About this ebook
WITH A NEW AFTERWORD
In his controversial and critically acclaimed While Europe Slept, Bruce Bawer outlined the danger that Islamic immigration posed to traditional European values. In this provocative follow-up, he takes up the West’s recent trend of silence and appeasement in the face of cultural intimidation by radical Islam.
From an examination of coverage of the shocking murder of Dutch filmmaker Theo Van Gogh to the widespread denunciation of the Danish editors who published editorial cartoons mocking Mohammed, Bawer shows how radical Islam has cowed Western media, politicians, intellectuals, and religious leaders into believing that we must give up the right of free expression to peacefully coexist with the Muslim world. Fearless and excoriating, Surrender is an unapologetic and uncompromising defense of free speech that will stir conservatives and liberals alike.

What did.... What did I just waste my money on. This is the most despicable and dumbest American propaganda that Ive seen the West fool people with so far. This is coming from somebody who has study ed the Koran and Islamic faith for over 15 years, visited mosques in different countries, going to their public gatherings and not 🚭 can I say that I've ever seen not heard any violent, racist or radical ideas being expressed. You're all being lied to. Go research and investigate yourself FIRST-HAND

Great - and especially strong in the wealth of substantiation given. Bawer does not just say, "the Western media is soft on Islam," he presents case after case, with quotes. He makes his case very convincingly.
