As Western ‘Civilisation’ implodes due to cultural Marxism, relativism, objectivism, and the descent into gender, pharmaceutical, totalitarian, open-borders madness and confusion, few know anything about the heroic wars waged by the Byzantine and Catholic Churches against the cult of Muhammed and its Jihad.  Most in the decayed, immoral, perverted and subverted ‘West’ simply assume that Muhammedanism was ‘always the religion’ of Musulman states.  They have no idea about the rape, slaughter and destruction visited by the cult of Muhammed on Christian civilisation and turning non-Musulman regions into Koran worshippers.  But they can tell you the winner of the latest song contest.

‘Defenders’ is a must-read historical account of great men who defended civilisation.  It should be read with ‘Sword and Scimitar’.  Eight key figures are described by Ibrahim: Duke Godfrey, The Cid, King Richard, Saint Ferdinand III, Saint Louis, John Hunyadi, Skanderbeg in Albania, and Vlad Dracul (Lord) or Dracula.  The cited bibliography runs to 8 pages, and there are 15 pages of small print endnote citations.  It is a historical narrative of truth and redolence that would pass a so-called ‘peer review’.  Many others could have been added including Charles Martel, Don Juan, Jan Sobieski, Leo III, and countless more.  The magnificent 8 could be expanded to the formidable 80 in no time.

The importance of these men cannot be under-estimated.  Ibrahim quotes US President Teddy Roosevelt who nicely summarises the reality:

“Christianity was saved in Europe solely because the peoples of Europe fought.  If the peoples of Europe in the seventh and eighth centuries, and on to and including the seventeenth century had not possessed a military equality with, and gradually a growing superiority over the Mohammedans who invaded Europe, Europe would at this moment be Mohammedan…wherever the Christians have been unable to resist them by the sword, Christianity has ultimately disappeared.”

Roosevelt was correct.  In the anti-Christian ‘West’ the Catholic and Christian religion is held in low esteem after 150 years of endless materialist and atheist propaganda, none of it scientific and most of it fictitious.  In many urban areas in Europe, local leaders applaud and demand the Muslimification of their cities, against the wishes of the majority.  No debates, no referenda are held on the issue of unlimited Musulman immigration.  The elite would care less about culture, history and reality.  They have agendas to carry out.

This forms Ibrahim’s conclusion. The eight men he studies were venerated long after their deaths as heroes, some as Saints.  No longer.  Today they are white Muhammedophobes, racists, masculine white-supremacists, deluded-fanatical-Christians, war-criminals, barely literate idiots who never took a bath.  The Musulmans are portrayed as peaceful, content, the victims assaulted by nasty Christians, with the entire 1400-year period of savage Mahometan Jihad never happening.  Such is the stupidity of the modern ‘West’.

“At any rate, being enemies of Islam is just the tip of the iceberg as to why the men profiled in the preceding pages are now so abhorred.  They are, after all, guilty of far greater ‘sins’: every one of them was the living embodiment of what is today condemned as ‘toxic masculinity’ and the ‘patriarchy’.  Worse, not only were they all white, male, and Christian, but – far from being ashamed or apologetic over these now ‘troubling’ attributes – two of these identity markers, their masculinity and religious faith, are precisely what animated them to act.”

In the ‘West’ today where are the men and where is the real faith?

As Ibrahim laments, because these men opposed the much-loved (within quackademia and the fake news and fake education), cult of Muhammad, modern ‘history’ portrays them as sinful criminals and endeavours to rewrite or ignore the historical record.  Thus, we have El Cid as an uncaring mercenary (he was a devout Christian opposed to the Muslim cult); Saint Louis IX as a racist Islamophobe, King Richard the Lionheart as a gay psychotic, or Skanderbeg as an Albanian patriot who cared not for Christianity (he was a former prisoner of the Sultan and led a Christian initiated revolt in Albania against the Ottomans for 30 years). 

In general, the quacks and rewriters portray any Christian pushback against 1400 years of Musulman Jihad as an act of aggression and ‘colonialisation’, or they try to denigrate it to a local, regional or national ‘revolt’ against their superiors (in their eyes), the Musulmans.  Modern ‘history’ is yet another example of too many ‘universities’, too many programs, too many useless degrees and too many useless people with too much time on their hands writing useless ‘far left’ Musulman apologia.  The irony is that most of these absurdities would not have their easy life to write fiction, if the 8 men analysed by Ibrahim had not existed.  This is why reading Ibrahim’s books is so refreshing.  Back to reality.
