Jihadi Du Jour: Islamic Russia and the End of Civilization

Mutually Assured Destruction kept everyone cool

Pakistan has about 30 nuclear warheads and although this could be worrisome if Pakistan is ever taken over by religious zealots, it would be rather easy to destroy their nuclear capability before they got their turbans in a twist over something that would cause an Imam to declare war on the US.

However, Russia with 5,830 warheads, is a different problem. I know what you are going to say. We've lived with a nuclear Russia for more than half a century and mutually assured destruction has kept the sh*t from hitting the fan all this time. Except for one thing: the Russians were normal, civilized people without the promise of 72 virgins greeting them in Heaven if the Earth were totally pulverized.

But if primitive, barbaric Islam came to control Russia, what then? Far fetched? Follow this argument:

Christian Science Monitor,
Russia's population decline spells trouble
Russia is facing a demographic crisis so dire that its population could shrink by half within 50 years. The only obvious solution – to encourage youthful immigrants from overpopulated Asian neighbors such as China – is so politically sensitive that Russian leaders refuse to even discuss it.
...
Demographic experts say that the country is losing one million of its population annually, and the nosedive is accelerating.
...
Russian women, who tend to be as well-educated and career-oriented as their Western counterparts, have been been having fewer children since the 1970s. Births now stand at 1.1 per woman, far short of the 2.4 babies each that would be needed to stabilize the population.
