Bat Ye’or, a Jewish British writer, was initially known as a novelist, and later she worked in the field of chronicling the human experiences of non-Muslims who lived, according to what she wrote, as slaves or second class citizens in their countries that were conquered by the Muslims by the force of swords…Ye’or published several books, some of which are: “The Dhimmi: Jews and Christians under Islam,” “The Decline of Eastern Christianity: From Jihad to Dhimmitude; seventh-twentieth century,” and “Islam and Dhimmitude: Where Civilizations collide.”The extremist right wing and several western intellectual institutions welcomed and adopted her ideas and concepts on the threats imposed by Islamization on the western world under the title “extremist Islamophobia.” In her book “Europe, Globalization and the Coming of the Universal Caliphate,” she depicted the mounting rise of the universal Islamic caliphate and the expansive increase in the numbers of Muslims in the West, and highlighted the collusion of some political elites in the western states to accomplish some political gains by supporting the infiltration of the Islamic Shariah and the Muslim emigrants, and concluded: “Europe is a perfect ally [of the Islamic state], serving the expansionist ambitions of the Ummah, the universal Muslim community.”Ye’or accuses the Muslims of seeking to Islamize Europe and undermine its civilizational system to build their kingdom on its ruins, by increasingly building mosques, assuming several strategic positions, ensuring media propaganda to their causes and exploiting the civil rights that the western democratic regime has provided for them.

In a related context, the innovative jurisprudent, His Eminence, Sayyed Muhammad Hussein Fadlullah (ra) noted that we, as Arabs and Muslims, are facing a dreadful Satanic campaign in which the western circles play concerted roles, knowing that some of those strive hard to provoke religious sensitivities wickedly and hatefully, which best serves the interest of universal Zionism… We call on the aware scholars and the symbols of awareness, openness and knowledge in the Arab and Islamic world to exert every effort to confront the intensive media, political and cultural attack, for the issue is that the people have employed all kinds of weapons and methods of deception and slandering, at a time the Arabs and Muslims have stopped using the weapons of truth and several other methods in the accelerating battle…
