Bat Ye'Or is way too intelligent for Europe. She ought to just relocate to the US....she might also find a somewhat more receptive audience here. The Europeans have already drunk the mohammedan Kool-Aid, so, bluntly, they're not worth saving from their own foolishness.

How Europe sold itself out for oil and a mirage of security.

Nailed It!
Moral Clarity BUMP !

This ping list is not author-specific for articles I'd like to share. Some for perfect moral clarity, some for provocative thoughts; or simply interesting articles I'd hate to miss myself. (I don't have to agree with the author 100% to feel the need to share an article.) I will try not to abuse the ping list and not to annoy you too much, but on some days there is more of good stuff that is worthy attention. I keep separate PING lists for my favorite authors Victor Davis Hanson, Lee Harris, David Warren, Orson Scott Card. You are welcome in or out, just freepmail me (and note which PING list you are talking about).

The Euro-Arab Palestinian cult symbolized the redemption of Christianity and Islam and their reconciliation on the ashes of Israel, the work of Satan -- a belief propagated by the media's continuous demonization of Israel, and Palestinian victimization. This cult brings together neo-Nazis, Judeophobes, anti-Americans, communists and jihadists. It is a revival of Nazi anti-Jewish and anti-Christian trends, particularly in its hatred of Christian Bible believers and America, the country that was determinant in the defeat of Nazism and Communism.

Incendiary sermons are being preached to the Muslims in the pope’s diocese. And this is no isolated case – the mosques are in the hands of Islamic radicals.

She's a little bit lax on the facts here. Neo-fascism is hardly the modernist, pagan movement that Naziism was. It is rather fed by a growing fear: specifically, of replacement of an ageing European Christian population with Muslims. (Of course, that fear is not unfounded in the least.) Modern skinheads in Europe are hardly friendly toward Islam, unlike their early 20th century counterparts.
