Discover the gripping history of the clash between Islam and the West with Sword and Scimitar: Fourteen Centuries of War between Islam and the West. Unveiling a deep understanding of the roots of current conflicts, this book sheds light on the often-violent hostilities that have defined these two worlds. From the initial rejection of Prophet Muhammad's order to abandon Christianity, to the centuries-long jihad on Christendom, to the European colonization of the Muslim world - Ibrahim's research covers it all.
With meticulously collected original sources in Arabic and Greek, historian Raymond Ibrahim takes readers on a journey through time as he delves into the decisive battles that emerged from this age-old Islamic jihad. From the fearsome battles of Yarmuk and Tours, to the legendary sieges at Constantinople and Vienna, to the heroic crusades in Syria and Spain, Ibrahim brings these historic encounters back to life, giving you unparalleled insight into the cultural fault lines between Islam and the West.

This book provides the necessary historical context to comprehend the West's tumultuous connection with Islam and reveals why the Islamic State is merely another chapter in this ancient history.
