Eurabia: The Euro-Arab Axis
Bat Ye’or
Description:Bat Ye’or talks about her new book, “Eurabia,” at the Hudson Institute in Washington, DC. She looks at the relationship between European and Arab countries since the mid-20th century and argues that Muslims living in Western Europe have significantly influenced their governments’ attitudes toward Israel and other countries in the Middle East. During the talk, she also discusses why Turkey should not be allowed into the European Union and addresses the question of European anti-Semitism. Bat Ye’or answers questions from the audience following her remarks.
Author Bio:Bat Ye’or is the author of “The Dhimmi: Jews and Christians under Islam,” “The Decline of Eastern Christianity under Islam: From Jihad to Dhimmitude,” and “Islam and Dhimmitude: Where Civilizations Collide.”
(Posted here by permission.) It’s fascinating to be able to have conversations with people on the other side of the world, which in cases like this would have been impossible not too long ago. Last night I got to IM’ing with a friend in India about his country’s experience with Islam.
On the history of India and Pakistan, which were formerly one nation: “Pak went Muslim way, and now known more as a rogue state, lagging in all the areas. ...India despite a huge population, is the shining star on economy front…”
Yesterday I posted about the Jihadist method of immigrating into a society, but not assimilating into it, so that the target society is forced to change and become more Islamic. I was curious about the assimilation of Muslims into India’s Hindu society. It turns out that they are so notably not assimilating, that the subject came up by itself:
I asked specifically about Muslim assimilation into Hindu society:
How Islamist history is seen as reflecting on Islam in India: ”...we see all bloodshed in the world (except Sri Lanka) where at least one party is Muslim.”
Interesting, isn’t it?
