Answer 1

Raymond Ibrahim argues that Europe was saved from Islam due to a combination of factors. The use of cannons played a crucial role in preventing Muslim forces from invading Europe. Additionally, the relocation of the seat of Orthodox Christianity to Russia acted as a protective barrier against Islamic expansion. Furthermore, four important Christian cities were under Islamic control, making it difficult for Islam to further penetrate Europe. Lastly, the defeats suffered by the Muslims in the 700s served as a significant deterrent and prevented Islam from spreading into Europe.
