This is the way the West dies
Not with a bang but a whimper.
This is nothing new, however. Way back in 2002, a French edition of my book Islam Unveiled was canceled for fear of offending Muslims.
“Fearing Islamist reprisal, French publisher revises decision to publish book critical of Islam,” by Vijeta Uniyal, Legal Insurrection, July 28, 2016 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):
A Paris-based publishing house has revised its decision to publish a French version of the German bestseller “Der Islamische Faschismus” (The Islamic Fascism). Written by German-Egyptian author Hamed Abdel-Samad, the book was due to hit the French bookstores in September. Piranha Edition reportedly changed its mind after this month’s ISIS-inspired terror attack in Nice that killed 84 people and injured more than 300.
If the objective of Islamist violence in Europe had been to force the continent into submission, it is well on its way to achieving them.
Piranha Edition justified the decision of not going ahead with the publication by citing the threat of Radical Islam as well its desire of not wanting to strengthen the right-wing French groups critical of Islam. Interestingly, the head office of the Piranha Edition is just within a few minutes of walk from Bataclan, the theatre where 89 people were murdered by Islamic terrorists in November 2016.
Earlier this week, Hamed Abdel-Samad revealed the details of the failed book deal in a German-language blog Die Achse des Guten:
First the publisher changed the title from “The Islamic Fascism” to “Is Islam a form of Fascism?” — in order to avoid unnecessary polarisation. But after the attack in Nice, the publishing house decided not to publish the book at all, as it fearful of the consequence — as stated in [their] email — which could have been deadly. There could be another attack like the one at Charlie Hebdo.
Had the publisher ended the email just there, I could understand, as it is a matter of life and death, and I cannot ask everyone to take the risk that I take with my book.
But then came the second argument why the publication was not possible at this point. The book could benefit the right wing [parties]. [Author’s translation]
Whenever Islamic terrorism strikes somewhere in the West, media commentators and politicians always love to talk about the ‘moderate Muslims’ living among us. We are endlessly reminded of the “voices” of moderation, reason and peace within Islam. Hamed Abdel-Samad is just such one such genuine voice being stifled in the West. And he is not alone; Somali-born women’s rights advocate Ayaan Hirsi Ali, Pakistani writer Ibn Warraq, Bangladeshi novelist Taslima Nasrin are just some of the true Muslim voices of reason and sanity of our times.
These few, but brave women and men are not only forced to live like hunted fugitives in the West by Islamists determined to enforce Fatwa placed on their heads, but driven into silence by leftists enforcing accepted speech codes on college campuses and public arena.
Given the almost omnipresent threat of violence inside the Muslim majority countries, we can give up on our hopes of hearing any substantial criticism of Islamist theology from within the Muslim World. But what is happening to Muslim dissenters in the West is no less sinister. The violent campaign to shut down any opposition in the Muslim World is complimented in the West by the activism of the Left.
On the other hand, the mainstream media is more interested in talking to the representatives of Islam who are eager to talk about ‘Islamophobia’, or the Western guilt, but not about the theology behind the ongoing worldwide Jihad….

Alarmed Pig Farmer says
Smart move by the publisher. He must’ve seen the famous segment with news entertainer superstar Laura Ingraham on news entertainer superstar Bill O’Reilly’s show after the Garland attempted Jihad mass murder operation, where they agreed that it was stupid to unnecessarily rile Moslems, who are an excitable lot.
salim says
Smart move? hardly, it is cowardice in its worst form. Hamed is an active hero who is making a big difference in the Arab world through his channel ‘the Box of Islam’. He works hard to expose Islam to Muslims and in doing so he is seriously threatened and cannot live without police protection. On the other hand, French publishers don’t dare to publish his book.
I have no doubt that Islam will lose not because of the West but despite the West and it is ex Muslims like Hamed who will bring about the downfall of that evil cult. Sadly, it is not only that Islam will lose but the West will also lose with or without Islam. With publishers like this it is clear that this civilisation lost all interest in life.

Shane says
Let’s face it, many in the West have surrendered to Islam and are now dhimmis. They pay the Jizya tax with all the free stuff they give to muslims in their very generous welfare system.

Cowardice can be a smart choice sometimes. Just like South park can show Jesus crapping over everyone but doesn’t dare show even the slightest image of Muhammad lol.
I guess violence does work.

Cowardly surrender to Islamic terrorists.
But to be expected from a people accustomed to surrender.

The French are noted for their cowardice. Recently at a gun show one vendor displayed a sign and I quote “French WWII rifles for sale, like new condition, never fired, only dropped once.”
Mong says
Hi guys. I’m the new prophet and I’ve just received a revelation from god. It’s the Koran but with the words ‘Muslim’ and ‘Infidel’ reversed. Wonder if I’ll be done for hate speech when I publish the book.
WorkingClassPost says
Good luck finding a publisher for that.
AnneCrockett says
You mean, a French edition of Islam Unveiled was canceled for fear of offending Muslims and the sensitive dears still assassinated both a French paratrooper and Jewish schoolchildren in Toulouse and Montauban, murdered almost the entire staff of Charlie Hebdo, murdered Jews in a Kosher deli, bombed the Stade de France, shot up several cafés, murdered 89 people in the Bataclan Theatre, drove a truck into a Bastille Day crowd in Nice, and slit the throat of a priest saying Mass?
Gosh, Batman. Perhaps these attacks have nothing to do with Robert Spencer poking Muslims in the eye. Perhaps they have has something to do with Islam.

‘The Fog of Battle’. Such nonsense, thrown as a sop to the gullible, and a self-serving justification fooling no one, other than the left leaning liberals. Despicable u Piranha.
Troybeam says
Giving in to Islam, this is why Islam is gaining ground against the West and why France, England and other nations are losing their nations to Islam.
A Realist says
“Europe giving in to Islam?!?” the European Union has already capitulated. I have a co-worker who traveled to France and Germany just recently. She stated that if I wanted to see Europe safely, best due it now, because in another 5 to 10 years, it will be totally gone over to Islam. And this from a world traveler and immigrant from USSR to USA in the 1980s.
And demographics alone is going to bring about Eurabia. Look at the replacement levels for the various countries. Families that do not have islamic based beliefs have 1.2 children in England. Meanwhile families with islamic based beliefs average 5.4 children per family. Time and demographics has already doomed a good part of Europe.
Mockingjay says
Say what you want about Germany, but Hamed Abdel-Samad can publish his books freely there – and they have become best-sellers, too.
I’ve read two of his books, the one named in this article and another called “Der Untergang der islamischen Welt: Eine Prognose” (or: Why the islamic world will go under – a prognosis.).
They are both very excellent, and these books should ABSOLUTELY be translated into English, – and into every other (European) language.
Doesn’t seem very likely to happen though.
Westman says
I see a truckload of books in French with the title, “Le Fascisme Islamique”, making its way through the Chunnel; soon to be distributed in France. Shengen trumps national border controls.
ensitue says

lynn says
they should publish the book. After all reading is not a big deal for muslims, most of them are illiterate, so a sneaky title change and they wouldn’t have a clue… Is there some publishing house out there that isn’t gutless???
Gungadin says
Ignoring the muslims is like ignoring the school yard bully. Sooner or later the bully will come for you unless you knock him on his ass as early as possible. People must stand up to these bastards and the sooner the better.

The west is betraying , and stabbing in the back any one who truly wants to help them , remeber the brave doctor who helped the CIA tracing and confirming bin laden DNA through a life threatening and unbelievably brave move ? Where is he now ? Rotten in some Pakistani prison getting the worst treatment possible and our government didn’t even try to fight for him !!! How people like him will react next time we seek their help !!! They will never help
Mark Talmont says

the lawyer who dared to help him was assassinated
http://www.cnn.com/2015/03/18/asia/pakistan-bin-laden-doctor-lawyer-killed/
never mentioned in the “news” about the whole Bin Laden affair was that the military special ops pleaded with Obama NOT to to run to the media with the story because of the intel that could be gathered from monitoring the communication networks to see which nodes on the network got the news and when….

When they tell us not to publish, we must find a new way to publish. When they tell us not to speak, we must find a new way to speak. When they tell us not contradict their jihad, we must find new compelling ways to show how amoral and backward and absurd they are.
josetoyou says
ALL muslims read and follow the perversions in their quran! If they are not actively involved in terrorism they approve with their silence, a wink and a nod. When is the last time that a mosque spoke out against terrorism? There are 87 verses in their quran instructing followers to exterminate ALL infidels!
Muslims don’t assimilate! They INFECT and metastasize like a perverted cancer in every society that allows them to enter. What they say and how they act depends on their numbers, and they multiply like cockroaches. As their numbers increase, so do their demands and their ultimate goal is to establish sharia law.
Their invasion of our country has already begun in MN and Michigan, and there is a strip mall just south of
Seattle where muslims have moved in and taken over every store…NOT ONE of the store signs is in English!
ALL of Europe is already doomed to become muslim states due to uncontrolled immigration and muslim birth rates relative to non muslim couples (8.1/1.8), and it is now IRREVERSIBLE.
Educate yourself about muslims by viewing the following:
Google: “muslim demographics”
Google: “The forced collective suicide of European nations”
Google: “Brigitte Gabriel on radical islam”
Google: https://www.youtube.com/embed/6PzT8vEvYPg
Arm yourself, stock up on ammo, learn how to use your weapon and CARRY…the need is here!
We have a muslim residing in our White House who hides his prayer rug in his closet!

Jerry says
The recent Democrat / Khan attack on
The recent Democrat / Khan attack on Mr. Trump is akin to the suppression of the French book. It is clear that islam and the Democrat party are aligned to bring America under sharia. America is already paying JIZYAH to islam. Most of the so called affordable health plan funds end up in the islamic sovereign banks.
After the attacks in France thousands of muslims should have been dragged into the streets and dealt with . Only then would they begin to understand that we will not be subjugated to islam.

—–Where Muslims are happy?
They are happy in Austarlia- Germany-France-Sweden- USA-Cabada- Israel- Italy.

Killing each other’s and all non-Muslim minorities-Destroying cultural heritage sites – immigrating in masses.
—–What the happy Muslims are doing in the countries they migrate to?
Violence- Raping- Killing-Destroying- Laying – Imposing their 7 century culture by force over the host civilians.
—–Why they are behaving like this either happy or unhappy?
Because their Islam ideology calls for:
One religion- Islam:: One government- Caliphate:; One law-Sharia:: Imposed
worldwide by an endless war and using the terror tool.
—-What is the west politicians reply:
They behave like modern times emperors in the famous Hans Christian Andersen story :
“The Emperor’s New Clothes””
the new suit of clothes are invisible to those unfit for their positions, stupid, or incompetent.
They are denying that the enemy is the ideology!|They are telling you stories
that is only ISIL
They don’t have the will- strategy and plan to confront the Islamist ideology.

“Piranha Edition justified the decision of not going ahead with the publication by citing the threat of Radical Islam as well its desire of not wanting to strengthen the right-wing French groups critical of Islam.”
So they’re SCARED OF RADICAL ISLAM but they don’t want to strengthen right wing groups that would actually DO SOMETHING about RADICAL ISLAM. To be a LEFTIST is to say, “I see the danger, AS I IGNORE THE DANGER FOR MY FEELINGS”. To be a Liberal is the definition of a COWARD.

LET THE WEST BE AWARE OF CREEPING CENSORSHIP
More than ever before, let the West beware of Islamic Law & creeping censorship: in 1903, Turkey shut down Armenian free speech 12 years before the genocide. All of the forbidden words below were judged as incitement, extremely hurtful and offensive to the feelings of Muslims. Speaking or writing any of the forbidden words brought the same punishment as drawing an image of Mohamed.
See http://sentinel.christianscience.com/issues/1903/2/5-25/items-of-interest-
Finding it inconvenient, in the face of the sentiment of Christian Powers, to destroy the national spirit of the Armenians by force, the Turkish government undertakes to coerce it by putting Armenian school textbooks and press under strict censorship. Such words as the following have been interdicted: “Star”, because its Turkish translation means Yeldiz, which is the name of the Sultan’s palace; “astronomy”, because of its relation to the word “star”; the chemical symbol of water, “H2O”, because this might be construed into H (Hamid), 2 (second), and O (cipher),—that is, Hamid Second is nothing [in other words, someone might interpret the chemical symbol, H20, as an insult to the Caliph of the Ottoman Empire, Hamid the Second]; the word “Armenia”, so that the American missionaries who had founded a college in Armenia by the name of “Armenian College” were obliged to change its name into “Euphrates College;” and the words “liberty”, “freedom”, “home”, “nation”, “sacrifice”, “thistle”, “obstacle”, “stumbling”, “hope”, “faith”, “emancipation”, “Lincoln”, “struggle”, “right”, “tyranny”. No verses are to be published in the daily papers; the Boers are not to be sympathized with; Americans never praised; Germany never criticized, and Russia never mentioned.

Typical of the French, surrendering before even firing their first shot. Can we all agree to not come to their rescue again in yet another World War? It is pretty obvious they are cowards and never learn from their mistakes. They have chosen a life of living on their knees instead of dying on their feet. The rest of us shouldn’t sacrifice our own men for their benefit any longer.

Our country is over if. Our world is over if these animals finish their grab of control of all of us. The cowards give in, and go along. In my day the hero’s would not submit, even to torture or the killing of family members, no matter how horrific. There used to be people that would give up their lives for their fellow citizens, or spend the rest of their lives on a torture prison to not participate in what is wrong. Only dictators and cowards are left in this world.

Yes, i agree i am biased as i have 55+ years of enjoying personal experience of Yeshua (Jesus) in my life ! I am older (asked Jesus to be my Saviour when i was turning 17.
