Bat Ye'or (Hebrew: בת יאור, meaning "daughter of the
Nile"); is an Egyptian-born Jewish scholar, who writes about the history
of non-Muslims in the Middle East, and in particular the history of
Christian and Jewish dhimmis living under Islamic governments. Bat
Ye'or and her parents were forced to leave Egypt in 1957 after the Suez
War in 1956. She described her experiences as follows:
"I had
witnessed the destruction, in a few short years, of a vibrant Jewish
community living in Egypt for over 2,600 years and which had existed
from the time of Jeremiah the Prophet. I saw the disintegration and
flight of families, dispossessed and humiliated, the destruction of
their synagogues, the bombing of the Jewish quarters and the terrorizing
of a peaceful population. I have personally experienced the hardships
of exile, the misery of statelessness − and I wanted to get to the root
cause of all this. I wanted to understand why the Jews from Arab
countries, nearly a million, had shared my experience."
She is
the author of eight books, including Eurabia: The Euro-Arab Axis (2005),
Islam and Dhimmitude: Where Civilizations Collide (2001), The Decline
of Eastern Christianity: From Jihad to Dhimmitude (1996), and The
Dhimmi: Jews and Christians Under Islam (1985).
Her most
important book is "Eurabia: The Euro-Arab Axis" which explores the
relationship between the EU and the Arab states, and the growing
influence of Islam on European politics and culture.
Bat Ye'or's husband, David Littman, will also be speaking on Stealth Jihad at the UN Human Rights Council.
In addition,
Sam Solomon, a convert to Christianity and an expert on
Islam, will also be speaking.
This event
is co-sponsored by the International Free Press Society of Canada.
