An Egyptian Jew in Exile: An Interview with Bat Ye’or Bookmark and Share

by Jerry Gordon (October 2011)


I first encountered Gisèle Littman, better known as "Bat Ye’or," through her book, The Dhimmi: Jews and Christians under Islam while browsing through a Judaica section of a Barnes & Noble book store in Westport, Connecticut in 1985.  Reading it opened my mind to the historical evidence of the subjugated treatment of Jews, Christians and other non-Muslims under shari’a in the wake of Islamic Jihad over conquered lands. more>>>

This is wonderful.

I hope intelligent readers will send, or re-post it, hither and yon.

Thank you Jerry Gordon for the Inrterview with Bat Y'eor.

As an Eastern Christian, whose ancestors suffered from Dhimmitude for centuries, I salute Bat Ye'or for her courage, and scholarship, in dealing with a subject seldom mentioned or discussed in the Western world dominated nowadays by political correctness.

I have read her "The Decline Of Eastern Christianity under Islam: From Jihad to Dhimmitude," and "Islam and Dhimmitude: Where Civilizations Collide," and visited her website where I found excellent materials in English and in French. I especially appreciated the "Foreword" by the late Professor Jacques Ellul, of the University of Bordeaux, France, that appeared in "The Decline of Christianity...."

It is rather unfortunate, if not tragic, that at this moment in global history, these well-documented facts in her works, are not generally known throughout the English-speaking world, while Western Dhimmis, who occupy important chairs on Mideastern and Islamic Studies, continue to spread their propaganda re the "peaceful" nature of Islam.

I will be sharing the Interview with my friends and hope that many concerned people would become enlightened by the scholarly and sympathetic works of Bat Ye'or, the valiant and courageous "Daughter of the Nile."

An excellent and inspiring interview.

I hope that it is widely read and distributed.
