Dutch freedom fighter Geert Wilders read an advance copy of my new book The History of Jihad From Muhammad to ISIS, and had this to say:
Robert Spencer is one of my heroes. One of the most knowledgeable experts on Islam in the world. A giant. He has once again produced an invaluable and much needed book, a fantastic book, an absolute must-read for all freedom-loving people! Want to read the truth about Islam? Read this book. It depicts the terrible fate of the hundreds of millions of men, women and children who, from the 7th century until today, were massacred or enslaved by Islam. It is a fate which awaits us all if we are not vigilant.
Have you preordered yet? If you do now, you won’t have long to wait: the publication date is just around the corner, August 7. The History of Jihad From Muhammad to ISIS is the first and only comprehensive narrative treatment of the entire phenomenon of jihad, from Spain to India, from Tel Aviv to New York City. The implications of this history for our foreign and domestic policies are enormous. Click here to preorder.

I received my advance copy a couple of weeks ago (only a hundred pages in, slow reader of anything none technical), and i can only say, having been working actively in the counter jihad movement for 10+ years now, I am learning something new with every turn of the page, it is an encyclopaedic history of jihad, the book could not have been given an alternative name.
So unbelievable that this ongoing threat, with masses of well documented historic fact is ignored by our world leaders for the ever present threat that it is.
Michael Copeland says
World leaders are negligent in failing to inform themselves.
It does not take long: a few minutes reading of the deeds of Mohammed, and an exploration of the drop-down menus at TheReligionOfPeace.com will be very informative.
They are culpably negligent.
Wellington says
Seconded.
mortimer says
Yes, MIchael. Moreover, I consider world leaders CULPABLY NEGLIGENT in not INFORMING THEMSELVES about the MOST DANGEROUS ISSUE OF OUR TIME … POLITICAL ISLAM.
Such NEGLIGENT POLITICIANS, JOURNALISTS and SPIRITUAL GUIDES have WOEFULLY let down their followers!
They are like NERO who PLAYED ON THE LYRE while ROME BURNED.
They have NO EXCUSE for not informing themselves, since VOLUMES of ACCURATE INFORMATION about ISLAMIC LAW and JIHAD are FREELY AVAILABLE on the internet.
THEY HAVE NO EXCUSE… especially now when the HISTORY OF JIHAD by ROBERT SPENCER is published.
The HISTORY OF JIHAD by Robert Spencer should be made into a video series!
Susan B says
Mortimer, your comment and analogy is brilliant. I personally, am not sure how much is “CULPABLY NEGLIGENT” and how much is by design, which would be even more sinister and frightening. Not all of these traitors can not know what is going on. At least the upper level of these powerful people must have access to information that the rest of us do not. I hate to come across as a conspirator theorist wearing a tin hat. but..

Actually I think they have painted themselves into a corner. They really scared of the Muslim vote going against them in election so have to keep appeasing the Muslims.
They are also aware of the Muslim predilection for riot and civil disobedience if they make any moves to curb and curtail their Islamisation agenda. However the action taken against the Muslim rape gangs although belated and limited is a sign of common sense rather than PC politics starting to appear.
I believe the US expression is between a rock and a hard place.
It will take a really courageous politician like Le Pen in France to turn things around
J D S says
Reading about the wiles of islam is important…but…with what’s been happening in recent years…murder…rape…and all kinds of treacherous terrorism trails that Islam has left, well if the western world leaders don’t see all that Islam has done…then reading about it may do little to get them informed.
The people are the ones who are going to have to force, in some way, our leaders to read and do whatever else there is available to get themselves informed….After all its the leaders who can do something to bring Islam into present day society….but we the people can not just sit back and HOPE…we must also put forth an extra effort….. Write, email, call, visit and actually camp out on the doorsteps of our elected officials…..GET THEIR ATTENTION!!!
Susan B says
You have sold me, I will order my copy today.
mortimer says
Give copies to local libraries and politicians and church leaders.
Susan B says
Good idea.

Thank you, Marc.

Somebody skilled in designing educational computer games should base one on the contents of this book! The more you know, the higher you score!!! Do well, and you advance to various levels: novice, intermediate, expert, superexpert, the next Robert Spencer.
mortimer says
Good thinking, Eduardo.
We need a next generation of well-informed counterjihadists who cannot be tricked by TAQIYYA about jihad.
duh swami says
Haha…If I got that much praise I would have a seizure…
Thumbs up Robert, I’m always on your side…
traci94 says
I can not wait to get my copies; I ordered a hardcover and a kindle version. If I had the money, I would buy one for every member of Congress. Hey, maybe we can start a fund for that??? I know, doubtful. But, a copy of this needs to get into the hands of every one of our representatives (even Keith Ellison!!)
Janette Wells says
Sending a copy of the book to every politician and crowd funding this is a brilliant idea!! Do it!
About 7 years ago a friend and I bought a bulk discounted order of Rev Dr Mark Durie’s “The Third Choice” (about Dhimmitude) and sent a copy to every Senator in Australia. At least we felt we had let them know what could be in store for Australia if they remained (wilfully) ignorant and didn’t change their game plan.
At least those who genuinely want to know will have the RS’s information at hand and can never disown that they now know.
Go for it guys!

Geert Wilders on Robert Spencer’s History of Jihad: “Fantastic, a must-read for all freedom-loving people!”
………………….
And Geert Wilders is one of my heroes. Here is my “Heroes Against Jihad” tributes to the great man:

Robert Spencer is one of my heroes. As is Geert Wilders, Prof Joseph Campbell and Kurt Godel.

SUPERB, RINGING WORDS by Geert Wilders !!!

Over the longest period of time, Islam has been the single greatest mistake in man’s history.
Islam is not only wrong, it is monstrously wrong. And there should be no more defending of it by anyone who values the human species. Yes, Islam is this terrible.

Demsci says
Wellington, It could be that you mean “mankind’s worst mistaken set of ideas/ ideology” by shere contents, regardless of how far it spread and how many humans it influenced
or that you mean:
the combination of being a bad set of ideas AND it’s size and life span, that is in its influence and success/ tenacity.
In the second case there MIGHT be worst mistakes of sets of ideas but not on this scale and in this long timeframe.
Demsci says
Maybe we should regret that mankind so massively so long falls for/ is manipulated by this malfunctioning ideology.
But we might comfort ourselves by seeing Islam as a baseline, after which we can endeavour to identify and celebrate the better sets of ideas/ ideologies, and contrast them with Islam. I for one like the Enlightenment and democracy as defined in our time, to appreciate them as BETTER THAN ISLAM.
mortimer says
Demsci, EVERY HONEST PERSON CAN SEE that ALL Islamic countries are DYSFUNCTIONAL.
There isn’t a single FREE, PLURALISTIC, DEMOCRATIC, EGALITARIAN Muslim country.
PEOPLE WANT TO LEAVE MUSLIM COUNTRIES EN MASSE!
MUSLIMS CAN’T WAIT TO LEAVE MUSLIM COUNTRIES!
That is the GREATEST practical and ‘non-intellectual’ argument against Islam.

Bimbo Paradise….LOL.

Demsci says
I am curious about the impact of this book in Holland.
People like me will buy it and devour it, but can we use it in discussions? Can we entice opponents to check it, let us tell them about it?
Bitter experience tells me that opponents will ignore it, discard it as prejudiced, painting with one brush all Muslims, bigoted etc. They will use the tu quoque defense ad nauseam. If they do not terminale the discussion in which this book is used.
When in power the left,
consciously or subconsciously allied with Muslims against counterjihadists, conservatieve,
is so arrogant, so hypocritical with their double standards.
The conservatives are upset about something, namely Islam and it’s influence, but the Left, in power, can afford to ignore and snub it.
That is why I value electoral results like that of President Trump in USA so much; it gives the left something to be very upset about. And now it is often the turn of the conservatives to shrug the shoulders when the leftists want to discuss their worries, fears, emotions.
mortimer says
Demsci has an interesting plan … to ‘tempt’ opponents to read THE HISTORY OF JIHAD.
Demsci, my reaction is that it takes between 5 to 10 YEARS of reading to master the MEANING, MOTIVE and METHOD of the ISLAMIC TEXTS.
That is: anyone can ‘get the gist of Islam’ quickly, but to UNDERSTAND and KNOW that the conclusions are CORRECT and VERIFIED will take you MANY YEARS of study.
The LEFTARDS are CONSUMED BY THEIR AGENDA and so any inconvenient information will be rejected out of hand because they cannot afford to acknowledge contrary information.
THEIR ENTIRE AGENDA WILL COLLAPSE IF THEY ACKNOWLEDGE that Islam is RELIGIOUS FASCISM.
Johann Riedler says
Dear Robert!
I watched some presentations of your book “History of Jihad” (especially that one with David Wood), and I appreciate it that you managed to give a complete history on this topic. Here in Europe there is so much ignorance about Jihad, we hear fake arguments, like the “famous” history of the so much tolerant Al Andalus, and the “bad” Crusades.
To combat these fake arguments it would be helpful to translate your book into GERMAN, ASAP. If edited some weeks before Chritmas this year it would be fine.
Could we hope for an edition in German until middle of November 2018.
Sincerely, Johann.
Robert Spencer says
There would have to be a German publisher. Do you know of one that would be willing to publish this book?
Johann Riedler says
I guess there will be one who already published books critical with respect to Islam. I shall give you some:
Thilo Sarrazin published in “Deutsche Verlags Anstalt”, München,
Hamid Abdel Samad publishes in “Droemer Verlag”, “Droemer Knaur GmbH & Co KG, München,
Sabatina James publishes in Pattloch Verlag, Droemer Knaur Verlag & Co KG, München,
Bill Warner publishes his German translations in CSPI Publishing Inc. USA, distributing via his European address: CSPI International, Lidicka 700/19, 60200 Brno, Czech Republic.
These are just some; if it does not work out with one of them I could give you some other publishers.
Sincerely, Johann
