Did European Colonialism Undermine Islam? Feb 21, 2026

Show notes

In his book, 'Crusade and Jihad: The Thousand-Year War between the Muslim World and the Global North,' William Polk argues that the colonial era is the source of all problems between Islam and the West -- including terrorism. Here we examine and rebut this claim. This video is essentially Part 2 of a review of his book.

What Is 'Crusade and Jihad' Missing? Feb 21, 2026

Show notes

A review of the 2018 book, Crusade and Jihad, by William Polk. Although the book's subtitle is "The Thousand-Year War between the Muslim World and the Global North," it -- rather bizarrely -- essentially ignores the first thousand years. The video explains why.

Putting So-Called 'Christian' Terrorists to the Duck Test Feb 04, 2026

Show notes

What do we make of all those men -- who, while walking like and acting like, Muslim terrorists -- the media insists are actually "Christian" terrorists? Even before the truth came out, I wrote the following two articles on the two cases mentioned in this video (one from England, one from France), providing more evidence and arguments that the terrorists were Muslims all along:

What Is — and Isn't — Wrong with Islam? Feb 04, 2026

Show notes

Islam gets criticized for so many things; however, it's important for non-Muslims to differentiate between those many doctrines that affect Muslims only, and those much fewer doctrines -- three to be exact -- that affect the non-Muslim. It is only the latter (hate, jihad, and dhimmitude) that should ultimately concern the non-Muslim. Some articles with references to the doctrine of Love and Hate (or Loyalty and Enmity): https://www.raymondibrahim.com/01/17/2020/hating-and-loving-for-islam https://www.raymondibrahim.com/01/19/2016/hating-americans-is-official-saudi-and-qatari-policy https://www.raymondibrahim.com/09/18/2013/muslim-husbands-must-hate-non-muslim-wives

Which Christians First 'Demonized' Muhammad? Feb 04, 2026

The Truth behind the New Orleans Terror Attack Jan 21, 2026

Show notes

One year ago today, the Islamic State issued a directive for its followers and sympathizers to "kill the infidels wherever you find them" (Koran 9:5) -- including by plowing vehicles over them, especially on celebratory days, such as New Year's Day. Longer excerpts from the ISIS statement referenced appear here: https://www.raymondibrahim.com/03/04/2024/islamic-state-calls-for-beheading-and-burning-of-every-western-civilian

But WHY Saladin? Jan 11, 2026
