New book-The Myth of the Muslim Tide: Do Immigrants Threaten the West-rebuts right-wing fear mongers
Doug Saunders may be on his way to becoming the most important journalist in the Canadian mainstream media. As the European bureau chief of the Globe and Mail, Saunders has exhibited a keen interest in the history of immigration and the integration of different cultures in cities.
His new book, The Myth of the Muslim Tide: Do Immigrants Threaten the West (Knopf Canada), takes on another weighty subject: whether western countries are being overrun by Muslim migrants who pose some sort of threat to democracy and free societies.
This notion is peddled by European political parties, prominent Republicans including Newt Gingrich, FOX News commentators, and numerous authors, including Canadian right winger Mark Steyn.
In a cool-headed manner, Saunders dismantles their claims one at a time with a relentless onslaught of facts.

Of course, "dismantling their (right-wing fear mongers') claims ... with a relentless onslaught of facts" will only work with people who pay attention to facts. Right-wing fear mongers have shown no ability or willingness to incorporate facts into the way they conduct politics.
