This summer I spoke at the NY Divinity School, in an event arranged by the Middle East Forum. I discussed the much needed historical context of the Muslim world’s rage against the Western world. The nearly hour-long talk, followed by a Q&A moderated by Daniel Pipes, follows:
Ilhan Omar’s Anti-American, Pro-Islamic Polemic on the Armenian Genocide
Earlier this week the House voted overwhelmingly (405-11) in favor of formally recognizing the Armenian Genocide, which was perpetrated by Ottoman Turks. Among those miniscule few to vote “present,” thereby abstaining from voting, was Minnesotan Democrat, Ilhan Omar. Her logic was expressed in a tweet: A true acknowledgement of historical crimes against humanity must include […]
The “Most Colossal Crime of All Ages”
FrontPage Magazine An ugly truth of history has just been acknowledged. On October 29, the US House of Representatives voted overwhelmingly (405 to 11) in favor of Resolution 296, which officially acknowledges the Armenian genocide perpetrated by Ottoman Turks during WW1. (Unsurprisingly, Ilhan Omar was among the very few to abstain; her disingenuous logic will […]
Islam’s Erasure of the Mideast’s Judaic and Christian Heritage
FrontPage Magazine The Muslim world is at war with history. It needs to be, if it hopes to change the narrative concerning how it came into being and, more importantly, how no one but Muslims has any right to any land claimed by Islam. Most recently, the Palestinian Authority’s minister of culture, ‘Atif Abu Sayf, […]
The Battle of Lepanto: A Military and “Moral Victory” over Islam
Today in history witnessed one of the most cataclysmic clashes between Islam and the West—one where the latter for once crushed and humiliated the former. In 1570, Muslim Turks—in the guise of the Ottoman Empire—invaded the island of Cyprus, prompting Pope Pius V to call for and form a “Holy League” of maritime Catholic nation-states, […]
“Kiss My Feet!” Islam’s Demand of Jews and Christians
FrontPage Magazine Few things are as reliably consistent as Muslim behavior—particularly the sort we are regularly assured has “nothing to do with Islam.” Otherwise, why does one find the same “disquieting” behavior in regions that widely differ in both time and space? Consider this new report from Australia: A 12-year-old Jewish student was forced to […]
Sword and Scimitar: “A Compelling Reminder of the Terrifying Dynamic which Continues to Drive the Islamic World”
Note: The following book review of my Sword and Scimitar: Fourteen Centuries of War between Islam and the West was written by Terry Scambray and first appeared in the Sept. 2019 issue of the New Oxford Review: We judge individuals by what they say and what they do. We judge cults, religions and ideologies the […]

On September 13, I spoke at CPAC-West in Reno, Nevada. My 25-minute presentation, which follows, was titled “The Persecution of Christians: Past, Present, and Future”:
Ibrahim on Steel on Steel: Christian Persecution, Mexican Border, Political Correctness, and More
I was recently interviewed on Steel on Steel with John Loeffler. “Coptic Christian persecution in Egypt, Islamic terrorists at our southern border, the different perceptions of moderate and radical Muslims, and the political correctness that keeps us from getting at the truth,” were among some of the topics we discussed in the 30-minute interview, which […]
