The Passionate Attachment

Gisèle Littman aka Bat Ye’or (Hebrew for “Daughter of the Nile”) aka Yahudiya Masriya (Arabic for “Egyptian Jewess”), whose “Eurabia” conspiracy theory helped fuel Anders Breivik’s paranoia about the supposedly impending Islamic takeover of Europe, has not surprisingly been lauded by the usual promoters of Islamophobia — Daniel Pipes, Robert Spencer, and Pamela Geller et al. Ye’or has a much more distinguished fan, however. Niall Ferguson, the Laurence A. Tisch Professor of History at Harvard University, William Ziegler Professor of Business Administration at Harvard Business School, Philippe Roman Chair in History and International Affairs at the London School of Economics, and official historian of Henry Kissinger and the legendary House of Rothschild, has also warmly endorsed the extremist Zionist “historian” (the Palestinians, in her world, not only don’t exist but their “cause was created mainly in Europe”):

No writer has done more than Bat Ye’or to draw attention to the menacing character of Islamic extremism. Future historians will one day regard her coinage of the term ‘Eurabia’ as prophetic. Those who wish to live in a free society must be eternally vigilant. Bat Ye’or’s vigilance is unrivalled.”
