Non-Fiction History
Muhammad: a frank look at his influential (and violent) life
and teachings In The Truth about Muhammad, New York Times bestselling
author and Islam expert Robert Spencer offers an honest and
telling portrait of the founder of Islam-perhaps the first
such portrait in half a century-unbounded by fear and
political correctness, unflinching, and willing to face the
hard facts about Muhammad's life that continue to affect our
world today. From Muhammad's first "revelation" from Allah (which filled
him with terror that he was demonpossessed) to his deathbed
(from which he called down curses upon Jews and Christians),
it's all here-told with extensive documentation from the
sources that Muslims themselves consider most reliable about
Muhammad. Spencer details Muhammad's development from a preacher of
hellfire and damnation into a political and military leader
who expanded his rule by force of arms, promising his
warriors luridly physical delights in Paradise if they were
killed in his cause. He explains how the Qur'an's teaching
on warfare against unbelievers developed-with constant war
to establish the hegemony of Islamic law as the last stage. Spencer also gives the truth about Muhammad's convenient
"revelations" justifying his own licentiousness; his joy in
the brutal murders of his enemies; and above all, his clear
marching orders to his followers to convert non-Muslims to
Islam-or force them to live as inferiors under Islamic rule. In The Truth about Muhammad, you'll learn - The truth about Muhammad's multiple marriages (including
one to a nine-year-old) - How Muhammad set legal standards
that make it virtually impossible to prove rape in Islamic
countries - How Muhammad's example justifies jihad and
terrorism - The real "Satanic verses" incident (not the
Salman Rushdie version) that remains a scandal to Muslims -
How Muhammad's faulty knowledge of Judaism and Christianity
has influenced Islamic theology--and colored Muslim
relations with Jews and Christians to this day. Recognizing the true nature of Islam, Spencer argues, is
essential for judging the prospects for largescale Islamic
reform, the effective prosecution of the War on Terror, the
democracy project in Afghanistan and Iraq, and immigration
and border control to protect the United States from terrorism. All of which makes it crucial for every citizen (and
policymaker) who loves freedom to read and ponder The Truth
about Muhammad.
