“The decisive shift in European policy came as a result of the oil crisis of 
1973 when the European Economic Community (EEC), at the initiative of France 
and the Arab League, established the Euro-Arab Dialogue (EAD).  Since then, the 
EAD has been in the vanguard of engineering a convergence between Europe and 
the Islamic states of North Africa and the Middle East.  The EAD promotes a 
specific conception of international politics that determines Europe’s 
relations with the Arab/Muslim world, and with America and Israel.  It has also 
formulated a vision of European history, religion and culture, both past and 
future.  Under the rubric of ‘dialogue,’ the EEC and its Arab League 
partner created a formidable political and legal superstructure that 
encompasses the entire Euro-Arab relationship and fostered increased joint 
Euro-Arab diplomatic initiatives."

It seems to me that this is very succinct description of a conspiracy theory. I 
suppose it's only fair that the right should have one of their own to get 
excited about. 

More later.
