Javier Solana and the Barcelona Declaration (1995)

The construction of Europe-Arabia (Eurabia) came to a temporary halt in 1979 at the request of the EEC's partner, the Arab League, following the Camp David Agreements between Egypt and Israel, which resulted in the expulsion of Egypt from the League, splitting the Arab camp. Further attempts to re-launch the dialogue after Egypt's readmission in 1989 ended in 1990.

However, the Euro-Arab Dialogue (EAD) had become the foundation stone for the Islamisation of Europe and once the process had been set in motion, it was carried on by new initiatives, officially by Spain and France, but covertly by the same elements with links to the Fabian Society and associated political and financial interests.

A key figure in Europe's Islamisation process has been Javier Solana, a nephew of Spanish historian Salvador de Madariaga who was an official of the Milner-Fabian League of Nations and speaker under Fabian auspices (Martin, p. 459). Solana graduated from the Socialist hotbed Complutense University of Madrid and from 1965 to 1971 studied at various Fabian-dominated universities in the USA on a Fulbright scholarship.

The Fulbright programme was a left-wing project operated by the US State Department's Rockefeller-dominated Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs (ECA), a cultural internationalist outfit whose first head was Assistant State Secretary for Education and Culture, Philip H Coombs. Coombs was the director for education at the Rockefeller-controlled Ford Foundation, founded the International Institute for Educational Planning, and served as adviser to the U.N. Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation (UNESCO), the cultural agency of the U.N. working for "international collaboration" through education, science and culture, whose first director-general was the British Fabian Julian Huxley.

On his return to Spain, Solana joined Felipe Gonzales' Socialist government as Culture and later Education Minister in the 1980s, followed by a post as Foreign Minister from 1992. In that capacity, and while Spain held the European Union presidency, Solana in 1995 convened the First Euro-Mediterranean Conference of E.U. Foreign Ministers at which it was resolved to achieve cultural and economic unity with the Muslim countries of North Africa and the Middle East, for which purpose the conference established the Euro-Mediterranean Partnership (EMP), based on the Barcelona Declaration.

The worldwide proliferation of Fabian-inspired think-thanks, started in the 1970s, ensured the steady spread of Fabian thinking throughout Europe, including Spain, where the Barcelona Centre for International Affairs (CIDOB) was founded in 1973. As one of Spain's most influential think-tanks, CIDOB pioneered Arab World Studies in Catalonia and is one of the institutions training researchers working in the field who are at the forefront of Europe's Islamisation movement.

In 2000, the Catalan Socialist Narcis Serra, a former LSE research fellow and later Spanish Defence Minister and Vice-President of the Government, was appointed president of CIDOB. Serra was later joined by Jordi Vaquer i Fanes as director of the foundation. Vaquer holds a PhD in International Relations from the LSE where he wrote a thesis entitled "Spanish Policy towards Morocco (1986-2002): The Impact of EC/EU Membership".

In 2004, CIDOB president Serra, whose main interests are global governance and foreign policy, set up the Barcelona Institute for International Studies (IBEI) which employs leading pro-Islamic figures such as LSE graduate Fred Halliday, author of "Islam and the Myth of Confrontation", (2003), for purposes of subversion and propaganda.

CIDOB collaborates with other pro-Islamic organisations like:

• The Royal Elcano Institute (established in 2001 after the model of Chatham House/RIIA)
• Asia House (est. 2001)
• European Institute of the Mediterranean (IEMed, est. 2002)
• Arab House and International Institute of Arab and Islamic World Studies (CA-IEAM, est. 2006)
• Mediterranean House (est. 2009), etc.

CIDOB enjoys among others the support of the Spanish Ministry of Foreign Affairs (responsible for the creation of all of the above), the EU, Spanish Agency of International Cooperation, Spanish Ministry of Defence, Catalan Government, Barcelona City Council and a wide network of related authorities, organisations and institutions in Spain and other Mediterranean countries (especially Italy and France) involved in the Islamisation process.

CIDOB is also responsible for a number of prominent publications promoting Islamisation under the guise of "understanding", "dialogue", etc., such as the annual Mediterranean Yearbook, Bibliographical Bulletin of the Arab World and CIDOB Magazine of Foreign Affairs.

In particular, CIDOB and similar Continental organisations set up or infiltrated by the LSE and other Fabian-controlled outfits, are partners of the Anna Lindh Euro-Mediterranean Foundation for the Dialogue between Cultures (ALF), set up in May 2004 at the Mid-Term Meeting of Euro-Mediterranean Foreign Ministers in Dublin with the object of promoting cultural and religious links between Europe and the Islamic Arab world. With a budget of €5 million, ALF has been able to set up branches in 43 countries operating at the centre of a network of over 2000 like-minded organisations. A number of LSE teachers and graduates around the world have received the Anna Lindh award for the study of European foreign policy on pro-Islamisation lines.

Union for the Mediterranean (2008)

While thousands of think-tanks and other organisations have been quietly preparing the ground for the scientific "justification" and psychological acceptance of Islamisation, its latest political implementation is exemplified by the Mediterranean Union (a.k.a. Union for the Mediterranean) which expressly aims to achieve the political, economic and cultural union of the E.U with Islamic North Africa and the Middle East.

The project was launched by French President Nicolas Sarkozy during his 2007 presidential campaign and was officially announced at the Summit for the Mediterranean, Paris, on 13 July 2008, which was attended by 43 heads of state and government as well as by Amr Moussa of the Arab League; Ekmeleddin Ihsanoglu of the Organisation of the Islamic Conference (OIC); Jorge Sampaio of Alliance of Civilisations (AoC); and Andre Azoulay of the Anna Lindh Foundation (ALF).

Sarkozy's special adviser, who later became head of the Inter-ministerial Mission of the Union for the Mediterranean, was Henri Guaino, professor at the Paris Institute of Political Studies (IEP Paris), where Sarkozy was a student in 1979-81. The Paris Institute is an organisation run by the National Foundation of Political Science (FNSP), an outfit funded by the Rockefeller Foundation, and operates in partnership with other Rockefeller-associated outfits like the London School of Economics and the School of International and Public Affairs of Columbia University (of which Barack Obama is a graduate).

The Union for the Mediterranean (UfM) project has enjoyed the full backing of the usual left-wing financial and academic interests. Already in September 2007, the Rockefeller-controlled Harvard Management Company (HMC), a subsidiary of Harvard which invests the university's $32 billion endowment, launched its Middle East North Africa (MENA) Opportunities Fund in collaboration with the Egyptian private investment bank EFG Hermes, a founding member of the financial facility that bankrolls the Euro-Med project, the InfraMed Infrastructure Fund (Saleh, 2009).

EFG Hermes' co-CEO was Yasser El-Mallawany, former manager of the Rockefellers' Chase National Bank of Egypt, while the advisory committee of the MENA Opportunities Fund itself included Harvard Management Co. CEO Mohamed El-Erian, as well as Lord Jacob Rothschild, chairman, and Andrew Knight, director, of Rothschild Investment Trust Capital Partners (RITCP). The board of directors of EFG Hermes Holding Co. includes figures with links to the Fabian LSE such as Thomas S. Volpe, economics graduate of Harvard and LSE and Charles McVeigh III, former member of the LSE financial markets committee.

Just under four months following the official launch of the UfM project, on 7-9 November 2008, the European section of the Rockefellers' Trilateral Commission held a meeting in Paris, chaired by LSE chairman Peter Sutherland. Its summary stated that Mr. Obama's election was "setting the stage for a broader change worldwide"; that France was undergoing a similar situation while playing an active role in the change of the EU; that this "new thrust" was expressed, among other things, by the Mediterranean Union, and the initiatives taken "to harness financial and economic turmoil with efficient solutions"; and concluded that the Euro-Med Project was intended as "a model for the World" (Trilateral Commission, Meeting Summary).

Indeed, in his Cairo speech of 4 June 2009 entitled "A New Beginning", in which he addressed the Muslim world, U.S. President Barack Obama praised Islam's "tradition of tolerance" in Muslim-occupied Spain, welcomed Turkey's leadership in the pro-Islamic Alliance of Civilisations (AoC) project and announced a "new beginning between the United States and Muslims around the world." In December 2012, he appointed Mohamed El-Erian (see above) chair of his Global Development Council (Leondis, 2012).

Labour Party Initiatives

Britain's own Fabian Socialist regime had been involved in the Islamisation effort long before Sarkozy's initiative:

* In 2004, Fabian Foreign Secretary Jack Straw set up the Engaging with the Islamic World (EIW) Group as a department of the Foreign Office. By 2006, the group had a yearly budget of £8.5 million and supported the work of radical Islamists in the Middle East.

* In December 2004, in an address to the House of Commons, Fabian Prime Minister Tony Blair spoke in favour of Turkey's entry into the European Union, welcoming the decision to begin entry negotiations as "a hugely important and welcome moment for Europe" and as the achievement of "an historic British objective" (Hansard, 20 Dec. 2004, cc. 1919-20).

* In October 2005, Fabian Foreign Secretary Jack Straw chaired the EU General Affairs Council meeting with Turkey's entry into the EU "at the top of his list" (Straw, p. 427).

* In November 2005, Fabian Prime Minister (and European President) Tony Blair presided over the Tenth Anniversary of the Euro-Mediterranean Conference, Barcelona.

* In January 2006, under Fabian Foreign Secretary Jack Straw, the Foreign Office's EIW Group launched the Festival of Muslim Cultures which ran until July 2007.

* In July 2006, under Fabian Foreign Secretary Margaret Beckett, the Foreign Office's EIW Group sponsored and facilitated a large gathering of European Islamist organisations in Turkey which concluded that all Muslims in Europe should abide by the Koran as a means of "enriching Europe" and setting an example for non-Muslims to follow.

* In August 2006, in his Speech to the World Affairs Council in Los Angeles, Fabian Prime Minister Tony Blair praised the Koran as "progressive" and described medieval Muslim lands as "the standard-bearers of tolerance." He later reaffirmed his belief that Islam was a "welcome contrast with the state of Christianity" and that "until around the European Renaissance, Islam was the greater repository of civilised thought" (Blair, 2011, p. 347). Needless to say, it is precisely such (unfounded) statements by Western leaders that play into the hands of Islamists.

* In November 2007, at the Opening Ceremony at the Bruges Campus, College of Europe, Bruges, Fabian Foreign Secretary David Miliband spoke in favour of unbreakable ties with Europe's Muslim neighbour countries and inclusion of Turkey, the Middle East and North Africa, and stressed the need of developing shared institutions to overcome religious and cultural divides between Europe and Muslim countries. (see "EU should expand beyond Europe", BBC News, 15 Nov. 2007)

Labour's pro-Muslim policies are not only well-known, but have been admitted by prominent Muslim members of the party such as Sadiq Khan - a member of the Fabian Society executive, who in May 2010 declared that "Labour is, and has always been the Party of British Muslims". ("Khan: Labour's the only way forward for British Muslims", Left Foot Forward, 3 May 2010). Indeed, in January 2013, Miliband appointed Khan Shadow Minister for London and leader of Labour's election campaign.

Clearly, there has been active participation by leading Fabians in an orchestrated international drive to:

• Cover up Islam's traditional hostility to the Western world.
• Construct Islam as a "progressive" system.
• Promote Muslim domination of medieval Christian countries as a "model" for the future.
• Enforce progressively closer political, economic and cultural union of Europe with the Islamic world.
• Promote Muslim culture in Britain and abroad.
• Appoint Muslims to key positions in political, financial and other influential organisations.

LSE Centre for Middle Eastern Studies

The Fabians' London School of Economics itself with its closely linked Department of International Relations and European Institute has been running "research", courses, seminars, workshops, lectures and other events promoting "advanced thinking" on the EU and EU-Muslim relations. In 2010, a new pro-Islamic outfit going by the name of "Centre for Middle Eastern Studies" was added to the LSE arsenal.

The pro-Islamic stand of the LSE and related academic institutions is demonstrated by their receipt of vast sums of money from Islamic regimes (Pollard, 2011). As shown above, LSE chairman Peter Sutherland is a key promoter of Islamisation in Europe. In an address to the International Eucharistic Congress in June 2012, Sutherland declared that expecting Muslims to adapt to Western culture is "negativism" (Sutherland, 2012, p.8). A few days later, he infamously called on the European Union to "do its best" to "undermine the homogeneity" of member states (Select Committee on the European Union, p. 25).

The LSE's close links to subversive Islamic regimes were further exposed in 2011 when leaked diplomatic cables revealed that the son of Libyan dictator Gaddafi, Saif al-Islam, had arranged for 400 "future leaders" of Libya to receive leadership and management training at the LSE (Roberts, 2011).

[ Saif Gaddafi himself had received a Ph.D. in "global governance" from LSE in 2008, and socialized with Nathaniel Rothschild and Peter Mandelson in London. See Guardian article, 2011-02-21 --ed]

Meanwhile, on 7 March 2013, Chatham House held a conference entitled "Understanding Counter-Jihad Extremism" purporting to discuss groups opposed to Islamisation like the English Defence League (EDL), which are deemed "extremist." With Fabian speakers like Sunder Katwala, Gavin Shuker (MP for Luton South) and their collaborator and Chatham House associate fellow Matthew Goodwin, the conference was a Fabian event and clearly exposes the Fabian Society as a trend-setter for establishment disapproval of the British public's legitimate opposition to Islamisation.
