Evidence: 100 • authority: 72

The Eurabia conspiracy theory, often simply called Eurabia (a blend word of Europe and Arabia), is an Islamophobic and far-right conspiracy theory. It claims that European politicians, led by France, are conspiring with Arab regimes to Islamize and Arabize Europe, weaken European culture, and sever ties with the United States and Israel. The theory was developed by Bat Ye'or (the pen name of Egyptian-born Jewish-British author Gisèle Littman) in the early 2000s and described in her 2005 book Eurabia: The Euro‐Arab Axis. The concept originated primarily among pro-Israel and neoconservative commentators, including Bat Ye'or, Melanie Phillips, and David Pryce-Jones, who argued that European le…

The Great Replacement (French: grand remplacement), also known as replacement theory or great replacement theory, is a debunked white nationalist far-right conspiracy theory coined by French author Renaud Camus. Camus's theory states that, with the complicity or cooperation of "replacist" elites, the ethnic French and white European populations are deliberately being replaced by non-white peoples—especially from Muslim-majority countries—through mass migration, demographic growth, and a drop in the birth rate of white Europeans. Similar claims have been advanced in other national contexts, notably in the United States. A consensus of academic scholars have dismissed these claims of a conspi…

This is a list of notable conspiracy theories. Many conspiracy theories relate to supposed clandestine government plans and elaborate murder plots. They usually deny consensus opinion and cannot be proven using historical or scientific methods, and are not to be confused with research concerning verified conspiracies, such as Germany's pretense for invading Poland in World War II. In principle, conspiracy theories might not always be false, and their validity depends on evidence as for any theory. However, they are often implausible prima facie due to their convoluted and all-encompassing nature. Conspiracy theories tend to be internally consistent and correlate with each other; they are ge…

The white genocide, white extinction, or white replacement conspiracy theory is a white nationalist conspiracy theory that claims there is a deliberate plot to cause the extinction of white people through forced assimilation, mass immigration, or violent genocide. It purports that this goal is advanced through the promotion of miscegenation, interracial marriage, mass non-white immigration, assimilation of immigrants, racial integration, low fertility rates, abortion, pornography, LGBTQ identities, governmental land-confiscation from whites, organized violence, and eliminationism in majority white countries. Under some theories, black people, non-white Hispanics, South Asians, Southeast Asi…

Bat Ye’or and Eurabia. This chapter discusses the life and work of Bat Ye’or (Gisèle Littman), who is widely seen as the doyenne of “Eurabia”-literature. This comes in different varieties and formulations, but in Bat Ye’or’s rendering refers to an ongoing secretive conspiracy which involves both the European Union and Muslim-majority countries in North Africa and the Middle East, aimed at establishing Muslim control over a future Europe or “Eurabia.” Though Bat Ye’or did not coin the term “Eurabia,” she can be credited with having popularized the concept through quasi-academic titles such as Eurabia: The Euro-Arab Axis and Europe, Globalization and the Coming Universal Caliphate . Through i…

The Eurabia Conspiracy Theory: Twitter’s Political Influencers, Narratives, and Information Sources. In recent years, conspiracy theories on social media have emerged as a significant issue capable of undermining social perceptions of European integration. Narratives such as the Eurabia doctrine, which would imply an ethnic replacement of the indigenous European population with migrants (Bergmann, 2018), have been a significant resonance. Thanks to computational analysis, we have collected data from Twitter over three years (2020, 2021, and 2022) during the Covid-19 pandemic. In this period, we collected over 50,000 tweets strictly related to the Eurabia doctrine topic in different European…

France’s Islamophobic Bloc and the “Mainstreamization” of the Far Right. Abstract In the European context, the rise of Islamophobia is regularly associated with the growth of political and electoral forces from the radical right and neofascist movements over the last three decades. One recent development, however, has been the penetration and legitimization—also called the “mainstreamization”—of far-right ideas, theses, and opinions in politics. But in France, the idea that the Muslim presence poses a problem as soon as it becomes visible crosses both sides of the political field. This chapter addresses Islamophobia across France’s political spectrum, which spans from views on the left to t…
