Eurabia
"Europe will be Islamic by
the end of the century"
European leaders have made sure of that -- as this
hair-raising exposé reveals
by Bat Ye'or
That prediction -- by Middle East expert Bernard Lewis
-- shocked Western politicians and intellectuals last year. But now another
renowned historian explains why the Islamization of Europe will happen much
sooner than even Lewis warned.
Bat Ye'or (the author of groundbreaking works on the
oppression of non-Muslims in Islamic societies) reveals in Eurabia: The
Euro-Arab Axis that Europe will be Islamic by the end of the century not by
accident, but by design. The political and cultural capitulation of Europe to
Islam has come about by the plan and foreknowledge of European leaders.
Recounting agreement after devastating agreement, Bat Ye'or demonstrates here
that the Europeans, spooked by the oil crisis of 1973, sold their cultural soul
for oil. European leaders entered into a long series of pacts with the Arab
League to secure favorable oil prices -- and a steady supply of cheap labor in
Europe in the form of massive Moslem immigration.
But the price was steep: Arab leaders made sure that
the Europeans would do nothing to assimilate the immigrants into European
Christian culture, but would in fact make extensive efforts to make sure that
they retained their Islamic identity -- and even their attachment to the model
of an Islamic state. The institution responsible for this transformation --
which continues to propagate its ideological poison -- is the Euro-Arab Dialogue
that has been developed by European (especially French) and Arab politicians and
intellectuals over the past thirty years.
Nor is that all. Eurabia reveals that the
Europeans had a darker motive as well: they actively sought Arab Moslem help to
build the European Union itself, so that it would become the chief rival to
American power -- not an ally, but a counterweight to the United States on the
world stage. And now, over thirty years after their series of agreements with
the Arabs began, their massive effort is bearing bitter fruit: the immigration
they have encouraged, and the assimilation they have neglected, has created a
restive and fast-growing European Moslem population that is nothing less than a
dagger poised at the heart of Europe. European powers have slavishly and
shamelessly adopted the Arab League's visceral hostility to Israel and other
foreign policy mandates. The end result is that Europe is on the way to becoming
not a superpower, but a cultural and political backwater -- an appendage of the
Arab/Muslim world. The new Europe is not a light to the world, but an
anti-Christian, anti-Western, anti-American, and anti-Semitic monstrosity.
In Eurabia, Bat Ye'or continues the innovative
research that has won her international renown as one of the world's leading
contemporary historians, and provides an eye-opening guide to understanding the
causes of the ever-widening crisis in Europe -- a crisis from which the cradle
of Christian civilization may not recover.
"Prophetic"
"Bat Ye'or is one of the only analysts in the world
with the courage and insight necessary to state clearly what is happening in
Europe today. Her account of the betrayal by the European powers of their own
identity and history will stand for future historians as a cautionary tale of
cultural suicide." -- Robert Spencer, author, The Politically Incorrect Guide
to Islam (and the Crusades)
"Provocative and disturbing. . . . With all the drama
of a master writer, Bat Ye'or presents a wide range of historical and
contemporary documents and facts to tell the story of how the European Union is
being subverted by Islamic hostility to the very ethics and values of Europe
itself." -- Sir Martin Gilbert, author, Churchill: A Life and The
First World War: A Complete History
"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." -- Daniel Pipes, author, Militant Islam Reaches America
"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, author, Empire: The Rise and Demise of the
British World Order and the Lessons for Global Power
