Real Talk with Marissa Streit | PragerU

Historian Raymond Ibrahim joins this NEW episode of Real Talk to discuss the history of jihad and the erasure of the Christian roots of the Middle East. Ibrahim argues that many modern narratives about Islamic conquest, the Crusades, and “peaceful coexistence” ignore primary historical sources. We 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. 00:00 - Islam Historian Raymond Ibrahim on Islam, History, and the West 01:13 - Who Are the Coptic Christians? 03:28 - How Islam Conquered Much of the Christian World 07:27 - What Modern Historians Get Wrong About Islamic Conquest 13:40 - Is Jihad a Reaction to the West or Part of Islamic Doctrine? 19:22 - What Is the Muslim Brotherhood? 30:34 - Were the Crusades a Response to Islamic Jihad? 39:17 - Is Europe Facing an Invasion or an Invitation? 46:38 - Is Islam Compatible with the West? 58:19 - The Christian Genocide in Nigeria the Media Ignores Follow Marissa on social: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/marissastreit/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/marissastreitofficial/ Twitter/X: https://x.com/marissastreit/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@marissastreit LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/marissastreit/ PragerU: https://www.prageru.com/shows/real-talk/ PragerU Español: https://www.youtube.com/@esPragerU Listen to Real Talk with Marissa Streit on Spotify and Apple Podcasts New episodes drop every Wednesday!
