More particularly, argues Bawer in Surrender: Appeasing Islam, Sacrificing Freedom, critics of radical Islam are being silenced by left-leaning academics, politicians and journalists. At the same time stringent agendas and political correctness has led politicians, intellectuals, religious leaders, and the media to appease radical Islam in the name of tolerance and multiculturalism and at the cost of our freedom of speech and freedom of the press. Bawer illustrates his points with such examples as the fatwa against Salman Rushdie in 1989, the widespread condemnation of the Danish cartoons and of the editors who printed them, accepting media coverage of the supposedly moderate Muslim icon Tariq Ramadan, and the international hubbub over a single sentence about Islam in a lecture by Pope Benedict. Although Surrender won’t be without its detractors, it promises to be a provocative and persuasive read.
