Raymond Ibrahim argues that Europe was saved from Islam primarily due to military defeats of Muslim forces in the 700s, which effectively barred Islam from entering Europe. Additionally, he highlights that four major seats of Christianity were under Islamic control, and that the seat of Orthodox Christianity eventually moved to Russia, further contributing to the preservation of Christianity in Europe. However, the key point is the early military victories that halted the advance of Islam into Europe.
