As a follow up to our last article, it seems this idea of the evil foreigners is in vogue, and will probably stay that way until the economy recovers. It is just unfortunate when one encounters literature of a seemingly intellectual status regurgitating the same lopsided information. Reflections on the Revolution In Europe: Immigration, Islam, and the West, by Christopher Caldwell, is just one of those pieces of literature.
Throughout this book he refers to Europeans (and European culture) as feeble and weak, while calling Islam “self-confident”. This to show how the minority of muslims in Europe is poised to take over the continent.
Rather than review the whole book, we just wanted to point out that what makes this book an interesting read is to substitute ‘Islam’ with ‘Latino’ and ‘Europe’ with ‘United States’. You’ll realize that a simple “Find & Replace” could create a Bestseller in the States as well. Too bad it doesn’t contain more truth.
