Bruce Bawer: Multiculturalism, Freedom of Speech and Appeasing Islam (6 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.

Really scary what he is telling about Jewish children, that they can't go to school any more. It's so appalling that 60 years after Hitler, Europe is infiltrated with antisemites, again and that nobody is doing anything against it.

Dude, are you craze? Who are you talking to at all and what about??? I am European myself and a very proud one!! (or are you talking to some ghosts??). And HAHA why should I or anyone here have done any kind of self-hatred propaganda. You don't even know me and blame me or someone else in the most aggressive way: It's people like you that prevent solidarity between us, so that we cannot fight together against the danger of islamisation (and the muslims laugh their heads off about that).

[uknowimrightaboutit]

No, DO point your finger at the islamists and their enablers, the "useful idiots" of the multicultural European elite. Islamists are pushing their grubby little fingers in Europe's chest with their phony grievances and bellyaching about our enlightened practices which are anathema to them. Their practices would have an ethnic cleanser raise an eyebrow, but we're the ones who are supposed to appologige for our heritage and culture which has produced EVERYTHING that benefits humankind.

@andy - have you lost your mind? This is not about critisizing Jews - this is about Jews being DENIED AN EDUCATION.

What part of this video are you listening to?

All relgions are scapegoats, anything, anything at all - just don't point a finger at Islamists.

[andy7666]

@TheFirstAngloSaxon Its too easy to say that, this is what we have always been told - never criticise the Jews, the Jews can do no wrong. In fact they have caused most of the problems we see today - who was it that pushed for the leftist, liberal policies of mass immigration & radical PC programmes? The Jews & co have created Nu-Marxism at its best; leftist neo-Marxist ideologies in bed with big business, the third World imported to enrich the "elites". All the Abrahamic faiths are problematic.

[TheFirstAngloSaxon]

@DreamFreedom1 i agree mate jews are a religious scape goats

does anyone know the book refereed to at the end of this clip. ive searched amazon using the words jihad + reconquista but i cant find it.

it would help if someone could identify the author --the guy's talking too fast for me to catch it.....sounds something like "reydim ashra".

found it! just in case you too want to follow it up, here it is:

La France en danger d'islam. Entre Jihâd et Reconquista [Paperback]

René Marchand (Author) ISBN: 2825116505

[FrankinHolland]

You are a fucking moron. Have you ever even been to europe?  Everyone is tired of your propaganda. Whatever happened 60 years ago europeans are largely not even allowed to talk about without risk of going to jail. YOU and your promotion of european self hatred is what led to the massive islamic immigration to begin with.

[clauhouda]

It's even scarier when you realize that it's the truth....and our media are not talking about it....
