In a new limited series called Islam and the West, Yasmine is inviting the most brilliant minds of our time to discuss the most pressing issues of our time. These conversations help us understand the goals of Islamists in the West, who are infiltrating our governments, media and academic institutions. They also examine strategies to battle the overwhelming antisemitism and Islamism in the West.
The first guest on the Islam and the West limited series is Raymond Ibrahim, an expert on Islamic history and doctrine, and a widely published expert on the Middle East and Islam. He is the author of multiple books including Defenders of the West: The Christian Heroes Who Stood Against Islam (2022) and Sword and Scimitar: Fourteen Centuries of War between Islam and the West (2018). He has appeared on C-SPAN, Al-Jazeera, CNN, NPR, and PBS and has been published by a variety of publications. Formerly an Arabic linguist at the Library of Congress, Ibrahim has guest lectured at many universities.
Ibrahim’s dual-background—born and raised in the U.S. by Egyptian parents from the Middle East—has provided him with unique advantages, from equal fluency in English and Arabic, to an equal understanding of the Western and Middle Eastern mindsets.
