According to Raymond Ibrahim, Europe was saved from Islam due to a combination of factors. He argues that Europe's geographical location played a significant role, as it was shielded by strong natural barriers such as the Mediterranean Sea and the Pyrenees Mountains. Additionally, the Christian Crusades, which aimed to reclaim the Holy Land from Muslim rule, acted as a defensive effort that diverted Islamic expansionist ambitions away from Europe. Ibrahim also points out the internal divisions within the Muslim world, such as political and sectarian conflicts, which weakened their ability to launch successful invasions. Moreover, Europe's military advancements and technological superiority provided a defensive advantage against Muslim forces. These factors, along with the resilience and determination of European societies to maintain their religious and cultural identity, contributed to the continent being saved from Islam's domination, according to Ibrahim.
