Interview with Bat Ye'or: After Saturday (Israel), comes Sunday (Europe)
By Pamela Geller
Bat Ye'or is a pseudonym (meaning the Daughter of Nile) used by Gisèle Littman, née Orebi. She was born in Egypt to an Italian father and French mother, and currently lives in Britain. As a historian she specializes in the history of non-Muslims in the Middle East. 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). She has provided briefings to the United Nations and the U.S. Congress. Bat Ye'or was interviewed by Pamela Geller.
