“Eurabia: the Euro-Arab Symbiosis and the Estrangement from America”
by Bat Ye'or
Bat Ye'or, born in Egypt, is a British citizen living in Switzerland since 1960. She is a renowned expert on the history of non-Muslims under Islam and has written many articles and four books on the subject. The translation of The Dhimmi: Jews and Christians under Islam (1980) from French into English (1985) brought her international recognition. It remains an essential introduction to her second work, The Decline of Eastern Christianity under Islam. From Jihad to Dhimmitude (French 1991/English 1996/German 2002). With Islam and Dhimmitude. Where Civilizations Collide (2002), she completed her pioneering triology on the study of "dhimmitude"; her books are essential reading on this subject. Bat Ye'or's latest work, Eurabia: The Euro-Arab Axis (Jan. 31, 2005) is about the transformation of Europe into “Eurabia" over the past 30 years.
Bat Ye'or will speak Tuesday, February 8, 2005 from 12-2:00pm in Room 1302, School of International and Public Affairs, 420 West 118th Street (south/east corner of 118th St. & Amsterdam Ave: Room 1302 on 13th floor).

I certainly hope there will be some crowd control in place to enforce proper decorum. She should never have to put up with the nonsense that went on at Georgetown.

"The Middle East Institute" is helping to sponsor her talk. Before, Running Wild -- now Running Scared?

One hopes She will be given the respect her enormous intellect deserves! And very brave of her after the previous heckling at other venues.
Such insight, scholarship and wisdom and what awful treatment from today's academia. Surely a sign of what universities have become, since the academic leftist pact with saudi propaganda.
Please imform us regarding the outcome of this lecture.

Lecture was great. About 50 people in attendance. She spoke for an hour and had Q&A for an hour. For the most part, questions were very cogent, and, of course, her answers both concise and deep. I was informed by one person in attendance that no faculty from the Columbia Middle Eastern Department were in attendance.
