Why Islam Keeps Bringing War to the West - Raymond Ibrahim
I sat down with Raymond Ibrahim, historian and author of “Sword and Scimitar” and “Defenders of the West,” to discuss what Christians need to know about Islam, the real history of the Crusades, and why the West keeps believing lies about both.
We get into:
* What the Quran and Hadith actually teach about Christians
* Why Bin Laden told the West one story and Al-Qaeda another
* The 500 years of Islamic conquest before the First Crusade
* How Muslims justify “religion of peace” propaganda
* The false history holding together the Red-Green Alliance
* The modern heresy of “doormat Christianity”
