Islam Conquered 75% of Christian Lands

The truth about jihad that the media don't want you to know.

By The Stream Published on December 1, 2025

In this 69-minute video, scholars Victor Davis Hanson and Raymond Ibrahim review the history of Islamic jihad, and reveal the sobering fact: Muslims conquered and subjugated 75% of Christian lands in its first few centuries of relentless military expansion. The Crusades were a belated series of defensive wars to liberate some of those lands. Now jihad uses different tactics: terrorism, mass migration, and the claim of perpetual victimhood at the hands of “colonialist” Western nations. But the goal is still the same: a planet ruled by Muslims, with Christians “subject” and “humiliated” at best.
