Bible scholar NT Wright answers a listener question on whether the Bible allows women to teach in churches, including the passage from 1 Timothy 2 v 11-12 “A woman should learn in quietness and full submission. I do not permit a woman to teach or to assume authority over a man; she must be quiet.”

Tom explains why he believes these verses have been taken out of context to forbid female church ministry.

For nearly half a century, Iranian women have been shaping a parallel history that rarely makes it into headlines. Some were removed from their positions overnight, others turned prison walls into platforms for truth, while many built influence through art, law, literature, and activism. The way they go is different, but the pattern is the same.
This is a look at women who refused to go away even when they were told to be quiet. And whose work is still heard all over the world.

Raymond Ibrahim joins the Winston Marshall Show to explore the untold history of the Knights Hospitaller, the Ottoman expansion, Barbary piracy, and the lasting memory of the Crusades in both Western and Islamic consciousness. Drawing on deep historical research, Raymond Ibrahim breaks down the fall of Acre, the siege of Rhodes, the slave raids of North Africa, and the debate around Islam’s so called Golden Age. The discussion examines how narratives around jihad, colonialism, and European history have shaped modern attitudes toward Islam in Britain, Europe, and the Middle East. This episode offers a detailed analysis of crusader history, Ottoman conquests, Islamic expansion, and the cultural legacy still influencing politics and identity today.

A far ranging discussion on the teachings and history of Islam vs Christianity.
Generations of academic malfeasance and Hollywood propaganda have produced so much FAKE HISTORY concerning the relationship of these two civilizations — and all in order to demonize the West and whitewash Islam.
This video — which offers a century by century breakdown of their long and troubled past, as well as their major doctrinal differences — serves as a corrective.
Interview conducted by podcaster Apollo the Original.

Raymond Ibrahim joins The Right Stuff to talk about the men who defended the West from Islam.

Another deep dive into the questions that matter with Winston Marshall, whose summary follows:

"In this episode of The Winston Marshall Show, I sit down with historian and Middle East scholar Raymond Ibrahim for a deep historical examination of the Crusades, the centuries long conflict between Islam and Christianity, and the moral framework of just war.

We challenge the modern narrative that portrays the Crusades as unprovoked Christian aggression, and instead trace the centuries of Islamic expansion that preceded them, from the conquest of the Levant and North Africa to the fall of Christian territories across the Mediterranean. Ibrahim lays out the theological, military, and political realities of the era, arguing that the Crusades were understood at the time as defensive wars within a Christian just war tradition.

The conversation explores jihad doctrine, papal authority, pilgrimage routes, the Byzantine appeal for help, and the brutal realities of medieval warfare on all sides. We discuss how both Christian and Muslim chroniclers recorded atrocities, enslavement, and religious violence, and why sanitised or selective readings distort the period.

We also examine how the Crusades are invoked in modern political rhetoric, why historical memory shapes contemporary tensions, and whether the West has lost confidence in telling its own story honestly.

A rigorous and unfiltered discussion about faith, war, civilisation, and what the Crusades really meant in their own time."

In this hard-hitting Heretics interview, historian Raymond Ibrahim - author of The Al-Qaeda Reader and Defenders of the West - reveals explosive insights into Islam's historical and modern expansion. From his Coptic Christian heritage to discovering al-Qaeda's radically different Arabic messages (pure jihad theology vs. Western grievance narratives), Ibrahim uncovers taqiyya deception, the real meaning of "kafir/infidel," and how jizya tax systematically forced mass conversions across conquered Christian lands like Egypt and Syria.

He explains the "bully mentality": Western appeasement and cultural capitulation (King Charles hosting Muslim prayers, stadiums turned prayer halls) only emboldens Islamists and radicalizes second/third-generation Muslims, while strong, confident societies historically prompted assimilation. Ibrahim warns of the Muslim Brotherhood's documented "civilizational jihad" to sabotage the West from within, Iran's Shia end-times theology making nuclear weapons especially dangerous, and grim demographics: the UK already far beyond official 6-9% Muslim figures, with projections of 25-50% in coming decades leading to irreversible takeover unless reversed.

The crisis is self-inflicted—Islam isn't invading; it's invited—and reversal demands rejecting multicultural paralysis, weaponized "human rights," and useful-idiot alliances. Featuring the poison-candy analogy for immigration risks, historical pushbacks (Reconquista Spain, Balkans, Hungary), and why places like Poland remain untouched.

In a new special series called Islam and the West, Yasmine is inviting the most brilliant, authentic voices of the Arab and Muslim world to discuss the most pressing issues of our time. These conversations help us understand the goals of Islamists in the West, who are infiltrating our governments, media and academic institutions. They also examine strategies to battle the overwhelming antisemitism and Islamism in the West.

The first guest on the Islam and the West limited series is Raymond Ibrahim, an expert on Islamic history and doctrine, and a widely published expert on the Middle East and Islam. He is the author of multiple books including Defenders of the West: The Christian Heroes Who Stood Against Islam (2022) and Sword and Scimitar: Fourteen Centuries of War between Islam and the West (2018). He has appeared on C-SPAN, Al-Jazeera, CNN, NPR, and PBS and has been published by a variety of publications. Formerly an Arabic linguist at the Library of Congress, Ibrahim has guest lectured at many universities.

Ibrahim’s dual-background—born and raised in the U.S. by Egyptian parents from the Middle East—has provided him with unique advantages, from equal fluency in English and Arabic, to an equal understanding of the Western and Middle Eastern mindsets.

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…
