In this startling
new book, New York Times best sellingauthor Robert Spencer, provides a
portrait of the Prophet of Islam and drawsout what his life implies for reforming Islam and repulsing Islamic terrorists.Spencer relies solely on primary sources considered reliable by Muslims andevaluates modern biographies to show how Muhammad has been changed for Westernaudiences, lulling them into consoling but false conclusions. In The
Truth about Muhammad, New York Times best selling author and Islamexpert Robert Spencer offers an honest and telling portrait of the
founder ofIslam-perhaps the first such portrait in half a century-unbounded by fear andpolitical correctness, unflinching, and willing to face the hard facts aboutMuhammad's life that continue to affect our world today. From Muhammad's first revelation from Allah (which filled him with terrorthat he was demon possessed) to his deathbed (from which he called down cursesupon Jews and Christians), it's all here-told with extensive documentation fromthe sources that Muslims themselves consider most reliable about Muhammad. Spencer details Muhammad's development from a preacher of hellfire anddamnation into a political and military leader who expanded his rule by forceof arms, promising his warriors luridly physical delights in Paradiseif they were killed in his cause. He explains how the Qur'an's teaching onwarfare against unbelievers’ developed-with constant war to establish thehegemony of Islamic law as the last stage. Spencer also gives the truth about Muhammad's convenient revelationsjustifying his own licentiousness; his joy in the brutal murders of hisenemies; and above all, his clear marching orders to his followers to convertnon-Muslims to Islam-or force them to live as inferiors under Islamic rule. In this book you will also read aboutMuhammad's multiple marriages (including one to a nine-year-old) - How Muhammadset legal standards that make it virtually impossible to prove rape in Islamiccountries - How Muhammad's example justifies jihad and terrorism - The real -Satanicverses- incident (not the Salman Rushdie version) that remains a scandal toMuslims - How Muhammad's faulty knowledge of Judaism and Christianity hasinfluenced Islamic theology--and colored Muslim relations with Jews andChristians to this day. Recognizing the true nature of Islam, Spencer argues, is essential forjudging the prospects for large scale Islamic reform, the effective prosecutionof the War on Terror, the democracy project in Afghanistanand Iraq, and immigrationand border control to protect the United States from terrorism. All of which makes it crucial for every citizen (and policymaker) who lovesfreedom to read and ponder The Truth about Muhammad.
