Until the advent of materialism and 19th c. dogma, Western Civilisation was superior to anything Islam had developed. Islam has not aided in the development of the modern world; in fact civilisation has only been created in spite of Islam. Proof of this resides in the 'modern' world and the unending political-economic and spiritual poverty of Muslim states and regions. Squatting on richer civilisations is not 'progress'. Islam is pagan, totalitarian, and irrational.
Any book by Bat Yeor is a good book to read. She is a prophet and critic of the Muslim Jihad – a 1400 year on-going project targeting world-wide domination. Eur-Arabia or the Muslimification of Europe and the eventual disintegration and destruction of its Christian-Romano culture is a fait accompli. No one will dare to calculate the number of Muslims and Africans in Europe and the UK, but the number is well above 40 million, many of them invading the Continent in the past 20 years. All with the acceptance and connivance of corrupt governments, agencies, ministries and politicians.
Yeor’s conclusion is that the Islamic emphasis on shari’a law and on jihad implies and even demands perpetual war against those who will not submit to Islam. Such warfare can take many forms – an intifada by Hamas against Israel, a Muslim state sanctioned genocide against Christians in Artsakh, burning down Notre Dame, blowing up people in a bus, or murdering people at a Christmas market. Yeor has long predicted the Koranisation of Europe, as reflected in current European policy and irrational conduct, including a deep animus towards Christianity. Yeor does not sanitize the character of Islamic political culture nor does she minimize the extent of the appeasement currently displayed by European personalities in deference to Islamic interests.
Many politicians and agencies within the EU, as Yeor proves, are allied with the pernicious Organization of the Islamic Conference (OIC), a religious and political organization representing 56 countries and the PA (Hamas). The OIC represents some 1.3 billion Mahometans worldwide. It aspires to be the UN of Muhammad’s cult, a global caliphate in fact. What Muslims within the OIC, various agencies, within the UN, within Europe and the world at large desire is a global caliphate. As Yeor has written that means slavery for the rest who are not Muslim.
Dhimmitude
(Yeor) A “dhimmi” is a non-Muslim belonging to the civilization of dhimmitude. Having surrendered to the armies of jihad, the dhimmi loses his territorial rights and his sovereignty, but in exchange he is protected by a contract (dhimma) against jihad—the obligatory and irrevocable war against the infidels. This protection provides some relative security, conditioned upon a series of demeaning restrictions and discrimination.
(Yeor) Dhimmitude, prescribed by Islamic jurisdiction exclusively for non-Muslims, is inherent to the geographical expansion by jihad. Conquered non-Muslims were thereafter defined by religious rather than ethnic criteria. They were governed by the religious, political, economic, and legal structure of dhimmitude, which affected them to varying degrees.
Conditions of being a Dhimmi
The Muslim Jihad, 1400 years in age, has transformed populations that were once free, self-governing majority Christian nations, from northern Arabia to Spain and Armenia and Africa; who boasted the most refined, powerful civilizations of their times into amnesic survivors, living as humiliated, terrified, insecure minorities in their Islamized countries, strewn with the ruins of their history. Churches pulled down, millions murdered and raped and sold into sex slavery; books burnt, genocides, any building with a cross demolished or converted and the entire society repurposed to serve Mahometan masters with Christians and non-Muslims as second-class citizens, tolerated as productive slaves and as sources of revenues.
(Yeor) This massive destruction of indigenous cultures and nations by Islamic colonization from the seventh and eighth centuries was accomplished by jihad conquests and dhimmitude—a body of humiliating, discriminatory laws verging on servitude. The dynamics and ideology that drive these transformations, which are still active at every level today, are barely detected as they continue to operate in Europe’s current changes because of ignorance of their history and mechanisms.
She is right. Who can argue that the German empire or EU will not at some point in the near future be largely controlled by Muslims in the urban areas who will make up some 40% of the urban populations. How long after 2050 before sharia barbarism and dhimittude are imposed on non-Muslims in those urban areas? How long after 2050 before Muslims control most of the institutions of the state in the EU? How long before a return to a caliphate where rape, destruction, slavery, and oppression will reign, called a golden age by the ignorant and by those who hate Christianity, Whites and European history? Who asked the population about this? Where was the vote to self-annihilate? Why was the destruction of Europe and most of the UK allowed to happen?
