Ibrahim argues that many modern narratives about Islamic conquest, the Crusades, and “peaceful coexistence” ignore primary historical sources. They also discuss modern atrocities, including the Islamic slaughter of Christians in Nigeria, the Muslim Brotherhood, Europe’s immigration crisis, and why he believes the West must stop viewing Islam through a naïve framework.
