Recently the brilliant David Wood and I got together to discuss my new book The History of Jihad From Muhammad to ISIS, and had a wide-ranging and illuminating discussion.
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. Preorder it here now.

In the new book by Robert Spencer which had the title of THE HISTORY OF JIHAD FROM MUHAMMAD TO ISIS of the many topics covered in this book on is the subject of Islam , females and male Muslims having them sex slaves. From history to current times . As forthe histroy of Muslim males having female sex slaves One brief quite on this is from page 366 it reads “In may 2011 ,a female Kuwaiti activist and politician ,Salwa al -Murtairi, noted that Harun al Rashid, the renowned Abbasid caliph from 786 to 809 ‘had 2,000 sex slaves .’ ”
Likewise, other authors have revealed that women are not viewed and equals in Islamic countries, they are thought of as property” and the “selling women and girls for prostitution is just the dehumanizing complement to forcing women and girls to cover their bodies and hair with veil.” [1] Likewise, a former Muslim who is now a Christian also revealed information about Islam and females sex slaves. For is exposed that “Slavery is cherished in the Qu ‘ran and non -Muslim girls and women are used a sex slaves. Also there is no protection for women in Islam; they are exposed to every kind of abuse on one hand, but on the other hand they are responsible for the temptation which afflicts men.” [2] Wow, all this cruel Islamic misogyny and not regard for human rights has its origin in the founder prophet of Islam, Muhammad. As shown by two Christian writers who in their book inform the reader that “Muhammad endorsed enslavement of all types…he endorsed sex –slavery as a gift from Allah, and enjoyed offering sex slaves as gifts…” So since Muhammad is view by Muslim as the perfect man and a great example it’s not surprise that, in time, Islam is enslaved more people than any other culture.” [3]

I was reading about the unfortunate Jewish poet Ka’b bin al-Ashraf’s unhappy end at the hands of one of muhammed’s murderous henchmen.
“I have never smelt a better scent this this…will you allow me to…smell your head”.Ka’b agreed.
It’s just that..It is the weirdest request:”smell your head”.What an odd thing to say…perhaps the Arabic version of ‘smell you later’?

Love this idea. I’ve been trying to get a good friend of mine to read “The History of Jihad” but he is not much of a reader. However, he watches documentaries all the time. I would love to see a documentary on “The History of Jihad”. I think it would reach a lot of people who aren’t big readers or don’t have time to read.

We have to get it into vide format

Devil wood made several blunders in debates, particularly with Dr shabir Ali. But he is more sober than other mithraist christian debaters like Sam shamoun and late Nabeel Qureshi (now in the middle of hellfire burning) who resorted to insults when they ran short of points . Jay Smith resorts to madness when mithraist christianity is exposed to be paganic. This is how most mithraist christians behave due to possession by the satan they call Holy Spirit.

Note that Ibrahim itace muhammed is not able to cite a single thing that David Wood or any other debater has gotten wrong.
Remember, this is someone who is so ignorant that he believes that the Dalai Lama is Hindu and that Christianity is Mithraism.

You know, Ibrahim, I think you’re slipping a bit, specifically I don’t think you mentioned “mithraist christianity” or “mithraist christians” enough times. I mean, c’mon, only three times in one paragraph? This just won’t do.
I’m pulling for you, buddy. You’ve got to go all out next time and try for at least five mentions in every paragraph of yours of “mithraist christianity” or “mithraist christians.” Absolutely. Stay focused. Go for the gusto. Just do it.

I hope despite what has happened the appalling Patreon and GoFundMe that Robert Spencer is going to be able to go ahead with his series of videos.

“this Week in Jihad” is a great idea. For me it will complete my trifecta of sites I am drawn to having week end rap-ups. Nearly every weekend my wife and I listen to the Abbeville Institute’s weekend rap up. Occasionally, I’ll listen to the Mises.org weekend rap up. I am far less likely to read or listen to what these groups say during the week. A weekend rap up allows for the possibility that Spencer may offer his informed perspective on the week’s events aside from merely mentioning a short version of what happened. I look forward to this.

Lovely to see the name “Mises” mentioned here!
Also looking forward to “this Week in Jihad”, as I already check thereligionofpeace.com regularly to read the weekly round-up of murder and mayhem committed in the name of Allah the Merciful, the Compassionate…

People must know the history of the people they invite into their country and their practices. Preferably before they are invited inside to commit terrorist attacks.

Just for interest sake, Adolf Hitler originally intended to title his book “Four and a Half Years of Struggle Against Lies, Stupidity and Cowardice”. His publisher Max Amann took him aside and said, ” ‘dolf, baby, we’ve gotta tighten that up a bit. Howzabout “Mein Kampf”? It’s short. Snappy. Sticks in people’s minds”. (I can’t confirm this as a historical quote). So “Mein Kampf it became, but the original title certainly put a fine point on his meaning.

Robert I just passed along the links to jihadwatch and recommendation for “The History of Jihad” on a list of resources to a friend who has a son in the military, both very concerned about what is going on with the hiring/enlistment of Muslims (who proceed to demand the “right” to wear hijab, etc., etc.). David goes on Part II of the list, you can’t hit these people with too much all at once!
