In the decades since 1945, Western Europe has undergone a seismic social and political transformation. The evils of racism, authoritarianism, and exclusionary nationalism, which once prevailed, have been defeated and marginalized. Through an arduous process of democratization and liberalization, today’s Western Europe is almost unrecognizable from the one our grandparents were raised in. Yet despite this commendable progress, alarm bells are ringing. Civilization is facing a new crisis, and once again, the Jews find themselves in great danger. This time, however, the menace facing Europe’s oldest Other does not come from the extreme right. Rather, to the surprise of many, it emerges from a fellow minority. In this book, which was cancelled by its original publisher because of the “sensitive nature” of the topics covered, Harry Saul Markham reveals how well-intentioned policies—meant to advance democracy and foster inclusion—have instead endangered the very fabric of our democratic societies and betrayed the principles upon which the postwar Europe was founded. Although this book confronts head-on the normalization of Islamist thinking within swathes of our Muslim communities, as well as the silence and complicity of mainstream institutions, The Melted Pot is not a repudiation of diversity. With its foreword by a leading British Sheikh who is working for change, this urgent book presents a vision for a new multiculturalism, one that does not compromise on core democratic values and instead empowers voices for change. This book is essential reading for anyone who believes in the promise of diverse, free societies and refuses to surrender to the illusions of either naïve utopianism or divisive nationalism. Beyond its novel revelations, and meticulous research, this work is endorsed by concerned Muslim voices, as well as other leading experts, journalists, and intellectuals. As such, what Markham has produced is valuable not merely for its content, but as a symbol of concerned citizens of all faiths who are eager for an honest reckoning with multiculturalism in Western Europe. “Are you shocked by the rise of authoritarian populism in Europe? Stunned by the rise of antisemitism in the continent that seemed to have learned the lessons of the Holocaust? Flabbergasted that the apparently irresistible idea of a liberal,  cosmopolitan world order is plunging in popularity? If so, there must be something about the present you’re not understanding. With style, humanity, and good sense, Harry Markham diagnoses the problems that Europe has blundered into, and points the way toward restoring the vision that once inspired it.” – Steven Pinker, Johnstone Professor of Psychology, Harvard University, and the author of Enlightenment Now. “Since the horrific events of October 7, 2023, this book is a must-read for all those concerned at trajectory of our societies. As a concerned Muslim, Brit, and someone who has for the last 18 years been involved in trying to combat extremism and racism, I am delighted to commend this important and timely contribution. – Haras Rafiq, trustee of Muslims Against Antisemitism and former CEO of Quilliam. “We need more books like this exposing not only the evils but also the dangers of tolerating antisemitism.”  – Professor Alan Dershowitz, Harvard University, best-selling Author, leading lawyer. "Far from any reactionary or nostalgic manifestos, [Markham's] book offers both a virulent denunciation of the consequences of ideological multiculturalism, and a plea for "the dignity of difference" : the conditions that will allow the emergence of a truly multicultural society to emerge. This is what makes his book so original, urgent, and necessary."–Marc Weitzmann, leading French journalist and novelist.   “Multiculturalism is the collectivist philosophy that was enthusiastically applied in the West in the last few decades. It has hollowed out European and American institutions and rendered nationhood meaningless. It has become among other things a vehicle that enables antisemitism. Everyone needs to read Harry Saul Markham’s book, The Melted Pot, not only to understand how this happened, but crucially what to do about it.” – Ayaan Hirsi Ali, Human Rights Activist & Bestselling Author. Research Fellow at the Hoover Institution. “ The Melted Pot takes a bold step in confronting one of the most critical issues of our time: the rise of antisemitism in the West and beyond. In a world where radical ideologies are gaining ground and even Muslims who speak out for peace are silenced by labels like “Islamophobe,” Harry Saul Markham has written a difficult but essential book that bravely confronts the truth of what is really happening. This book is for anyone seeking to understand the lived experiences of Jewish people in the West, rather than relying on trendy, ignorant narratives.” – Faezeh Alavi, policy researcher, artist, and Iranian Muslim advocate for peace in the Middle East “The Melted
