Andrew C. McCarthy, bestselling author, former federal prosecutor, and National Review contributing editor read my book The History of Jihad From Muhammad to ISIS and had this to say:
Jihad is not mere terrorism. Ironic as it may seem, that is Western wishful thinking. From its inception, as Robert Spencer incontestably illustrates, jihad has been the outward, aggressive expression of a conquest ideology. The History of Jihad: From Muhammad to ISIS is as relentless in relating unvarnished truth as is the phenomenon it tracks in seeking domination—and never being satisfied with less, however long it takes. Those who care to preserve Western rationalism, civil liberties, and free societies must confront this history, and its implications, with eyes opened.
Have you ordered the book yet? It’s the first and only comprehensive history of the entire phenomenon of jihad, from Spain to India and many, many other places — with massive implications for public policy, both foreign and domestic. Order it here now.

Not sure, Jay Boo. I know that Barnes and Nobel is indeed selling the book.

Andrew McCarthy wrote: “… jihad has been the outward, aggressive expression of a conquest ideology.”
Yes, all jihad is AGGRESSION to impose DOMINANCE of Muslims over non-Muslims.
Jihad may take almost any form: military, terrorism, financial, verbal, legal, birth rate, rape, professional criminality, infiltration. Jihad may be overt or covert.
However, the motive of jihad is the HATRED of the non-Muslim KAFIR and the agenda of jihad is to make the KAFIR the servant if not the slave of Muslims.
Barbara Vandewalle says
Islam is a cult not a religion. A cult for narcissists. They even murder other Muslim when they do not agree with them. SICK
Rufolino says
Well-put, Mortimer, Islam MUST dominate, this is Islam’s essence.

I ordered the book in hardcover as I intend to donate it to the new Chabad community center’s library when I’m done reading it – unless I don’t like it of course (:-)).
Jaygee says
I would like to know if any library in the U.S. would actually put this book on their shelves. I definitely hope so!
Carol the 1st says
I think we only get electronic versions of anything anti-Islamic – if that!. We can probably anticipate that hard copies would be quickly taken out of circulation via systematic theft. I’ve seen hoopla version of Robert’s books but nothing by Jamie Glazov.

It did–it was just slow.
Robert Anderson says
Jihadwatch.org should be required viewing for anyone over 16 years of age. It seems that countries
Where Islam is working to attain dominance fail to recognize what is happening until it is too late to save
their country. Robert Spencer does a great job with this website and more Americans need to see it.
Perhaps we need a campaign by current viewers of including a link to this website in all of their online
Communications (email, facebook, twitter, etc.). Let’s start taking our country back!!!

Robert, I hope that this book keeps selling out, printing after printing. Bless you for all your work.

I was born and raised in the shit hole of the middle east and thank Jesus our God I am christisn still. Islam is applying the evil book of quran. it says convert the unbelievers or tax them or kill them. So when we dont convert to islam/submission they tax us by taking our women and children and if we want them back we have to sell everything we have to buy them back otherwse they will sell them as sex slave. So if we dont fit into the 1st 2 rules of the quran to be converted or taxed then they apply the 3rd rule which is to kill us.
ibrahim itace muhammed says
Bash, you must be an ignorant liar. there is nothing in the Quran giving options to non-muslims either to convert to Islam or pay tax or be killed unliked the case in your mithraist pagan Bible commanding you to kill all those living with exception of little girls to be kept as sex slaves ,and mithraist christians carried it out during crusade wars and in Spain, extermination of the original inhabitants of Americas by white mithraist christians and they settled there.you are not from the middleast as you have claimed. A fool!!
Mirren10 says
Hey ibrahim, I **knew** you were just pretending to be a mohammedan ! Because a mohammedan knows his/her koran, right ? 🙂
Quran (9:29) – “Fight those who believe not in Allah nor the Last Day, nor hold that forbidden which hath been forbidden by Allah and His Messenger, nor acknowledge the religion of Truth, (even if they are) of the People of the Book, until they pay the Jizya with willing submission, and feel themselves subdued.”
