Del Valle 's first book , '' Islamism and the United States : An Alliance against Europe '' , sparked controversy in France and in the United States . In the book , Del Valle claimed the U.S. government was deliberately using Islam to destroy Europe . This theory was criticized by Bat Ye'or in the '' Middle East Quarterly '' published in September 1998 . Although Ye'or reproached Del Valle for his hostility to the Clinton administration , she congratulated him for his attempt to " courageously expose the dangers of Islamism . " In another article published in the '' Middle East Quarterly '' in Spring 2000 , French-American geopolitician Laurent Murawiec characterized Del Valle as hostile to Muslims and criticized his analysis of the United States ' pro-Muslim strategy during the Cold War . In his response to Murawiec , Del Valle wrote that " history and the tragedy of September 11 have proven me right . " He claimed that Murawiec omitted to mention that his later books , such as '' Le Totalitarisme Islamiste a l'assaut des démocraties , '' have been labeled as both " pro-American and pro-Zionist . " Additionally , since the September 11 attacks in 2001 , Del Valle has written articles published in '' Le Figaro '' and '' Politique Internationale '' where he calls for a union to be formed with the United States and in which he denounces all forms of anti-Western and anti-American feelings . Murawiec himself has written an essay which also deplores the present pro-Saudi and pro-Islamist strategy and politically correctness of American presidents who never dared nominating Saudi Arabia and Wahhabism as the real enemy and the supporters of radical Islam
