Jan 27, 2023: Middle East Forum: Raymond Ibrahim on Christians Who Defended the West from Islamic Conquest
Raymond Ibrahim, a Judith Friedman Rosen Fellow at the Middle East Forum and a fellow at both the David Horowitz Freedom Center and the Gatestone Institute, spoke to a January 27th Middle East Forum Webinar (video) about his latest book, Defenders of the West: The Christian Heroes Who Stood Against Islam. The following is a summary of his comments: Ibrahim's recent book is a complement to his previous book, Sword and Scimitar: Fourteen Centuries of War between Islam and the West, which focused on eight decisive battles between the Islamic world and the West. In Ibrahim's earlier book, he described how the map changed from 632 to 732 A.D. after the Christian majority and Jewish minority that existed throughout North Africa and the Middle East were "swallowed up" by Islamic jihadi wars following Mohammed's death. Islamic jihad "went on in perpetuity," with Asia Minor falling to the Turks and Spain undergoing Islamic conquest over the centuries. Jihad even spread as far as Iceland in the sixteenth century. America's Barbary Wars were fought against Muslims who attacked American ships in the Mediterranean Sea and enslaved their sailors. Thomas Jefferson met with the Barbary ambassador, who told him the reason for the Muslim attacks against Americans was the Islamic faith's commandment that Muslims commit jihad against the infidel. In Defenders of the West, Ibrahim focused on "eight decisive men," Christians who fought against jihad waged by the Ottomans in the Holy Land, by the Moors in Spain, and by varied sultans and caliphs in the Balkans. U.S. President Theodore Roosevelt wrote that the willingness of the European people to fight against Muslim invasions, from the seventh through the seventeenth century, saved Christian Europe. Ibrahim's "main takeaway" from the book is summed up in Roosevelt's quote: "Whenever the Muhammadans have had complete sway, wherever the Christians have been unable to resist them by the sword, Christianity has ultimately disappeared."

Nov 13, 2014: Youtube:TRUNEWS 11/13/14: Raymond Ibrahim & Piers Corbyn
As most of the USA shivers with abnormally cold temperatures in early November, Rick talks with long-range weather forecaster Dr. Piers Corbyn in Great Britain about the likelihood of a new mini-ice age. Raymond Ibrahim, author of Crucified Again, talks with Rick about how Islam is colonizing the West with the support of Barack Obama. |
Dec 11, 2011: Raymond Ibrahim gave Testimony before the Tom Lantos Commission. He stated: "Anyone familiar with Muslim doctrine and history, especially as it applies to Egypt and the Copts, will find none of the above surprising; rather, the treatment of Copts in the Medieval era and their treatment today demonstrate great continuity-from the destruction of churches to the subjugation of Christians.
However, because there was a lull in this animosity, from the colonial era when Islam was on the wane, to just a few decades ago, most Westerners, deeming events closer to their time and space more representative of reality, ignore the continuum of history and doctrine dealing with persecution, and thus fail to comprehend what is otherwise so obvious and open for the world to see. This is exacerbated by the fact that the articulators of knowledge-the media, academia, and apologists of all stripes-in the name of multiculturalism and political correctness, have made uncomfortable truths all but unknowable. In short, the evidence of Muslim persecution of Christians in general, persecution of Egyptian Copts in particular, is overwhelming-doctrinally, historically, and current events. What is lacking is a Western paradigm that can accept-and act upon-this evidence."

Nov 30, 2012: Raymond Ibrahim: Coptic Solidarity: Video: Raymond Ibrahim on the Jihad Against Christians in the Middle East
CULTURE WATCH: Jan 20, 2014: Raymond Ibrahim (National Review) reports that the Obama administration is doing nothing to help Christians being persecuted in Muslim countries across the world in "The U.S. and Christian Persecution." In fact, he charges that "the U.S. is the chief facilitator of the persecution of Christians around the world today." His source? "According to the recently released 2014 World Watch List, which ranks the 50 nations where Christians are most persecuted, Syria is the third worst nation in the world in which to be Christian, Iraq is fourth, Afghanistan fifth, and Libya 13th. All four countries receive the strongest designation, “extreme persecution” (other designations are “severe,” “moderate,” and “sparse” persecution)........Aside from being so closely and harshly ranked, these four nations have something else in common: heavy U.S. involvement. " Ibrahim reports that wherever the United States has intervened in an Islamic nation, Islamics have come to power. I initially started to write that the report is "shocking" but really, considering who the commander in cheif of the military has been for the last 5 years, it really is no surprise at all. In light of the suffering that goes on in the hands of Islamic extremists in these countries though, it should be a terrifying wake up call.
Jan 16, 2012: Church Arise: Raymond Ibrahim: Muslim Persecution of Christians at a Crossroads
A recent article by Raymond Ibrahim in support of a petition by the Christian Solidarity International, urging US President Obama to take steps to “prevent the eradication of the endangered Christian communities and other religious minorities of the Islamic Middle East” provides a concise compilation of recent Christian persecution around the globe. We present part of it here, and urge readers to check the rest on the internet.
“When the major media reported a few months ago that Iranian Pastor Yousef Nadarkhani was set to be executed for leaving Islam, many Western people were shocked, finding it hard to believe that in the 21st century people are still being persecuted—by their governments no less—simply for being Christian.
