The online news and articles site known as the Brussels Journal, although it does a good work at charging against Islamism, it does it from a typically Protestant and Liberal stand void of other reason than the excesses of the society that they have helped to create themselves. The editor is a self-admitted Liberal whose wife, I believe, belongs to the Vlaams Belang.

They are in the line of Gisèle Littman, better know under her pseudonym of Bat Ye'or, a British Jewess. She has written various book, among which is Eurabia: The Euro-Arab Axis, where she accuses Europe of having made deals with Arab states against the interests of the US of America and Israel.

On another of her books, Islam and Dhimmitude: Where Civilizations Collide, she denounces Europeans as giving themselves up into Islamic submission (dhimmitude).

Other of her books include The Decline of Eastern Christianity: From Jihad to Dhimmitude, and The Dhimmi: Jews and Christians Under Islam, where she speaks also of the Islamic figure of the dhimmi.

While she uses elements that are real, such as the voluntary submission of Europe to Islam or rather, the lack of will to fight it off, she does so conveniently for her own interests which are not Europe and Islam in Europe, but to drag Europe into a world wide conflict between the Anglo-American world in the interest of Israel, against Islam.

You can be certain that in any of her books does he mention another type of dhimmitude, which is that to which Europe has been submitted by world Jewry and Anglo-America. Neither, I'm sure, she mentions that Jews have freely submitted themselves to Islam to induce them to invade Europe, or have used their position inside Europe to plot against Christendom and in favour of Islam.

The first case is that of Spain, where Spanish Jews were the ones who organized the contacts between the treacherous royal Visigothic family of Witiza, and were regarded by the Muslims with a special status like for example the governance of some key cities.

The second case is that of the Ottoman Empire, which used the excellent contacts of its Jews with the European Jewry to put European kingdoms against the Holy Alliance led by Spain against the Ottoman Turk.

Her websites:
Dhimmis and Dhimmitude
Dhimmis and Dhimmitude: The Status of Minorities Under Islamic Rule

So, even if the site usually has good articles and news, I would advice it to take it cum granus salis. There is no much glory in fighting one dhimmitude to fall (or to reinforce) another dhimmitude.
