Humiliation and degredation of non-Muslims in Muslim lands.

The mistreatment of non-Muslims in Muslim lands is historical fact. I would hazard the opinion that few disasters could rival that of being conquered by a Muslim power.

Much more attention will be devoted to this issue here, though we can never rival the inestimable Robert Spencer and his work at Dhimmi Watch.

Here are a couple of snippets he reports from Ms. Bat Ye'or, who has personal knowledge of the destruction of the Jewish community in Egypt. Her experiences led her to study the experience of kuffar in Muslim lands:

“The conditions of Jews [in Muslim lands] varied, but in general it was one of insecurity, humiliation and degradation for over 1,300 years, particularly in
their own country, the Land of Israel.”^[1]

In 1997 testimony before the U.S. Congress, she declared

“I discovered in my research that the Christian condition under Islam is similar and remarkably parallel to that of the Jews.”

Read Dhimmi Watch as the definitive blog source of information on dhimmitude.

Notes
^[1]The Colonel takes issue with the idea that Israel has been or is the exclusive property of the Jews because of a religious or historical claim. Such claims are worthless. However, Israel holds every square inch of her territory with the same claim to sovereignty as any other nations on earth. If any Muslim state wants to take over Israel it can do it the old fashioned way: kick . . . Israeli . . . ass. Until this unlikely event happens, everyone should STFU and get a life.
