Well that will not happen. In fact the opposite is more likely. At the end of WWII Muslims numbered 70 million. Now they are 1.4 billion. The US population birth rate is only at sustainable levels. It is far more likely Muslims will out-populated the west, immigrate and absorb us. As humanity fades out into that dark night of extinction we may do so as Muslims.
