Bruce Bawer: Multiculturalism, Freedom of Speech and Appeasing Islam (1 of 11)

Conference with Bruce Bawer in Montréal, September 16,2009, 7:00 pm, at Omni Hotel

9 Septembre 2009 par Marc LebuisMots clés: Bruce Bawer, multiculturalisme, liberté d'expression, accommodement,

At the invitation of Point de Bascule and the Free Thinking Film Society, Dr. Bruce Bawer will be speaking at major venues in Montreal, Quebec and Ottawa

Bawer is a renowned essayist and author bestselling books (Stealing Jesus, While Europe Slept and Surrender) Based in Norway, he is known internationally for his straightforward criticism of multiculturalism and his deeply informed warnings about the threat of Islamic radicalism to Western security, culture and identity. A gay activist who became disillusioned by what he saw as the increasing influence of America's religious right, Dr Bawer left his US homeland in 1998, only to be shocked by alarming trends he discovered on arriving in once-tolerant Europe. He witnessed the Old World's post-Enlightenment traditions of tolerance and openness under siege: Islamic fundamentalism was on the march, and time-honoured rights were failing along with the cultural confidence and self-respect of Europe's indigenous populations.

The conference will address:

Hear Bruce Bawer explain:

- Why multiculturalism contributes to the erosion of basic rights such as freedom of expression;

- How and why multiculturalism creates intercultural tensions;

- Why policies to accommodate encourage community confinement, Islamic radicalism and violence; and

- Why Muslim immigration is increasingly perceived as a time bomb.

From Bawer's Surrender:

Our civilization is built on two foundations. One of them is awareness of the individual human being's absolute value independent of race, religion, and social background. The other is the freedom to think and express one's thoughts. If freedom is to have any meaning at all, it must mean the freedom to say what others don't like to hear... We can't have a halfway freedom of expression that doesn't apply to Islam

The New York Times Book Review, on Surrender:
... Bawer is unquestionably correct, and that fact is quite simply terrifying.

Ms. Ayaan Hirsi Ali, Somali-born former Dutch parliamentarian and terror-target, on Surrender:
It should be studied by all who wish to understand the forces at work in the West that make an Islamic House of Peace' a brewing nightmare.

I used to support multiculturalism, my grandpa is Chinese and my grandma is English and I myself am a gay atheist, which is hardly what you would call a right-wing neoconservative.

But for me, Western culture is far superior to Islamic culture. We should not "appease" a religion that spits on all of the freedoms we have and also abuses and uses those same freedoms for their own gain.

I support multi-racialism like in the USA, but not multiculturalism. Western culture and society is superior.

[KumarZimmerman08]

Europeans don't have to roll over and submit to Islam. We do not have to be brow beaten into policies that will result in our destruction. It is NOT racist to defend your people and civilization from intruders. Multiculturalism is ANTI-WESTERN & ANTI-EUROPEAN.

[pcgamer010]

Leftists who want to censor criticism of Islam in the West make me wonder if they've done ANY research on the matter whatso-fucking-ever. PC idiots.

This is Bruce Bawer. He was a gay man who left the United States for Europe in hopes of finding acceptance. There he found that where Jerry Faldwells of the world merely didn't like him, the Muslims wanted to kill him for it. This is his story.

[wppw123]

I have read his book "While Europe Slept." It is quiet good and was nominated for several awards. In this speech, he really brings the problem to light.
