| In which Mr. Fernandez ponders the implications of a recent Pew projection, which predicts that by 2050 the world Muslim population will about equal the Christian population, and reflects on the fact that the Ummah has rediscovered civil war: |

Riven by a widening war, its productive resources have collapsed; its oil revenue is entering terminal decline at precisely the time it is squandering it, the Islamic world will not rise to dominance, but on the contrary turn upon itself. It is already producing a generation of killers who will rampage through its fabric for generations. |
