I recently had an interesting walk-and-talk with philosopher Peter Boghossian. His description follows: In Budapest, US scholar Raymond Ibrahim and I hit the streets to confront the growing problem of Muslim immigration in Western countries and the cowardice of our leaders to be honest about the nature of the problems this creates. It is often claimed that Muslims and Christians have coexisted peacefully for centuries. Raymond dismantles this myth, tracing a history of Islamic doctrines that sow division. Beyond cultural practices like polygamy, he highlights laws targeting non-Muslims: The mandate to harbor hatred, even toward a Christian spouse, and the demand to convert or accept second-class status, paying tribute to Muslims.

Christians are by far the most persecuted religious group around the world — though virtually no one in the West knows this, thanks to complicit, Christian-hating media. In this video we look at some alarming facts and statistics behind this growing pandemic, which the "powers-that-be" are concealing from the Christians of the West in order to keep them like sitting ducks before the coming storm.

Nabi Asli made the following animated video (curiously duplicating my voice through AI). The narrative is based on my 2015 article, "Islamic Jizya: Fact and Fiction." Several important sources cited in this video are linked to in that article: https://www.raymondibrahim.com/05/28/2015/islamic-jizya-fact-and-fiction

Historian and author Raymond Ibrahim joins The Winston Marshall Show for a powerful, eye-opening conversation on the hidden history of Islam's conquest of the Christian world—and why so few dare to speak about it today. Raymond traces the rapid Islamic expansion following Muhammad's death, showing how, within just one century, Muslim armies had violently overrun three-quarters of the original Christian world—from Syria and Egypt to Spain and deep into Europe. He dismantles the myth of Andalusian "tolerance," reveals the brutal realities behind the so-called Islamic Golden Age, and explains how the Islamic conquests shattered the Mediterranean world, plunging Europe into the Dark Ages. Raymond explores the modern censorship around Christian persecution, the resurgence of historical jihadist rhetoric in groups like ISIS, and the urgent lessons today's leaders refuse to learn. All this—the real story of the Crusades, the lost Christian heartlands, the enduring legacy of conquest, and the history the mainstream media won't touch…

On April 27, Donald Trump declared that "Christopher is going to make a major comeback! I am hereby reinstating Columbus Day." As discussed in this video, however, it's good to remember and reclaim Columbus -- but for reasons long forgotten if not suppressed.

The strange hadith of the encounter between Muhammad and al-Zutt (convenient link provided by Jai & DoC: https://sunnah2.com/262) including the phrase "they began to ride the prophet of Allah" -- appears in several Islamic texts, chief among them:

• مسند الإمام أحمد بن حنبل (Musnad al-Imam Ahmad bin Hanbal, v. 3, p. 399, hadith# 3788).
• تاريخ مدينة دماسكوس إبن هبات الله (Tarikh Medina Damascus, Ibn Hibat Allah, v. 46, p. 461).
• نور الدين الهيثمي مجمع الزوائد ومنبع الفوائد (Mujma' al-Zawa'id w Munbigh al-Fawa'd, Ibn Abi Bakr, v.8, p. 261).
• "They wounded me": أخبار مكة الفاكهي (Akhbar Mecca, al-Fakahi, v. 4, p. 24).
• "The penis of al-Zutt never weakens": كتاب التشبيهات لابن أبي عون (Kitab al-Tashibihat, Ibn Abi 'Awn, v. 1, p.50).
• "Women, dogs, and donkeys cancel a man's prayer": مسند الإمام أحمد بن حنبل (Musnad al-Imam Ahmad bin Hanbal, vol. 2, p. 2992).
• "A woman may be compared to a cow, horse, or camel—for all are ridden": تفسير القرطبي الجامع لأحكام القرآن (Tafsir al-Qurtubi, v.15, p.172).
• "... a vagina that never tires and a penis that never weakens": الدر المنثور السيوطي (al-Dur al-Manthur, al-Siyuti, v.1, p.211).

2022 article first mentioning this hadith: https://www.raymondibrahim.com/2022/0... Muslim responses to this hadith typically go as follows: 1) al-Zutt were Jinn, not humans; 2) The hadith is referencing the "Night of the Jinn," when Muhammad reportedly preached the Koran to them; 3) Abdullah bin Mas'ud is on record saying that he was not with Muhammad on the Night of the Jinn: therefore, the hadith is weak (ضعيف) and likely fabricated. As discussed in this video, however, the earliest sources all depict al-Zutt as humans, meaning the night in question had nothing to do with the Jinn, and therefore the testimony of Abdullah — a chief and trusted transmitter of hadith — remains valid (the one argument raised against this hadith, that Abdullah was not present during the Night of the Jinn, becomes a moot point).
