Europe, Globalization, and the Coming of the Universal Caliphate [Paperback]

Bat Ye'or (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: July 27, 2011

The scope and the theme of the book is to analyze the modern political trends and strategies that are leading to major changes in Western civilization, America included, since the OIC strategy targets America also. Learning from the European experience is crucial for Americans. Moreover this evolution is inscribed in the historical movement of Islamic theology and expansionism. It is not fortuitous but it has its own theological and political structure that must be known in the West if we wish to live in a peaceful world.

Editorial Reviews

Review

Praise for Eurabia:

[No] book explains the European Muslim situation more ably than Eurabia: The Euro-Arab Axis...It's hard to overstate this book's importance...Eurabia is eye-opening and required reading for anyone seriously interested in understanding Europe's current predicament and its probably fate. (Bruce Bawer Hudson Review, Winter 2006 )

Praise for Bat Ye'or:
"Bat Ye'or has traced a nearly secret history of Europe over the past thirty years, convincingly showing how the Euro-Arab dialogue has blossomed from a minor discussion group into the engine for the continent's Islamization. In delineating this phenomenon, she also provides the intellectual resources with which to resist it. Will her message be listened to?" —Daniel Pipes
"No writer has done more than Bat Ye'or to draw attention to the menacing character of Islamic extremism. Future historians will one day regard her coinage of the term 'Eurabia' as prophetic. Those who wish to live in a free society must be eternally vigilant. Bat Ye'or's vigilance is unrivalled." —Niall Ferguson
"Ordinary people who are still in the dark about the way the Euro-Arab Dialogue is refashioning their lives may one day rebel, in which case Bat Ye'or and this book will seem prophetic. Or they may sink helplessly into dhimmitude, in which case Bat Ye'or will be ignored and her book unobtainable. Either way, she is a Cassandra, a brave and far-sighted spirit." —David Pryce-Jones

It is an essential introduction to The Decline of Eastern Christianity under Islam. From Jihad to Dhimmitude (1996), whose publication in French (1991) established the author's reputation as a pioneer researcher on "dhimmitude." Islam and Dhimmitude: Where Civilizations Collide (2001) opened-up new ground , and her latest analysis of the transformation of Europe into "Eurabia" was hailed as prophetic. Eurabia: The Euro-Arab Axis (2005) has been printed nine times and has been published in French, Italian, Dutch, and Hebrew.

5.0 out of 5 stars A warning to the West that may be too late November 11, 2011

By Arius

Format:Hardcover

Bat Ye'or documents the networks and organizations that are guiding the descent of the West into dhimmitude. This book will shock you in the West unless you are addicted to blinding self hatred. I just finished reading it and am so stunned that I cannot write a lengthy review at this time.

5.0 out of 5 stars A very important and timely study October 26, 2012

By Anne

Format:Paperback

Like Eurabia, this book is an important and timely study documenting the gradual takeover of European society and culture by Islam. It becomes clear from the evidence provided that this is no exaggeration. Europe's population growth largely driven by immigration from Muslim Africa, Asia and the Middle East together with high birth rates in Europe's Muslim communities ensure the steady rise of Islam on European soil. Bat Ye'or rightly lays emphasis on showing that this development is exacerbated by the zealous collaboration of Europe's economic, financial and political elites with oil-rich Islamist regimes for whom the conversion of Europe to Islam is a religious duty. However, whilst pointing out that the all-pervading system of EU-UN-Arab organizations is dictated by economic interests and high finance, she contents herself with stating, for example, that French President Nicolas Sarkozy was responsible for the Union for the Mediterranean (UfM) project aiming to merge the EU with North Africa and the Middle East and for the Diversity programme promoting Muslim immigrants in France. As shown by Ioan Ratiu in The Milner-Fabian Conspiracy, Sarkozy's advisor for the UfM project was Banque Rothschild associate Olivier Stirn. Another Rothschild associate, François Pérol, was the architect of Sarkozy's economic programme. Lord Rothschild and Andrew Knight of Rothschild Investment Trust Capital Partners were on the advisory committee of the Middle East North Africa Opportunities Trust, a partner of Rockefeller interests as well as of the Inframed Infrastructure Fund, the financial facility for Sarkozy's UfM project. Such details would lend a more complete perspective to the Islamization process and it is to be hoped that authors like Bat Ye'or will endeavour to include some of them in their future works.
