Reddit reviews The Strange Death of Europe: Immigration, Identity, Islam

There's few Christians in Europe to take revenge against.

Started reading this but couldn't finish. It's like looking at pics of a suicide.

Douglas Murray - The Strange Death of Europe, it is very well written and the author is very likeable but I, as a left leaning person, have said no to nearly every thought. But respectfully.

And then there is always Nietzsche. I love Nietzsche, he is my favorite philosopher. But his ideas - they are taunting, beautiful, mind boggling at times, very smart, unexpected, entertaining, funny. - hard to take for any person, especially a left leaning one. But I never liked it so much to be mocked.

The Genealogy of Morals - one of the best books I don't agree with I have ever read.

Hmm. Well, my position would be that progressive political decisions by many Western European countries, particularly regarding immigration, are fueling the rise of the populist right (eg: Austria's coalition government, difficulties forming a government in Sweden).

This is the direct result of an inability to have a frank discussion about the serious issues with how immigration has been implemented in the EU, because of the authoritarian left's strangehold on discussion, both in journalism and in politics. The populist right responded to that vacuum.

I can't see the populist right returning to the dark hole they crawled out of until immigration, and Islam, could be discussed frankly, without people immediately being labeled "racists" or "Islamaphobes."

Murray's The Strange Death of Europe is the only book I'm aware of that speaks about this.

>"[E]rudite, dispiriting, and indispensable . . . . More than any other book with which I am familiar, The Strange Death of Europe provides a rich, comprehensive, and haunting portrait of a continent in extremis and an astute, thoroughly credible diagnosis of the social, psychological, and cultural afflictions that have led it to this hour of crisis."
