FrontPage Magazine Islamic jihadis recently gang-raped a 60-year-old Christian woman to triumphant cries of “Allahu Akbar!” before stoning her to death. When no one in Yaqoubiya, a small Christian village in Idlib governorate, Syria, saw Susan Grigor (or “Gregory”) on July 9, the worried priest sent parishioners to search for her.

Video: Ibrahim on the Many Faces of Jihad throughout History
Derek Gilbert of Sky Watch News recently interviewed me. Among other topics, we discussed why “jihad” is better translated as “struggle” and not “holy war” — and why that actually makes it more dangerous; why in this sense characters like Linda Sarsour are practitioners of jihad; and why, unlike their descendants, premodern Europeans were not […]
Eastern Europe’s ‘Subconscious Fear’ of Islam: The Siege of Vienna
“Austria acts against Muslims almost every day because of their subconscious fear of Turks,” writes Turkish historian Erhan Afyoncu. “Austrians have not forgotten the fear and their emperor’s escape in the Battle of Vienna in 1683.

Video: Raymond Ibrahim on CBN News’ Global Lane
On June 28, I appeared on CBN News’ Global Lane, with Gary Lane. The official description of the seven minute segment follows: “Free speech silenced. The U.S. Army War College capitulates to the demands of Islamic activist groups and cancels the schedule lecture of this author. Why was this Egyptian-American labeled a white racist?”
The Battle of Hattin: Islam’s July 4 Triumph
Centuries before it was remembered as a day of Independence, July 4 was remembered as one of the most consequential days between the perennial war between Islam and Christendom — and a disaster for the latter. That story follows: Soon after liberating the ancient Christian city of Antioch from Muslim oppression, the First Crusaders managed to […]

Concerning this debacle, Allen West has correctly observed: “My Army […]
