Steyn also argues that as Muslims further “Islamify” European cities, Christian inhabitants will begin converting to Islam en masse to avoid persecution as a new religious minority (2008, 92). In fact, Steyn believes that examples of forced conversion, or at least suppression of Christianity and Judaism, are already occurring in Europe. He claims that under the influence of Islam, Europeans have begun practicing polygamy, forced marriage, and female genital mutilation (Steyn 2008, 135). He also claims that “Danish Jews are advised not to wear yarmulkes, Swedish blondes are dyeing their hair black, and Parisian women have taken to wearing head coverings so as to blend in with their surroundings.” (Steyn 2008, 135). While these people haven’t yet converted, Steyn insinuates they are being forced to change culturally for fear of persecution. In the long run, these gradual changes—Swedish women dyeing their hair, or Danish Jews not wearing yarmulkes—will lead to either forced or voluntary conversion to Islam.

QUESTION: This is Steyn's speculative claim about demographic/cultural change. It's worth tracking as a claim made in the source, not established fact.
