The Revised Text of Bat Ye’or’s Speech in Toronto
by Baron Bodissey
A week ago Bat Ye’or gave a speech at a conference in Toronto.

Thanks to the Flygirls, who videotaped and transcribed the speech, we were able to post a transcript the following day.

Transcribing from a tape is a difficult job at best. Depending on the quality of the audio, it can be all but impossible to make an accurate transcription of every word.

Fortunately for all of us, Ms. Ye’or has gone through the transcript to revise and correct any mistakes, and has kindly made the results available for Gates of Vienna readers.

Europe Without Borders: the Birth of Eurabia

Lecture By Bat Ye’or

EXCERPT:

Terrorism must be seen as the ultimate attack on the human being, on human rights and freedoms, as a modern expression of physical and intellectual enslavement. And I want to take this opportunity to express my deep admiration and sympathy for all the victims of terror, whatever their religion, and who are persecuted because of their resistance to tyranny.

And this situation is not limited to dictatorships but it exists also in Europe where intellectuals, professors and journalists are threatened and have to hide or have to be guarded just for having exercised their constitutional rights.

...

For historical, geographic, and strategic reasons, the situation in Europe is different from that in America, but from what I heard since yesterday, I found striking similarities between the situation in Canada and in Europe.

...

These accusations (of Islamophobia) are, of course extremely serious because they deny to Europeans their own human rights to security under the pretext of Islamophobia, while in fact, security for the human being is a basic and primal right that comes before the rights of immigrants. In the same spirit, the sovereign, national and cultural rights of Western societies are denied in order to promote those of Muslims to immigrate into these societies with their own traditional rules, languages and customs.

We see therefore, that the issues of terrorism and immigration touches in some ways, the Jihadic principle of the right of Muslims to immigrate in the dar al-Harb, the land of War (Harb) of the infidels, to Islamize it and that this right has primacy over the rights of the infidels for security and their national or cultural rights, which are anyway not recognized. Doudou Diene requests Europe to accept (and this is repeated constantly in his reports), that it is multicultural as if Europeans should renounce their own culture and national patrimony in order to accommodate Muslim immigrants. He calls their refusal Islamophobia.
