WHY WE SHOULD NOT PROTECT OURSELVES FROM MUSLIMS, BUT FROM ISLAMOPHOBES SHOULD FEAR

The fear of Islam is deeply rooted in European history. But an exaggerated fear of Muslims threatens to destroy the foundations of what Europe should be about. It seems that the debate about Islam is far from over - but what is there to be afraid of? Daniel Bax's book attempts to answer this question.

Daniel Bax, born in 1970 in Blumenau (Brazil), grew up in Freiburg and Berlin, studied journalism and Islamic studies in Berlin. He has worked as a journalist for taz for 15 years and writes about migration, integration and Islam.
