Bat Ye'or is a brilliant and courageous scholar Aug. 20 2013
By Joseph Dunn - Published on Amazon.com
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
Bat Ye'or is a world-renowned scholar who has dedicated her life to shining the light of truth on the conditions under which Christians and Jews lived under Islamic rule. Understanding Dhimmitude is a collection of her lectures and talks arranged chronologically over the course of twenty years from 1984 through 2004, each lecture more interesting than the last. Her study of history practically enables the reader to predict the future. Her talks beginning almost thirty years ago are just as relevant today as they were in 1984.

Kowtowing of Christians/Jews by Islamists July 25 2013
By William Garrison Jr. - Published on Amazon.com
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
"Understanding Dhimmitude" by Bat Ye'or, June 2013, papeback242 pgs) or Kindle ebook. Bat Ye'or (meaning "daughter of the Nile") is a pseudonym of Gisèle (Orebi) Littman, who was born into a Jewish family living in Egypt. She wrote about the Muslim mistreatment and enslavement of non-Muslims long before, at least two decades before, Islamo- fascists piloted their jihad-hijacked airplanes into the NYC World Trade Towers in Sept. 2001.

In this book, the author reveals 21 lectures and talks that she has delivered since 1984; they are presented in chronological order. Amazon's "view inside" feature lists the "chapters" or lectures, along with the book's 15-page preface, wherein she recounts how she started her public-speaking engagements, originally to Jewish then Christian audiences.

So if you have already read her other books, why read this one? As the author explains: "In these lectures, I discussed contemporary events and the general ignorance and deceiving denial surrounding this subject" [of dhimmitude]. (p. 23). That is why these lectures are listed in chronological order, for a reader to see how the author's specialty topic developed and progressed.

As she presents her lectures, she provides brief introductory remarks as to where and who had invited her, and the lecture's relevance in the study of dhimmitude; sometimes her lectures were a response to critiques of her earlier publications.

These lectures provide a personal, human-interest look at the author, as she expresses her concerns in revealing a topic [dhimmitude] that was doubted by some of her early audience members.

As she opined in a Dec. 1985 lecture: "Jihad is in fact a comprehensive system of warfare that is the fundamental ideological and pragmatic basis on which traditional Islam established and regulated its international relations with non-Muslim countries...." (p. 71), a very perceptive insight a half decade before Osama bin Laden voiced his opposition to U.S. military forces entering Saudi Arabia to deter Iraq's oil-thirsty leader: Saddam Hussein.

For those who have read her other heavily cite-sourced books, I believe that this new publication will still be of interest in seeing the development of the author's thoughts as she reveals the horror of the Prophet Muhammed's imposition of jizyah-paying dhimmitude upon zindiq, kafir, dahri, mulhid and others with kuffar thoughts.

Understanding Dhimmitue: A Must read for our confused times Sept. 18 2013
By Jacob Thomas - Published on Amazon.com
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
Bat Ye'or's book explains an historical fact that is not well-known, and sometimes ignored, in the Western world. The plight of Jews and Christians coming under Islam due to the Jihad/Futuhat (Conquests) should be known and acknowledged nowadays as we witness the persecution of Christians in several parts of the Islamic world. Dhimmitude, based on the Arabic term "Dhimmi" was imposed on the Jewish and Christian populations in the Middle East, North Africa, Spain (Andalusia) and the Balkans. It was far from freedom for these majorities, who eventually became minorities in their own homelands. They paid the Jizya-Poll tax yearly, and had to abide by humiliating rules regarding their places of worship, their dress, and other inferiorizing regulations.

Bat Ye'or is to be congratulated for documenting the degrading status of "Dhimmitude". Her findings have been corroborated in reformist/Arabic websites.

Truth Revealed (Worst Kept Secret) Aug. 13 2013
By Maksim - Published on Amazon.com
Format: Kindle Edition Verified Purchase
Bat Ye'or presents compelling history and facts about Islam's unique system of displacing both indigenous societies, as well as their cultures. Jihad and Shariah Law go hand in hand. It is this double punch that decimated Eastern Christianity in the Middle East. This book is very precise in providing the reader with a working knowledge of how to learn from this destructive path and how Christians, Jews, and Moslems can work together to acknowledge our history of atrocities, which will lead to a clear path forward for treating each other equally with dignity and respect. I have been waiting for THIS information to propel me to the next level in understanding the threats that all free people face in the 21st century.
