Are we still to be saved or have we already capitulated? Henryk M. Broder, one of the most entertaining and sharpest minds in Germany, analyzes in his latest essay the current appeasement policy of Europe towards an aggressive Islamism that threatens our fragile freedoms. His provocative book is enlightening, ironic, and a passionate plea to defend our free societies at all costs. In the Netherlands, a film director was murdered in the name of Allah, and Muslims set fire to Danish embassies to protest the publication of Muhammad cartoons. In response, the Swiss company Nestlé placed advertisements in Arab newspapers assuring that it would no longer use products from Denmark. Europe seeks its salvation in appeasement, in preemptive self-abandonment.
