Why do modern Western intellectuals often uncritically adopt fictional narratives of historical Islamic achievement while ignoring the shared ideological roots of radicalism and Marxism? On Driving Home the Faith, host Dr. Ken Craycraft welcomes back Robert Spencer—Director of Jihad Watch and author of The Tragedy of Islam: Failure and Excuses—to continue their in-depth analysis of Islamic ideology and Western geopolitics.

Spencer critiques historical revisionism regarding medieval Islamic science and culture, contrasting it with the actual historical timeline of Western Christian intellectual development. He and Dr. Craycraft explore how modern Islamic rhetoric frequently converges with Marxist cultural movements around a shared "ideology of grievance," examining the strange political alliances formed in Western media, academia, and public life.
