Bat Ye’or on Arafat’s Legacy for Europe

Bat Ye’or (a pen name meaning "Daughter of the Nile") is the foremost chronicler of Dhimmitude. The Dhimmi (THEM-ee) are the "protected" peoples in Muslim lands–i.e., non-Muslims (Christians, Jews, Zoroastrians) who are "protected" by Muslim laws (to keep them from being killed outright by fanatical Muslims). The "protection," like protection from the Mob, involves extorting special religious taxes out of them to punish them for not being Muslim, as well as numerous forms of degradation, humiliation, and oppression.

HERE’S A PIECE BY BAT YE’OR ANALYZING ARAFAT’S LEGACY FOR EUROPE.

Author: Jimmy Akin

Jimmy was born in Texas, grew up nominally Protestant, but at age 20 experienced a profound conversion to Christ. Planning on becoming a Protestant seminary professor, he started an intensive study of the Bible. But the more he immersed himself in Scripture the more he found to support the Catholic faith, and in 1992 he entered the Catholic Church. His conversion story, "A Triumph and a Tragedy," is published in Surprised by Truth. Besides being an author, Jimmy is the Senior Apologist at Catholic Answers, a contributing editor to Catholic Answers Magazine, and a weekly guest on "Catholic Answers Live."
