How wonderful is it that the same day I found myself wondering about the extent to which Saladin's biography and media portrayal had been whitewashed for the same reason... well... al of islamic history has been, Mr ibrahim releases a video addressing that very same question. Sinchronicity is God whispering at the human soul. God bless you, Raymond. Thank you.
@@raymondibrahim5177 If I may, I'd like to ask a question that came to mind with this video. Saladin is portrayed in Dante's Divine Comedy as one of the souls found in Purgatorio... I wonder what would you attribute this to? I don't think the consolidation of fake history stems all the way back to the XIV century (does it?). Perhaps there have always been pro-islamic intellectualism in the west? It strikes me odd to find him absolved from the punishments described by Alighieri mere decades after his passing... I'd love to hear your thoughts on this, if you can spare the time. Thanks again :).
Really enjoying your books. Finished "Sword and Scimitar" and reading "Defenders of the West." Honestly these need to be made into movies or an HBO series.
Movies like The Kingdom of Heaven portray Saladin as some great hero, and the Knights Templars (that lived as warrior-monks to protect innocent pilgrims) as wicked bastards. In short: The film makers probably didn't want to get stabbed in the streets, or bombed ETC. and thought it was safer to make the Christians into the bad guys. This is at least the idea I have. It's self-censorship.
This is perfect!! I was scrambling a couple months ago trying to watch every Raymond Ibrahim interview, now I don’t have to look any further!
Thanks for this I see it seeping into every conversation that includes him
Thank you sir, I’ve Learnt a lot from you these past few months
