Victor Davis Hanson: The Two Swords of Christ: The History of the Crusades

Part history, part political analysis, and part memoir, 'Mexifornia' is an intensely personal work by Victor Davis Hanson. The book explores how massive illegal immigration from Mexico has altered California and the entire nation over the past quarter century. Hanson admires the ambition and vigor of immigrants but criticizes the disordered immigration policies that have led to the current situation. He highlights the harm these policies cause to both the immigrants and the broader American society, while remaining hopeful that traditions of integration, assimilation, and intermarriage can remedy the predicament created by politicians and ideologues.

In this book, Raymond Ibrahim documents the widespread persecution of Christians in Muslim countries, including instances of churches being burned, Christians being tortured, raped, or killed for their faith, and the role of governments in enabling or encouraging these acts. Ibrahim combines historical context with recent reports to expose the ongoing crisis and argues for greater international attention and outcry. The book also explores why the mainstream media has been relatively silent on this topic.

It highlights the use of Islamic texts to justify terrorist actions and the double-speak of al-Qaeda leaders in their communications with different audiences.
