The Dhimmi: Jews and Christians Under Islam) lead to a series depicting how Islamic Jihad infiltrated, overthrew and subjugated indigenous peoples in pre-Islamic lands. Those who survived rape pillage and murder, and did not convert, lived in perpetual fear for their lives, avoided only by payment of the jizya, the onerous poll tax that saved them from beheading. Those seminal  works by Bat Ye’or on dhimmitude also included: The Decline of Eastern Christianity Under Islam: From Jihad to Dhimmitude: Seventh-Twentieth Century (1996), Islam and Dhimmitude: Where Civilizations Collide.(2001).

Europe, Globalization and The Coming Universal Caliphate:

Bawer, Bostom, Durie, Fallaci, McCarthy, PhillipsPrice –Jones, Spencer and Steyn followed which further elucidated the core of doctrinal Islam. Their work warned of the encroaching Islamization of Europe, the Grand Jihad in America and the scourge of contemporary dhimmitude. With a widening interest in her views, Bat Ye’or was painted by the mainstream media in both the UK and America as “an extremist Islamophobe” for depicting the menace of Islamization of the West.  

Pim Fortune, the murder of film director Theo Van Gogh on the Streets of Amsterdam by a Dutch Moroccan, and the trial  brought against the Hon. Geert Wilders, leader of the PVV (Freedom Party) in the Hague parliament for alleged “hate speech.” These fellow Dutchmen were either killed or tried for their views critical of the Islamic assault on Judeo Christian values attributable to Eurabian multilateral, multicultural and Muslim immigration policies. In a recent FT column, “The End of Eurabia,”  Kuper, puts his finger on why Eurabia is important:

Slogging through the Eurabia books helped me understand possibly the most influential western geopolitical theory since the attacks of 9/11. Though few policymakers or academics take the warped notion of Eurabia seriously, hordes of ordinary Europeans and Americans do. No wonder, because Eurabia is a simple idea that seems to explain the world.

The Subversion of Dhimmitude in Eurabia

Parliamentary Association for Euro-Arab Cooperation or PAEAC formed in 1973 by the Council of Europe,

  • Euro-Arab Parliamentary Association (EAPA),
  • Arab Inter-Parliamentary Union (AIPU),
  • Union for the Mediterranean created by French President Sarkozy (UfM),
  • Euro-Mediterranean Parliamentary Assembly (EMPA).
  •  European Council. The PEAC program was anti-American and anti-Israel. It pushed Muslim emigration giving migrants the same rights as EU citizens. The European Commission Brussels Declaration of 1973 “called on Israel to return to the 1949 armistice lines and for the first time

    The anti-Israel doctrine was empowered by the Common Strategy on the Mediterranean Region adopted by the European Council in 2000 and reaffirmed in 2006. It stressed the importance of partnership with the Islamic countries on the littoral of the southern shores. What eventuated from this doctrine was an attempt to boycott Israel.

    This Mediterranean policy accepts a jihadist interpretation of truce, with its substantial financial contributions to its southern neighbors, [former] lax immigration policy, unilateral support for Palestine, promotion of the myth of an Islamic civilization of tolerance and peace. Europe is a perfect ally, serving the expansionist ambitions of the Ummah, the universal Muslim Community.

    Enter the OIC-the Virtual Universal Caliphate

    Council of Foreign Ministers

  • General Secretariat.
  • Islam in Europe is given official recognition equal to other main religions of European states.

  • Educational materials at all levels in key disciplines such as history, philosophy, human and social sciences should be aimed presenting a balanced view of other cultures and civilizations.
  • Campaigns should be developed to stimulate and disseminate respect for culture, religious pluralism and cultural diversity.
  • The root causes of terrorism, including political conflicts should be identified.
  • Positive feelings of belonging and responsible citizenship should be encouraged among Muslim youth in Europe, and incentives given them to participate in mainstream public life.
  • Existing legislation should be adopted and strengthened by EU council directives regarding hate crimes, discriminatory and unequal treatment.
  • European Backlash against Multilateralism and Multiculturalism

    referendum banning construction of minarets by mosques that was passed by a margin of 57 percent of eligible voters. Oskar Freysinger, head of the conservative SVP, noted in a London Times report, “In no case does this impinge on religious freedom. This has nothing to do with the practice of religion.” Ulrich Schuler said in response to Swiss Government fears that the ban would breach the law on freedom of religion said, “This is not against Islam. The minaret is a symbol of political power.” That was a reference to the comments by controversial Turkish  Prime Minister, Recep Tayyip Erdogan, when as AKP party leader and Mayor of Istanbul in 1998 he was convicted for inciting religious hatred after reading a Muslim poem that included the lines:”The mosques are our barracks, the domes our helmets, the minarets our bayonets and the faithful our soldiers.” Most of Switzerland’s 350,000 Muslims (four percent of the population) are Turkish in origin.

    French President Sarkozy lamented the failures of multi-culturalism. Cameron said: “We have allowed the weakening of our collective identity. Under the doctrine of state multiculturalism, we have encouraged different cultures to live [. . .] apart from the mainstream.” French President Sarkozy said: “We have been too concerned about the identity of the immigrant and not enough about the identity of the country that was receiving him.” That was echoed by German Chancellor Merkel who called multi-culturalism, “an absolute failure.” The adoption  of strident multi-culturalism had been launched over three decades ago by the European elitists (held up to critical scorn by Bat Ye’or in Eurabia), who accommodated the demands of the OIC and Muslim immigrants opposing their cultural and civil integration in host countries.

    Last month, a poll in Britain showed a staggering 48 percent of the British consider supporting a non-fascist and non-violent party that vows to crack down on immigration and Islamic extremists and restrict the building of mosques.

    On account of international treaties, EU legislation prevails over national legislation and cannot be reversed by national parliaments. In 2008, the European Court of Justice annulled both Irish and Danish immigration legislation. In March, 2010, the European Court of Justice annulled Dutch legislation restricting family reunification for immigrants on welfare.

    Muslims and Westerners: The Psychological Differences” discussed the evidence that European Muslims do not identify with their host countries.

    Die Zeit interview,” his criticism of Muslim immigration created more uproar than it would have if it had been written by a “right-wing extremist.” Sarrazin is a banker and a Social Democrat. The scandal was intensified by his assertion that mass Muslim immigration is lowering the average IQ of the German population.”

    In the Die Zeit interview Sarrazin commented on one of the underlying problems in Eurabia: intimidation of Islamization critics:

    Lars Hedegaard, Austrian Politician Susanne Winters and counter-jihadist, Elisabeth Sabaditsch-Wolf. Wilders was acquitted of all charges by an Amsterdam District Court in June, 2011. Hedegaard in Copenhagen was convicted, of charges of ‘racism.’  Austrians Winters in 2009 and Sabaditsch–Wolf in 2010 were separately convicted in Vienna courts of “anti-Muslim incitement” for criticizing Islamic doctrine and the less than exemplary behavior of the Prophet Mohammed. These trials were brought by Muslims and leftist media using hate speech laws adapted ironically to combat antisemitism. Instead they were used to throttle criticism of Islamic doctrine that denies international standards of human and civil rights such as the UN Universal Declaration of Human Rights. As we have noted, the 1990 Cairo Declaration of Human Rights in Islam of the OIC rejected the 1948 UN Declaration of Human Rights. Instead, the Cairo Declaration vaulted shari’a’s legal position overarching all human and civil rights laws of the EU, America and ironically the UN.

    Is America, next?

    Perhaps it already has, but with some mitigating circumstances.

    appointing a Texas Muslim businessman as a special envoy to the Muslim Ummah. The Obama Administration appointed another Texas Muslim, who was a White House Deputy Counsel to become the second special envoy to the OIC. Then we had the deracination of the official government counterterrorism lexicon by substituting “manmade disasters,” instead of terms like Jihadist or Islamist connected to the term terrorism. We had the removal of a Pentagon consultant on jihad warfare doctrine, Army reserve Major Stephen Coughlin at the behest of Heshem Islam, a Muslim outreach aide to the Deputy Undersecretary of Defense in the Bush Administration. Islam accused Coughlin of being “a Christian fanatic with a pen.” Early in the Obama Administration, the President officially reached out to the Ummah via trips to Ankara, Turkey, praising its Islamist government as a model, and Cairo where President Obama gave a speech at the al Azhar University, apologizing for US conduct in the Arab Muslim heartland. Nonetheless, his Attorney General, Eric Holder, opened up investigations into removing barriers to misuse of Muslim Charities or Zakat that designated as one of its seven purposes, jihad, as the way of Allah. In 2008, a Federal Court in Dallas, Texas convicted founders of the Holy Land Foundation, a Muslim Charity on 108 charges of funneling upwards of $35 million in funds to Muslim Brotherhood affiliate, Hamas in Gaza. In the course of that trial, the FBI had obtained copies of a secret plan to engage in a Grand Jihad in America to introduce shari’a to supplant the US Constitution. Further, the Holy Land Foundation federal prosecutors had identified as unindicted co-conspirators several Muslim Brotherhood front groups, who have yet to be prosecuted. 

    Army Chief of Staff said that the first victim of that slaughter was “diversity.” In the eruption of the mega mosque controversies that coursed from ground zero in lower Manhattan to Murfreesboro in Middle Tennessee and Temecula, California, the US Department of Justice intervened in local court proceedings declaring that Islam was a protected religion under our Constitution. Christian and Jewish groups obsessed about engaging Muslim  clerics in dialogues that conveyed da’wa- the call to Islam – as a benign peaceful faith hiding its real doctrine and misleading both sponsoring non-Muslim groups and the general public. Mainstream media promoted this view that Islam was a benign faith evading the realities of Muslim Brotherhood strategic plans uncovered by private investigators containing a political agenda of conquest by infiltration and deception. Infiltration of our bi-partisan political party system occurred through the election to office of Muslim candidates at both Congressional and state levels, fostered by leading figures with deep connections to the Muslim Brotherhood.

    were enacted in Arizona, Tennessee and Louisiana during the 2010 and 2011 legislative sessions.  Congressional Homeland Security Committees in both the House and Senate undertook investigations of home grown terrorism. Radical clerics in America were found to be recruiting youths as Jihadis who engaged in murderous lone wolf attacks here or joined al Qaeda groups abroad fighting our troops in the field.
