Anti-Islam book becomes German bestseller less than two weeks after release – RT [1]

Today’s article is about the book “Hostile Takeover: How Islam Impedes Progress and Threatens Society,” [2] released only a few weeks ago by Thilo Sarrazin,[3] a former politician from the German Social Democrat party (SPD). [4] Not shockingly, it has soared to the number one bestselling non-fiction book in Germany according to Der Spiegel [5] and has received positive reviews Germany’s right-wing Junge Freheit [6] and on Amazon. [7]

Sarrazin’s work is a “sequel” of sorts to his 2010 book, “Abolishing Germany – How We’re Putting Our Country in Jeopardy,” [8] a vitriolic rebuke of the coercive multicultural utopia that is being sponsored by the German government against the will of the people. [9] A quick search will reveal that the problem is far from being resolved – on the contrary, immigration numbers are at record highs [10] and Sarrazin says that “…everything has been worse than I predicted eight years ago.” [11]

In an article for the German Bild, Sarrazin presents his arguments in no uncertain terms:

In all countries concerned, whether Britain, France, Germany, the Netherlands, Belgium, Denmark or Norway – one makes similar observations about the groups of Muslim migrants namely:

To summarize, the arrival of unprecedented numbers of mostly-Muslim immigrants from the third world, combined with the unwillingness of these settlers to assimilate to the culture of their host nation, has had catastrophic consequences for the native populations. However, Sarrazin stops short of blaming the immigrants themselves:

In Germany, an army of integration committees, Islam researches, sociologists, political scientists, organizational representatives and a group of naïve politicians work intensely, hand in hand, on trivialization, self-deception and denial of the problem.

It is particularly popular to blame the critics of Islam for a lack of tolerance, Thereby an important distinction is lost: one can, indeed must be liberal towards beliefs and lifestyles that differ from our own. But this liberality then may not be applied to those who do not want to tolerate different beliefs and lifestyles.

We can begin to see the true nature of the problem in Random House’s decision to not publish Sarrazin’s latest work, despite signing a contract to do so and accepting the manuscript of the work back in February. [13] Unsurprisingly, the mainstream media in Germany has had nothing but criticism for the work, [14] doubting the veracity of Sarrazin’s claims, and accusing him of not being concerned “…with the peaceful formation of coexistence, but rather with speaking and strict separation of peoples and stopping the immigration of Muslims.” [15]

It is easiest for apologists of Islam, of course, to level simple ad hominem attacks against Mr. Sarrazin for his “controversial” – or, in modern terms, “based in data and reality” – claims; I will not refer to his ideas as opinions, because they are based on data and are irrefutable.

Let’s not consider the tens of thousands of acts of terror that have been carried about in the name of Islam over the past two decades or so, [16] or about the calls from prominent activists in the Muslim community to “stop humanizing Israelis,” [17] or the 66% increase in politically/ideologically-motivated crime that was recorded in 2016 in Germany [18] – the priority here is to maintain the façade of a functioning multicultural utopia, [19] and we can’t let facts and data get in the way of that.

I know I’m not presenting any ground-breaking ideas here; others have written about the dangers of Islam in far more detail than I am able to in a few short pages. [20] However, the only way to overpower the shaming tactics and anti-European bias (euphemistically referred to as “Political Correctness” [21] ) that we see so often forced upon our culture by the media is to assert the facts about Islam and the effects that it has had across the world over the past 1400 years. Mr. Thilo Sarrazin has sacrificed his career [22] in his efforts to spread the truth about Islam, and we can do honor to his cause by continuing to spread his message and by fiercely defending the cultures that have given rise to the greatest societies and quality of life that human beings have ever known.
