The Strange Death of Europe: Immigration, Identity, Islam

Well, it's very good to be with you, and thank you for the softball first question.

It's 10 years ago since I wrote my book, The Strange Death of Europe, and I've often said that although a lot of people read it, it seems that not many people listened.

I wasn't the first person to make the points I made.

There have been others who have said for years that Europe has a combination, but for these purposes, let's include Britain and Europe.

There's a member of Hamas, a leader of Hamas, actually, who lives in Barnet.

There's the man who was in the Iranian government at the time that it was in the 1980s massacring left-wingers, trade unionists and others in the prisons of Iran, hanging dissidents and so on, hanging people who objected to the Khomeiniist regime.

He also, this man, wrote the book-length defense of the Ayatollah's Fatwa on the British novelist Salman Rushdie.

That man lives in Harrow.

I told you so.

The strange death of Europe.

Here we are.

The barbarians are at the gates.

Yeah.

Yeah.

yeah that's the suicidal empathy of gad sad it's the strange death of europe from douglas murray once the prophecy comes true all of a sudden it's like the the west gets attacked western europe starts collapsing and they only blame themselves so even in their last stand

they're saying we deserve it it's

A while ago, I mentioned it a few times, I think, here, but I read this book, Program or Be Programmed, by a technologist in Silicon Valley.

But I thought in the world of education, maybe the sort of parallel assertion is indoctrinate or be indoctrinated, if you understand the word indoctrinate in a classical sense, that it's being kind of led into briefed or read into a particular tradition yeah um because i think from the enlightenment there's this assumption that that education think like higher education is pursued in a a pure neutral environment and it just isn't and it's not it's not just the obviously not just the natural sciences like the social sciences for example are laden with a sort of uh what um who's the guy he wrote the madness of the of the mobs or The Strange Death of Europe.

Douglas Murray, you know, he describes it as the new metaphysic, you know, the sort of woke sort of agenda.

There's a metaphysic behind it.

Most Americans at that time had never heard of books like French author Michel Hollebecq's 2015 novel Submission.

It fantasized over a Muslim takeover of France, which over the years has become a touchstone for fears about a changing continent— Douglas Murray's prophetic The Strange Death of Europe, Immigration, Identity, and Islam told us what was occurring in real time.

But while it was noticed by some conservative intellectuals, it didn't break through to a larger American audience.

Older warnings, such as those coming from JNS columnist Melanie Phillips in her 2006 Londonistan and her 2010 The World Turned Upside Down, The Global Battle Over God, Truth, and Power, were dismissed by liberals on both sides of the Atlantic as alarmist and prejudiced.

Fuck off.

Ten years ago, when I was researching my book, The Strange Death of Europe, Immigration, Identity, Islam, I spoke with politicians across the Western world about the problem, which was already roiling global politics and seemed certain to get worse.

One thing struck me.

No matter how, quote, right wing, quote, far right or, quote, populist the politicians I spoke to were, almost none had thought much about how to actually reverse mass migration.

So I guess just he has his hands in everything.

I mean, just to review the names of his books, I just have the list here.

The Strange Death of Europe, colon, Immigration, Identity, Islam.

More and more hysterical as you go.

And he said, you know, 2013, two years on, that had done more good than harm.

Where are the apologies from Douglas Murray? In his book, The Strange Death of Europe, he just casually throws this line in.

Yet whenever our governments and armies got involved in anything in the name of these human rights, Iraq in 2003, Libya in 2011, we seem to make things worse and end up in the wrong.

Well, yes.

And Saint-Denis as well.

I remember all those years ago reading Douglas Murray's Strange Death of Europe.

And Douglas at the time specifically picked out Saint-Denis as one of the worst examples of replacement in France.

Yeah,
