and, if necessary, die for your country. A nation, a society, a community is a compact between past, present and future, in which the citizens, in Tom Wolfe's words at the dawn of the "Me Decade," "conceive of themselves, however unconsciously, as part of a great biological stream."
Much of the developed world climbed out of the stream. You don't need to make material sacrifices: The state takes care of all that. You don't need to have children. And you certainly don't need to die for king and country. But a society that has nothing to die for has nothing to live for: It's no longer a stream, but a stagnant pool."
