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.

Obviously i fully agree. I have read Bat ye'Or books, they are useful since they awake people to a peril, but they are weak since they are clearly written to advance a pro-Israel agenda: so smart readers who are not nationalists will eprhaps consider void any of her right claims of islam dangers. So reading her books irritated me, since she often shows naively how much she cares for Europe, nothing, since she mingles the palestinian question with the moslem immigration so grossly that even average readers smell a pro zionist rat. And this is only a reinforcement of the eurabianists positions, the ones she tries to unmask while she is actually reinforcing them. Anyway, nationalists are smart, at least on average, so they sift jewish and arab claims with much care .... Also we must take into account that the brusselsjournal has to survive in an hostile environment, where the accusation of racism can lead to real censorship, so an alliance with the jews is possibly vital to carry out certain themes without being silenced quickly and brutally. Obviously for us it is a painful sight.
