In this episode of The Winston Marshall Show, I sit down with historian Raymond Ibrahim to discuss the return of Crusader imagery, why the Knights Templar have become symbols for a new generation, and what the Crusades can teach us about the crisis facing the West today. We explore Islam, immigration, the failures of Western elites, the forgotten ideals of sacrifice and duty, and how modern historians rewrote the meaning of the Crusades. Raymond also takes us through all nine Crusades, from the capture of Jerusalem and Richard the Lionheart to the fall of Acre and the enduring legacy of the Crusader spirit.
