Reflections
on the Revolution In Europe: Immigration, Islam, and the West
by
Christopher Caldwell
In light
of cultural crises such as the Danish cartoon controversy and the terrorist
attack on the Charlie Hebdo newspaper in Paris, Christopher Caldwell’s incisive
perspective has never been more timely or indispensible. Reflections on the
Revolution in Europe is destined to become the classic work on how Muslim
immigration permanently reshaped the West.
This provocative and unflinching analysis of
Europe’s unexpected influx of immigrants investigates the increasingly
prominent Muslim populations actively shaping the future of the continent.
Muslims dominate or nearly dominate many important European cities, including
Amsterdam and Rotterdam, Strasbourg and Marseille, the Paris suburbs and East
London, and in those cities Islam has challenged the European way of life at
every turn, becoming, in effect, an “adversary culture.” In Reflections on the
Revolution in Europe, Caldwell examines the anger of natives and newcomers
alike. He exposes the strange ways in which welfare states interact with Third
World customs, the anti-Americanism that brings European natives and Muslim
newcomers together, and the arguments over women and sex that drive them apart.
He considers the appeal of sharia, “resistance,” and jihad to a second
generation that is more alienated from Europe than the first, and addresses a
crisis of faith among native Europeans that leaves them with a weak hand as
they confront the claims of newcomers.
