Declining birth-rates, mass immigration and cultivated self-distrust and self-hatred have come together to make Europeans unable to argue for themselves and incapable of resisting their own comprehensive change as a society. This book is not only an analysis of demographic and political realities, but also an eyewitness account of a continent in self-destruct mode. It includes reporting from across the entire continent, from the places where migrants land to the places they end up, from the people who appear to welcome them in to the places which cannot accept them. Told from this first-hand perspective, and backed with impressive research and evidence, the book addresses the disappointing failure of multiculturalism, the lack of repatriation and the Western fixation on guilt. Murray travels to Berlin, Paris, Scandinavia, Lampedusa and Greece to uncover the malaise at the very heart of the European culture, and to hear the stories of those who have arrived in Europe from far away. In each chapter he also takes a step back to look at the bigger issues which lie behind a continent's death-wish, answering the question of why anyone, let alone an entire civilisation, would do this to themselves? He ends with two visions of Europe - one hopeful, one pessimistic - which paint a picture of Europe in crisis and offer a choice as to what, if anything, we can do next. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Dimensions | 12.8 x 2.6 x 19.6 cm | | Edition | 1st | | Isbn 10 | 1472958004 | | Isbn 13 | 978-1472958006 | | Item Weight | 1.05 kg | | Language | English | | Print Length | 384 pages | | Publication Date | 14 Jun. 2018 | | Publisher | Bloomsbury Continuum | ## Images ![The Strange Death of Europe: Immigration, Identity, Islam - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71oN-wDoKaL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Format** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The Strange Murder of Europe by Its Leaders. *by on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 6 June 2017* In 1980 Else Germeten, Chairman of the Norwegian Film Control Commission, banned Life of Brian as blasphemous and in violation of Section 142 of the Norwegian constitution which declares that religious and minority groups should not be subjected to insult. Torbay Council (Devon, England) similarly banned its screening, lifting it only as recently as 2008 i.e. after 28 years.Douglas Murray's detailed history of post-2nd World War immigration does NOT cite the above 2 events but in a breathtaking sweep shows how European leaders through such laws and censorship have brought about the demise of Eorope. It is written wonderfully well and argued cogently and cleverly. A must read.In his introduction he writes that Chancellor Merkel asked Mark Zuckerberg (the CEO of Facebook) in English "Are you working on this ?" [the criticism of her immigration policy] to which he responded that he was. In one of his concluding chapters (17 - The end) Murray meets an unnamed MP in the Bundestag who supports Merkel's policy and insists that it is right despite remedying measures with both Turkey and border control having been hurriedly implemented to mitigate some of the damage. The book is replete with such dissembling from EU leaders. We are left in no doubt as to how we have been lied to so consistently and so thoroughly the past 70 years. Islam is completing its colonisation north of Cyprus (whose north it took over in 1974) and Syria last year and we are allowed to say not a word for fear [in the UK] of being sectioned or imprisoned for hate speech, racism, islamophobia, now anti-islamophobia [in Canada] or whatever our paid leaders choose to introduce to protect Islam.Islam is taking over Europe and Murray has stood and watched the landings at Italy's Lampedusa and Greece's Myteline '[i]lluminated and towering over the central point of the harbour is the dome of Saint Therapon, named after the Bishop of Cyprus, massacred by the Arab Muslims as he said Mass in 632.' The Guardian's Gaby Hinslif sees 'gentrified xenophobia' in Murray's book and writes that it 'regurgitates the same misleading myths as Nigel Farage about immigration turning Sweden into the rape capital of Europe.' I see honesty, acute observation and clear-sightedness; no myths, facts, figures too.Murray educates and informs. We are given a good synopsis of Houellebecq's writing career especially the topical 'Soumission' and we learn that 'a typically ugly caricature of a hideous, gnome-like houellebecq was on the cover of the [Charlie Hebdo] magazine on that January morning when two Islamist gunmen forced their way into [their] Paris offices and shot dead ten of the magazine's staff and two policemen.' We are given a Resurrection gloss on Antony Gormley's installation 'Another Place' now pemanently based at Crosby Beach [Merseyside, England.]True to form, Mr Murray decorates his lessons with humour as well as illumination. 'Streets in the cold and rainy northern towns of Europe filled with people dressed for the foothills of Pakistan or the sandstorms of Arabia' (Introduction;) of Rushdie's The Satanic Verses' 1989 'fatwa' - 'Iqbal (later Sir Iqbal) Sacrani's "Death perhaps, is a bit too easy for him"' and Cat Stevens (now Yusuf Islam) when '[a]sked whether he would go to a demonstration where an effigy of Rushdie was being burnt, replied, "I would have hoped that it would be the real thing."' (7 - They are here.)Less than 5 years ago TV chef Clarissa Dickson Wright (half of Two Fat Ladies] wrote 'Clarissa's England. A gamely gallop through the English counties.' During her research she travelled to Leicester and got stranded in a Muslim area and described it 'as one of the most frightening experiences of my life." She further described it as a ghetto and "Here I was, in the heart of a city in the middle of my own country, a complete outcast and pariah." When she was reprimanded she replied she was “surprised any of the people who might object could read what I wrote as it is written in English.” The press tore her apart. Dame Louise Casey in a recent UK government report confirmed much of what Clarissa said was true and went further saying that people in such areas thought 75% of England was Muslim. Like Clarissa she was challenged and advised that integration was a two way street to which she replied 'No.' - unlike Cambridge [England] University's Professor Wendy Ayres-Bennett who recommends Britons learn Polish, Punjabi and Urdu which she sees as 'community' languages.Murray misses nothing. Reynaud's Le Grand replacement is here as are globalism advocates like Cecilia Malmstrom and Peter Sutherland. George Soros is here. No elephant in the room goes unregarded. The 3rd world in Paris' Saint Denis.Murray argues that England and other European states have lost their identity. I disagree. It is simply that free speech has been taken away by its leaders and those in Brussels. Remove the government censorship and threats of censure and Europe will again show her unique and glorious history of art, literature, music, architecture, fine wine and succulent meats and fish.Murray is a brave man indeed to open the debate with his 3 I's particularly the third one - Islam. The murders of Pim Fortuyn and Theo van Gogh are covered in detail as is their lesson 'that criticising Islam, in the manner in which Dutch society was able to criticise every other religion, was ... likely to be deadly.' Perhaps the debate will start and mass immigration from Muslim countries will be put on hold until, as in America, an understanding is reached of what is happening and the threats it poses. Bravo, Mr Murray. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ If you are struggling to understand what is happening in Europe - read this! *by on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 20 May 2026* If, like me, you are struggling to understand and fully get to grips with a world that seems to have been turned upside down and left on it's head, then you will find this book fascinating.Douglas Murray pulls no punches whilst examining the death throws of Europe and worryingly, this book was published in 2017! So it is even more relevant today in 2026.I like the way he has obviously thoroughly researched his subject and cites his sources for you to follow up if you wish. Also, the introduction gives you an outline of the history leading up to present day is very inciteful and interesting. In fact it made me question why I didn't know about the detail of e.g. New Labour at the time they were in power in the UK , but then it was all kept quiet and basically under the radar for the ordinary person in the street. Hindsight is a wonderful thing, if totally frustrating too!I think this book should be widely read and recommended because it is not difficult to read and is interesting and well laid out in the chapters dealing with different issues . In fact I would go do far as to say it should be read in schools too.I highly recommend this book and I shall be buying other titles from this author . ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Culture v Religion. *by on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 20 May 2017* If you read only one book about immigration and the problems that having a rapidly growing Muslim community brings then I heartily recommend this book, as it is so well-written. To start with Mr Murray describes, in often heart-rending detail, the difficult journeys that migrants into Europe face, at the mercy of both people smugglers and the cruel sea. And, once here, they then face another lengthy trek before the bulk of them end up in Germany, by dint of Merkel’s open invitation. Somewhat surprisingly the author is quite balanced on Merkel, seeing her constrained by the Nazi past of Germany and the desire to be seen as doing the right thing, aside from the obvious moral choice she made. Of course, the rest of Europe was not consulted over her decision, leading to tensions throughout other member states of the EU – notably Hungary. Murray then proceeds to show us how Islam is not compatible with the Western way of life, although, as he points out numerous times, our leaders tend not to know what our ‘Western’ cultural values are. This, then, is the crux of the book, how we balance our benign versions of culture and a declining Christianity against the Islamists.Of course, there is a risk that a discussion of this nature may well stir up racial hatred but why should the population not be allowed to discuss issues, such as mass immigration and the perhaps inevitable cultural ‘death by diversification’ that such a flow of people brings. Surely normal people, who genuinely want a world where people are judged by their character as opposed to their skin tone, can see that everyone benefits by opening up the debate. Anyhow, I would argue that not discussing such issues brings with it even more danger of racial hatred, as people notice the streets changing in front of their eyes more than blinkered politicians.Murray’s main ire, though, is for the leaders who continually mislead us as to the benefits of ‘diversity’ and ‘positives’ that mass Muslim immigration brings. He clearly shows how each European country is struggling to integrate millions of people and paints an often nightmarish picture of the world in 60 or so years. Although I tend to share his worries, I personally feel it is too soon to write off the possibilities of a new togetherness being forged across the religions. Certainly, when I sit and swap stories with my Muslim colleagues, I feel a sense of optimism that we can forge a better future, together, rather than apart. Then again, that might just be the liberal optimist in my heart overcoming the pessimist conservative in my brain.Where Murray is spot on, however, is where he shows how our politicians have blatantly lied to us about numbers and integration strategies – basically because they haven’t got any. His anger is most definitely not directed towards migrants – apart from those who behave in a bestial manner. No, his main targets are the organisations that get themselves twisted up into knots when it comes to the unmentionable negatives of immigration. Almost unbelievably the book contains a bizarre letter written by a German anti-racist woman who had been raped by three immigrants in Germany. Quoting her words at length Murray shows how she was more worried about the anti-immigrant hatred that might be stirred up, by dint of her being raped, than the actual crime committed against her. I just could not get my head round this at all.In another very good chapter Murray laments the absence of thinkers in society at large and I reckon he is definitely onto something here – as I too often despair at the inane conversations that fill our TV screens, not to mention our pubs and shopping centres. He then elaborates by highlighting our diminishing Christian faith and the lack of confidence in our Western ideologies – our ‘tiredness’ as he aptly puts it. By way of contrast, the incomers, courtesy of their ‘strong’ religion, have an ideology that is rock solid by comparison. Surely, though, the way around this is for us to tell migrants into Europe that many of their cultural practises, such a nonsensical ‘honour crimes’, are barbarous acts that are culturally inferior – a word that many do not like to use for all the obvious connotations regarding superiority complexes. Of course, the colonial guilt our leaders often display will render this hard, if not impossible to achieve.Another way to do this is to demonstrate more confidence in a shared European cultural outlook – ironically at a time of Brexit – to show incomers that our cultural values are as important to us, as their religion is to them. Indeed, just about the only area where I disagree with Murray is where he sometimes confuses religion with culture, as I would argue it is cultural practises, especially with regards to the way women are treated by North African men, that led to the mass sexual assaults on German women in 2016, rather than a religious motivation. Unfortunately, as it stands at the moment, European leaders seem to view European culture as being like an empty pizza base, desperate for something stronger, tastier, to put on it – the much heralded diversity we are all supposed to value. What, though, if the topping gets too heavy and cracks appear in the dough?Who knows, perhaps the flow of Eastern European Christians and Catholics, recently flocking to our shores, will turn out to be our ‘saviours’ – our version of the Prussians rushing to Wellington’s aid at Waterloo. Whether our farmhouse remains standing by then, nobody knows, as ‘we’ have already given away the keys to our house.Murray has assumed that Europeans will continue to allow their culture to be eroded, the so called death by a thousand cuts. What, though, if a resistance movement starts up in years to come – and I don’t mean street protestors like the EDL. Children who are 18 or so today, having grown up on a constant drip drip effect of news stories about ISIS atrocities, both here and abroad, might openly defy their leaders and riot on the streets. As the parent of an eighteen-year-old I already hear at first hand anti-Muslim sentiment from youngsters, inadvertently caught up in the propaganda war currently raging. How do we keep such ideas from taking hold on our own youth, with perhaps their own radicalisation only a generation or two away? How long, indeed, before our Chamberlainesque leaders are replaced by old Winston - the natural lesson we glean from history.Overall, I found the tone of the book to be depressing especially for those of us who put a high price on European cultural values, built up over countless centuries – all seemingly at risk of being dominated by a ‘new’ religion impinging on our way of life. As someone who has personally benefitted from past immigration to the UK – my wife of twenty years is the daughter of a Nigerian immigrant – I found myself desperately wanting to disagree with Mr Murray and the terrifying vision he describes. However, the quality and thrust of his arguments are just too hard to dismiss out of hand, and I found myself nodding my head at virtually every page.Nobody can predict the future with certainty but it might turn out - perhaps in 80 years or so – that we have to import millions of child-bearing West African Christians to balance the demographic time bomb in our midst – if one takes this to extremes.How long will it be, for instance, before European homosexuality is deemed illegal once more – given that it goes against one of the strongest parts of the Muslim faith? What is equally puzzling is why the Left are so quiet on this subject, as the book correctly points out. The Socialist Worker types seem to have given up on causes that once took their attention – anti-Semitism and gay rights - in the belief that Islamophobia trumps all in the victimhood stakes. As a result, the usual victims will come to the fore again; Jews, women and gays – disproportionally the targets for the extremist Islamist mind-set, here in Europe. Is that really what the ‘anti’ racists and assorted left-wingers want?To conclude, the confusion of our governments – so well-highlighted in this book – shows that all of them have put their trust in the idea that a new ‘Westernized’ version of Islam will take hold, with the unpleasant negative parts airbrushed from history. This might, eventually, come to pass but what if it does not?Do we have a Plan B? ## Frequently Bought Together - The Strange Death of Europe: Immigration, Identity, Islam - The War on the West: How to Prevail in the Age of Unreason - The Madness of Crowds: Gender, Race and Identity; THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/65868933-the-strange-death-of-europe-immigration-identity-islam](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/65868933-the-strange-death-of-europe-immigration-identity-islam) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-10-13*
