Terry and Timon talk with Raymond Ibrahim, fellow at the David Horowitz Freedom Center and the Middle East Forum, about his new book, Defenders of the West: The Christian Heroes Who Stood Against Islam.    #RaymondIbrahim #DefendersoftheWest #Book #Islam #Christianity #Religion #History #Culture   Raymond Ibrahim is the Distinguished Senior Shillman Fellow at the Gatestone Institute and the Judith Friedman Rosen Fellow at the Middle East Forum. His books include "Defenders of the West: The Christian Heroes Who Stood against Islam" (Bombardier, 2022); "Sword and Scimitar: Fourteen Centuries of War between Islam and the West" (Da Capo, 2018); "Crucified Again: Exposing Islam’s New War on Christians" (Regnery, 2013); "The Al Qaeda Reader" (Doubleday, 2007); and "The Battle of Yarmuk: An Assessment of the Immediate Factors behind the Islamic Conquests" (MA thesis, 2002).

His writings, translations, and observations have appeared in a variety of publications, including the New York Times Syndicate, CNN, LA Times, Fox News, Financial Times, Jerusalem Post, United Press International, USA Today, Washington Post, and Washington Times.   Ibrahim’s dual-background—born and raised in the U.S. by Egyptian parents born and raised in 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, positioning him to explain the latter to the former.   Learn more about Raymond Ibrahim's work: https://www.raymondibrahim.com/about/   Purchase his new book, "Defenders of the West": https://a.co/d/7YZhi11   ––––––   Follow American Reformer across Social Media: X / Twitter – https://www.twitter.com/amreformer Facebook – https://www.facebook.com/AmericanReformer/ Website – https://americanreformer.org/   Promote a vigorous Christian approach to the cultural challenges of our day, by donating to The American Reformer: https://americanreformer.org/donate/   Follow Us on Twitter: Josh Abbotoy – https://twitter.com/Byzness Timon Cline – https://twitter.com/tlloydcline   The American Reformer Podcast is  hosted by Josh Abbotoy and Timon Cline, recorded remotely in the United States, and edited by Jared Cummings.   Subscribe to our Podcast, "The American Reformer" Get our RSS Feed – https://americanreformerpodcast.podbean.com/ Apple Podcasts – https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-american-reformer-podcast/id1677193347 Spotify – https://open.spotify.com/show/1V2dH5vhfogPIv0X8ux9Gm?
