Surrender:

Appeasing Islam, Sacrificing Freedom

Random House Digital, Inc., May 19, 2009 - Political Science - 224 pages
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.

Review: Surrender: Appeasing Islam, Sacrificing Freedom

User Review - Goodreads

I have mixed feelings on this book. It is almost as if the author is screaming at the reader – it should have been written with “CAPS ON”! I am all for free speech but the author sees no limitations ...
