The author depicts September 11 attack as one of those great event revealing how persistent the conflict between the free world and totalitarianism still is. Unfortunately, in the last decade Western cultural elites have not learnt the lesson arising from the Thirties: they are in fact appeasing Jihadism the way they did with Hitler. Moreover, Western elites are still promoting the idea of multicultural society as the reasonable ground for the spread of freedom and tolerance. Nevertheless, criticisms towards Islam have been banned whereas the media insistently publicize ideas such as “moderate Islam”. According to Bawer, very few people seem to understand that Islamic communities in the West could become enclaves for a new generation of terrorists. | ||
