(RAIR Foundation)—Renowned scholar Raymond Ibrahim has once again shattered the establishment’s narrative on Islam, directly challenging the myth that because not all Muslims engage in violence, Islam itself must be innocent. Ibrahim, who has spent over two decades researching Islamic history and doctrine, presents a clear and unflinching truth: Islam contains supremacist and violent teachings, but not all Muslims actively follow them—just as not all members of a dangerous ideology necessarily embody its worst aspects.
The Nazi Analogy: A Brutal but Necessary Truth
Ibrahim draws a powerful parallel to Nazi Germany. Many Germans, including Oskar Schindler, were members of the Nazi Party yet opposed its genocidal policies. Does this mean Schindler followed a “moderate” version of Nazism? No—it means his conscience overpowered his allegiance. Likewise, many Muslims who treat non-Muslims fairly do so in spite of Islam’s supremacist doctrines, not because of them.
The Establishment’s Cowardice
For over a millennium, the West understood Islam as an expansionist, violent force—from medieval scholars to Winston Churchill. Yet today’s media, academia, and politicians whitewash Islam, silencing critics and falsely equating it with other religions. The reason? Weakness and political correctness. Ibrahim dismantles this deception, proving that separating Islam’s teachings from the actions of individual Muslims is the only way to understand this issue honestly.
Who is Raymond Ibrahim?
Censored for telling the truth, Ibrahim has written over 2,000 essays and multiple books, including Defenders of the West and Sword and Scimitar. Before being blacklisted for his candor, he appeared on CNN, NPR, PBS, C-SPAN, Al-Jazeera, and was published in The New York Times, Washington Post, and Financial Times. He has testified before Congress, lectured at top military institutions, and continues to expose uncomfortable truths despite relentless suppression.
The Bottom Line
Islam contains supremacist and violent doctrines—this is a fact. That many Muslims are good people does not absolve Islam. Just as Schindler’s goodness did not make Nazism moderate, a kind Muslim’s actions do not change Islam’s fundamental nature. Ibrahim’s fearless clarity exposes the West’s self-imposed blindness—and it’s time to wake up.
Independent Journalism Is Dying
Ever since President Trump’s miraculous victory, we’ve heard an incessant drumbeat about how legacy media is dying. This is true. The people have awakened to the reality that they’re being lied to by the self-proclaimed “Arbiters of Truth” for the sake of political expediency, corporate self-protection, and globalist ambitions.
But even as independent journalism rises to fill the void left by legacy media, there is still a huge challenge. Those at the top of independent media like Joe Rogan, Dan Bongino, and Tucker Carlson are thriving and rightly so. They have earned their audience and the financial rewards that come from it. They’ve taken risks and worked hard to get to where they are.
For “the rest of us,” legacy media and their proxies are making it exceptionally difficult to survive, let alone thrive. They still have a stranglehold over the “fact checkers” who have a dramatic impact on readership and viewership. YouTube, Facebook, and Google still stifle us. The freer speech platforms like Rumble and 𝕏 can only reward so many of their popular content creators. For independent journalists on the outside looking in, our only recourse is to rely on affiliates and sponsors.
But even as it seems nearly impossible to make a living, there are blessings that should not be disregarded. By highlighting strong sponsors who share our America First worldview, we have been able to make lifelong connections and even a bit of revenue to help us along. This is why we enjoy symbiotic relationships with companies like MyPillow, Jase Medical, and Promised Grounds. We help them with our recommendations and they reward us with money when our audience buys from them.
The same can be said about our preparedness sponsor, Prepper All-Naturals. Their long-term storage beef has a 25-year shelf life and is made with one ingredient: All-American Beef.
Even our faith-driven precious metals sponsor helps us tremendously while also helping Americans protect their life’s savings. We are blessed to work with them.
Independent media is the future. In many ways, that future is already here. While the phrase, “the more the merrier,” does not apply to this business because there are still some bad actors in the independent media field, there are many great ones that do not get nearly enough attention. We hope to change that one content creator at a time.
Thank you and God Bless,
