In this episode of The Winston Marshall Show, I sit down with Dr. Andrew Bostom, scholar of Islamic history and author of The Legacy of Jihad and The Legacy of Islamic Antisemitism, for a sweeping conversation about the true history of jihad and the rise of Islamic antisemitism.

Bostom explains how the origins of jihad trace back to Muhammad’s early campaigns in Medina, where religious mission turned to imperial conquest. Drawing from original Islamic sources — he reveals how violence, slavery, and subjugation became sacralised through theology, shaping centuries of conquest from Persia and India to the Middle East and North Africa.

We explore the massacres of Jews and Christians, the destruction of Hindu and Buddhist civilisations. The system that humiliated non-Muslims under Islamic rule. Bostom also discusses the connection between early Islamic teachings and modern antisemitism, from the Hadith quoted in Hamas’s charter to Nazi alliances in the 20th century.

A detailed, uncompromising look at the forgotten history of jihad, the ideological roots of Islamic imperialism, and how centuries-old doctrines continue to influence modern conflicts across the Middle East and beyond.
