Dhimmitude rhetoric casts Europe as self-destructively subjugated to Islam

Evidence

All this has created a ‘spirit of dhimmitude that blinds us, that instills in us a hatred for our own values, and the wish to destroy our own origins and our own history’ while simultaneously reducing Europe to ‘a sinking continent, a colossal Titanic wreck, where the passengers run from one desperate situation into another’. — Matt Carr, You Are Now Entering Eurabia, 37

Categorization

  • DEFINE: ‘Dhimmitude’ is Ye’or’s key coinage — a psychology of submission applied by analogy to non-Muslim Europeans, not to historical dhimmis.
  • SEED: Angle: an essay on how the Titanic metaphor recurs in declinist rhetoric, always implying passengers cannot steer the ship they are on.
