An update on this post: yesterday, my new book The History of Jihad From Muhammad to ISIS was officially released, and immediately zoomed to #1 in three Amazon categories: Middle East History (where the Kindle edition is also number three), Muhammad, and Islam. This morning it is the #1 bestseller in two more categories as well: African Politics and Middle Eastern Politics (where again, the Kindle edition is number three).
Thanks again to all of you who have made this happen. If you haven’t ordered already, find out now what the excitement is all about: order your copy of The History of Jihad From Muhammad to ISIS here.

The HISTORY OF JIHAD by Robert Spencer is an instant best-seller. Soon it will be a MUST-HAVE and a MUST-READ for all diplomats, legislators, church leaders and historians.
The HISTORY OF JIHAD by Robert Spencer is headed to becoming a world-changing book that will be one of the fatal blows to the credibility of Islam and Leftist globalism.
The HISTORY OF JIHAD by Robert Spencer proves that Islam is not compatible with any other political system or religion. Islam is TOTALITARIAN, OBSCURANTIST and RETROGRADE … Islam is a violent BRONZE-AGE IDEOLOGY and The HISTORY OF JIHAD by Robert Spencer proves it. .

Very interesting take you have on this book as you note…”The HISTORY OF JIHAD by Robert Spencer is an instant best-seller. Soon it will be a MUST-HAVE and a MUST-READ for all diplomats, legislators, church leaders and historians.
The HISTORY OF JIHAD by Robert Spencer is headed to becoming a world-changing book that will be one of the fatal blows to the credibility of Islam and Leftist globalism.”
I hope these you mention above “diplomats, legislators, church leaders and historians” do read it, but these are few in number and are part of the ruling classes, certainly you can say the elites, but the true knowledge about Islam has to become the property of the masses, especially of the working class, and so what people often call “leftists” and who will hate this book, and try to slander and distort it, are not socialists at all. This is an important point often causing great confusion.
What I suggest is not idle words. Of course the liars like to portray Tommy Robinson as of the right, but he is not, nor is his following, who are mostly working class people driven out of their modest working class homes and towns by a Muslim takeover. And the youth who have everything to live for. Those are the main forces. Interesting you do not see the book in that way.

Many in the West know little or nothing about the threat of Islam. This is not an issue of class.

Congrats Robert. I must purchase my copy.

Mine arrives tomorrow.
The left, in cooperation with the Jihadis, is trying desperately to eliminate any mention of the truth about Jihad by any means necessary. It is forcing the social media to suppress the truth, and to promote Jihad.
The left has successfully caused Youtube, Twitter and Facebook to remove content by those who tell the truth.
If they are successful in getting Amazon to suppress the truth, we will truly be in deep trouble.
Buy his book while you still can.
Freedom of speech in the USA? Don’t fool yourself.

“Buy his book while you still can.”
The problem is, if you get the Kindle edition, as I already have, Amazon still has the capability of deleting the book from your library, removing all traces of it, and refunding your money, as if that would make up for the inconvenience. I’m sure somewhere in the voluminous legalese you agree to in the terms of service, there is a clause that Amazon may delete any content it wishes.
Unfortunately, if I had more dust-collecting paper editions in my house, I would have to step sideways.
Seriously, be aware that any electronic edition managed by Amazon is subject to change or deletion. I don’t believe in government forcing companies to do business they don’t wish to do, but I think there should be some protection for the individual consumer when dealing with a monopoly-like power like Amazon. Monopoly entities should not have the power to ruin customers they have already agreed to do business with, even if they do slip this permission into the terms of service. It’s like, you can’t sign a contract selling yourself into slavery. The government does monitor and regulate certain basic principles of law.

Good points RonaldB, I currently have an electronic one but will get a hard copy soon. Scary to think about “who ever has the power” over the electronic media can do to free speech.

My copy came in the mail yesterday.

Fantastic. Congratulations, Robert!

Just ordered my hard copy, coming Friday. Can’t wait to read it. Thank you Robert for how much you have taught us and continue to do so.
TWG says
WOW! Wonderful news, and oh so encouraging to know that people are taking it upon themselves to learn about this mortal threat. Mr. Spencer’s work is superb, and I pray these books get into the hands of some very powerful and influential people. I would love to see this book on the required reading list for all educators and students….. but that would be viewed by the islammunists as xenophobic, I’m sure. The unions would shut that down before it even saw a vote.

Just checked my email. Mine is out for delivery. Plan on starting it tonight.

Kudos to Robert.

Robert Spencer’s History of Jihad now #1 bestseller in FIVE Amazon categories

*Excellent*!

I ordered the book yesterday . Good news that I helped it to number one in the sales . I expect I will have difficulty reading it, as anything related to this totalitarian death cult is extremely depressing .
fredoniahead says
I pre-ordered the book back in July.
If you have a Kindle, you can get the Kindle version for only $2.99 if you buy the hard copy book.
That way, you don’t have to wait until the book arrives to begin reading. For only $3 extra, that’s what I did. The book is nearly 500 pages, so there is a lot of reading.
I was told they ship on the 11th and delivery is by the 14th or 15th.

If Amazon goes the way of political censorship, then Bezos can expect his company to work as well as the DNC. There are other ways to buy and sell books.
Jim says
A member of Congress has pressured Amazon to remove all hateful materials such as Robert Spencer’s new book. (He has no problem with Mein Kampf) The best counter-pressure we can apply is to show Amazon how profitable it is for them to offer conservative (“hateful”) books by ordering more copies of Robert’s book, as well as all our other favorite “haters”. Amazon is a business. Money talks. This is no time to save money by borrowing a copy. Your money doesn’t just buy a book. It buys the availability of such books. Consider the purchase price a donation to fund free speech. Order multiple copies!
fredoniahead says
That member of Congress was Keith “Qazi” Ellison. Who in the hell elected him?. Muslims are bad enough but to be expected given their tact at legerdemain, but the voters in Minnesota have no excuse except for plain old-fashioned stupidity and clueless “give me a whole bottle of blue pills” leftism.
The photo of Ellison standing there being sworn in on Jefferson’s antique qurans with Nancy Pelosi grinning like an opiated Cheshire Cat is nauseating. Either not knowing or not caring that the quran supersedes the Constitution and he is swearing to whatever it says…NOT the Constitution.
by the way….I JUST RECEIVED AN EMAIL STATING MY BOOK ORDER HAS SHIPPED, COMPLETE WITH TRACKING INFO AND WORD I SHOULD RECEIVE IT THIS SATURDAY VIA UPS.
It is absolutely surreal that we, on this site, are nervous Amazon may pull a fast one and succumb to the Stalinist left and their attacks on free speech and not ship the books. I sure hope the hell they don’t. It is one thing to take down a website, quite another to ban books that are printed and on palettes for shipment, authors contracts, etc. I pray Jeff Bezos is not the scumbag these Communist congressmen and techno-nazis are.

And now Keith Ellison has groomed another Muslim to take his place in Congress and is running for attorney general of Minnesota.
