An Egyptian Jew in Exile: An Interview with Bat Ye’or
New English Review 6 October 2011

How Should We Treat the Muslims in Our Midst?
Citizen Warrior 29 August 2011

Many non-Muslims explain the situation to themselves that "there are extremists in every religion" and let it go at that. But those of us who have studied Islamic doctrine and Islamic history have discovered that "letting it go at that" would be a big mistake. And of course, those who simply look at the news can see that there must be something about Islam that produces more "extremists" than other religions.
