Defenders of the West, by Raymond Ibrahim

Augusted Meyrat is an English teacher in Dallas.  He is also proprietor of THE IMAGINATIVE CONSERVATIVE web site.

At THE FEDERALIST today, Meyrat has a review of Raymond Ibrahim's DEFENDERS OF THE WEST: The Christian Heroes Who Stood Against Islam:


I have listened a few times Raymond Ibrahim on OAN and been impressed.  Meyrat's review of his Defenders of the West is compelling enough to persuade me to order it.

islam is not as topical for immigration restrictionists today as it was in the immediate aftermath of Angela Merkel's invitation to syrians to come to europe in 2015.  A reminder of which is this quote from Douglas Murray's The Strange Death of Europe:

"Had it been possible to discuss these matters some solution might have been reached.  Yet even in 2015 at the height of the migration crisis in September, 2015 Chancellor Merkel of Germany asked the facebook ceo, Mark Zuckerberg, what could be done to stop european citizens writing criticisms of her migration policy on facebook.  'Are you working on this?'  He assured her he was.  In fact the criticism, thought, and discussion ought to have been boundless.  Looking back, it is remarkable how restricted we made our discussion, even whilst we opened our home to the world."  (The Strange Death of Europe: Immigration, Identity, Islam, by Douglas Murray, p4).

I have seem author Raymond Ibrahim on several occasions on OAN and been impressed.  Meyrat's review of Ibrahim's Defenders of the West is compelling enough to persuade me to order it.

    What used to be heaven is hell.What used to be hell is still hell--just larger in territory.

    Europe was a great continent(as was the U.S.A. )--heaven" to its citizens.)

    But hell spreadeth,from distant lands,closer and closer,until in the blink of an eye,heaven vanished,forevermore.

    "But hell spreadeth, from distant lands, closer and closer, until in the blink of an eye, heaven vanished, forever more."

    Think the thousand years of the Byzantine and Constantinople. Now Istanbul. Muslims took it over and gone "forever more".
