Ferguson is not a huge fan of the Muslims living in Europe, and fears that the continent will eventually succumb to “the fatal embrace of Islam.”[3] He married Ayaan Hirsi Ali in 2011, who would have never been able to seek asylum in secular nations if Eurabia was actually taken seriously by politicians. Ferguson is an atheist, born and raised.
Ferguson is at best a bit of a weirdo who claimed in an "alternate history" scenario that had Britain stayed out of the First World War, it would have prevented communism, socialism and the EU from existing.[4]
He was also a Mitt Romney supporter. He wrote a criticism of Obama in Newsweek that threw all history out the window and made Harvard the target of mockery for a while.[5] He's since been credited as one of the reasons why the magazine fell apart in 2012.[6]
When asked what he thought of Keynes' famous quote "in the long run we are all dead", he replied with "Keynes was a homosexual and had no intention of having children. We are not dead in the long run … our children are our progeny"[7]. This is, of course, complete nonsense. He issued an apology on his website later, calling his remark "insensitive and stupid". We are still waiting for a similar apology for the rest of his career.

Niall Ferguson is a performance artist, whose articles are really satires reflecting frustrations people around the world feel when arrogant foreigners (usually Americans) mind other people's business.
