Bat Ye'or's book is essential reading for those who want to understand the full depth of the potential threat that Islam represents. I have added some paragraphs to the original text.

The sad historical fact is that wherever Islam has militarily conquered an area previously Christian, within a relatively short time there are virtually no traces of Christianity left. If anyone can give a single historical counterexample, I would love to hear it.

As you can see, this commentary was published about four years ago, about a book that was written earlier. But it strikes me as prophetic of our present situation. Attacks against Christians are more numerous now than those Neuhaus mentioned as having taken place back then. And the face of militant Islam is more evident than it was.

Dear Cicero,
Here is a link to an INTERVIEW of Bat Ye'or on this subject.
Kindest Regards

Returning a favor -- fyi (you may want to take a peak at the interview link I posted here, too).
Kindest Regards
It's time to wake up and smell the feces. Are you listening Oprah Nation?
