Strange Death of Europe Paperback June 12, 2018

"The Strange Death of Europe: Immigration, Identity, Islam" by Douglas Murray is a thought-provoking and deeply troubling book that delves into the immigration policies of Europe and their Consequences. Murray argues that Europe's welcoming of economic, male migrants who do not share Western values is leading to the decline of European culture and tradition. He provides extensive examples and firsthand experiences, covering countries such as France, Italy, Germany, and the United Kingdom. Murray's analysis is well-developed and his writing is lucid and compelling. However, this book is not for the faint-hearted, as it paints a bleak picture of the future of Europe. Murray highlights the weakness of a Europe that has lost faith in itself and its values, perpetuated by destructive philosophies and a sense of guilt and self-loathing. He criticizes the elites for holding values that the public does not share and for suppressing information and imposing policies that go against the will of the people. Murray predicts that this could lead to an equal and opposite reaction, potentially embodying fascism, racism, and violence. One of the most chilling aspects of the book is Murray's discussion of the influx of immigrants who do not share Western values and their impact on European society. He argues that assimilation becomes increasingly difficult with such large numbers and highlights the differences in views, especially towards women, between Muslims and Europeans. Murray also accuses government officials of downplaying or covering up crimes committed by Muslim men, fueling further distrust and resentment among the public. While Murray's arguments and analysis are compelling, it is worth noting that he is not a moderate and is unapologetic about his views. This book is an eye-opener for those who want to understand the motivations behind anti-immigration sentiments in Europe, rather than dismissing them simply as racist or fascist. Overall, "The Strange Death of Europe" is a profoundly depressing book that raises important questions about immigration and its impact on culture and identity. It is a must-read for those interested in understanding the complex issues surrounding immigration in Europe.
