Jihad Watch

Exposing the role that Islamic jihad theology and ideology play in the modern global conflicts

Robert Spencer’s History of Jihad outselling Rumi…and the Qur’an!

Sep 8, 2018 3:36 pm By Robert Spencer

This graphic comes from Amazon’s “Islam” category, where my new book The History of Jihad From Muhammad to ISIS today placed ahead of Rumi and the Qur’an itself in sales.

Indeed, demand has been so high that the publisher and distributors were caught by surprise, and the book is now in its third printing, just weeks after its release. Amazon lists it as coming back into stock on September 19, but if you order now, you’ll receive a copy as soon as they’re available.

Why so much interest in this book? Because this is the first and only comprehensive narrative history of fourteen centuries of jihad activity worldwide. Order your copy by clicking here now.

    I predicted that ‘The History of Jihad’ by Robert Spencer would become an instant REQUIRED READING for all diplomats or security agents who deal with Islam … that includes nearly ALL OF THEM.

    The need to read ‘The History of Jihad’ by Robert Spencer will sweep the diplomatic and security communities around the world. This will be one of the biggest-selling books of the decade !

    I recommend that everyone get a copy of ‘The History of Jihad’ by Robert Spencer and give a second copy to a LEADER in their community. Then, if you are on TWITTER or FACEBOOK, post a NOTICE up about ‘The History of Jihad’ which you can easily do by clicking the links above!

    PLEASE POST THE BOOK on TWITTER and FACEBOOK NOW.

      “Required Reading for all diplomats or security agents who deal with Islam” what you mean is that they should read it but none of them will be bothered to even pickup a copy when they see it in a book shop.

          Robert, I am so happy for you…Congrats!!! and the world (that you wrote this book.) I read two of your other books and they were EXCELLENT. I am sure that this book will be just as good and an excellent look into history – for the Religion of Pieces!

      Maybe it would be a good idea to send the copy by Registered Mail and get a receipt. Inform the public as to whom you sent it and on which date.

      Try buying this book in Australia. Impossible to get. Amazon won’t post it to Australia. Can anyone help?
      Am wondering if the idiots here have decided to censor the book so they don’t offend the followers of the religion of peace!

      Unfortunately, most pious Muslims believe that 1400 years of bloody Jihad is a *good thing*.

      • Terry Gain says

        I am not sure about that. My guess is that most Muslims have the same erroneous opinion of Islam as Bush, Pope Francis and Theresa May. On the other hand, Obama may know Islam’s history.

        • mortimer says

          Sep 8, 2018 at 6:51 pm

          Agree with Terry. Most Muslims have not read any Islamic history. When they do, they are shocked by all the brutality. Ex-Muslim Mark Gabriel (PhD) asked his mentor at Al Azhar University, ‘Why is our history a river of blood?’ The mentor did not deny it. This led Mark to find the source of the river and he found it in the primary source texts of Islam. He did not wish to remain in this violent cult that had so many horrible doctrines. Eventually, he realized that the Koran and hadiths were fabricated.

        • gravenimage says

          Sep 8, 2018 at 6:54 pm

          Terry, with all respect, I think the idea that most Muslims consider Islam to be genuinely peaceful is mistaken.

          If this were the case, surely the majority of Muslims would be out demonstrating against Jihad violence, insisting that their violent coreligionists have gotten Islam all wrong.

          Instead, this is rare as hen’s teeth.

          And on the few occasions when Muslims have come out against terrorism, one usually finds that they what they consider terrorism is Israel or the US defending against Jihad.

        • vlparker says

          Sep 9, 2018 at 11:24 am

          I don’t think so. Look at the muslim enclaves in Paris, London, Dearborn, etc. They know exactly what islam is and they always cover for the terrorists. Thousands of muslims show up for demonstrations against cartoons but only a handful show up whenever there is a muslim brave enough to demonstrate against Islamic violence. They come out in droves to block streets in a display of Islamic supremacism. Hundreds or maybe thousands marched through the streets of London chanting, “UK, go to hell.” I say again, they know exactly what islam is.

          That notwithstanding, I do believe there are good muslims out there who might be persuaded by the book to leave islam. Former muslims Nonie Darwish, Bosch Fawstin, Ayaan Hirsi Ali, Wafa Sultan and Anni Cyrus are all good people, and no doubt they were also good people when they were muslims. How many more of them are there that might leave islam if they read the book? But if you’re counting on muslims to suddenly realize that they have been fooled all their lives and will one day come over to our side you are going to have a long, long wait.

        • gravenimage says

          True, vlparker.

        Mortimer writes that the Quran and Hadith’s are fabricated. I believe that it is authentic Satanic book with the aim of creating a satanic army.

        • Billy Chickens says

          I agree with Proud Kaafir.

          Sep 8, 2018 at 10:49 pm

          If Mohammed could not distinguish between the words of God and the words of Satan (the Satanic Verses), how can we trust anything that he said … even one word?

          In fact, the entire story of Mohammed’s “prophethood” and his “revelations” are very suspect when viewed in the light of hadiths that recount Mohammed’s curious seizures, fits, snortings, rolling on the ground, sweats, strange dreams, visions, bizarre commands (adult breast feeding) and many other disqualifying characteristics for a valid prophet. In addition, the family of Mohammed’s mother were renowned spirit mediums. The hypothesis that Mohammed was himself a kind of spirit medium with ‘Gabriel’ as his ‘guiding spirit’ is very plausible.

        • vlparker says

          Sep 9, 2018 at 1:50 pm

          The whole religion is fabricated, but that is beside the point. The point is that muslims believe it is real and we have to deal with those beliefs today. Whether Mohammad existed or not makes a good discussion topic, but regardless, he is very real today in the minds of muslims and in the disastrous effects that has on the non-muslim world.

          The only hope for salvation from Islamic domination of the West is for politicians to get educated about true islam and for them to grow a spine. The more people that understand the true history of islam, the more pressure there will be on the politicians. This book is a giant step in that direction.

          Europe is heading toward civil war. Many of the people are finally getting fed up and electing anti-migration politicians. Hopefully, Sweden will follow suit today. And hopefully this book will help the US reverse course and eliminate the mistakes the Europeans have made.

          Muhammad and Temporal Lobe Epilepsy (TLE)

          http://www.faithfreedom.org/Articles/sina41204.htm

          Here is how Muhammad described his mystical experiences:

          “The Revelation is always brought to me by an angel: sometimes it is delivered to me as the beating sound of the bell–and this is the hardest experience for me; but sometimes the angel appears to me in the shape of a human and speaks to me.”

          “Those who saw the Prophet (pbuh) in this state relate that his condition would change. Sometimes he would stay motionless as if some terribly heavy load was pressed on him and, even in the coldest day, drops of sweat would fall from his forehead” [41] At other times he would move his lips.

          Ibn Sa’d says, “at the moment of inspiration, anxiety pressed upon the Prophet, and his countenance was troubled” [1]

          “He fell to the ground like one intoxicated or overcome by sleep; and in the coldest day his forehead would be bedewed with large drops of perspiration. Inspiration descended unexpectedly, and without any previous warning.”

          “Then Allah’s Apostle returned with that experience; and the muscles between his neck and shoulders were trembling till he came upon Khadija (his wife) and said, “Cover me!” They covered him, and when the state of fear was over”.

          All these are symptoms of Temporal Lobe Epilepsy. The following is a partial list of the Temporal Lobe Seizure Symptoms & Signs as defined in health.allrefer.com

          Following Michael’s link, there’s a book (about fourteen down) that looks to be rather in a category by itself (Frank Anderson might find it of particular interest). The title is:

          Jihad & Co.: Black Markets and Islamist Power. The two reviews should fill you in.

    Great!
    And ahead of the koran?

    muhammed must be turning in his grave:oh wait..he doesn’t have one.
    Despite being a mass-murderer{abu Dawud 4390}he was apparently taken
    into allah’s paradise after being bitten by a snake{Rich symbolism indeed…!}
    And he himself didn’t get to be a martyr.Of course allah won’t be able to read it unless it’s translated into 7th century Arabic.

    • mortimer says

      Sep 8, 2018 at 6:57 pm

      FYI, do not make up your own facts. Mohammed was poisoned, likely by his own closest followers. He was immediately buried under his bed in the middle of the night. And a big tomb exists in Medina. There is talk that the Saudis want to demolish his tomb.

      Spencer’s book is out there already.
      And allah can do NOTHING to prevent it from being read.
      Even more so, sales on the internet exceed those of his own ‘book’ ( the quran).
      Looks like dumb allah must admit he’s unfit for our times.
      allah is for dummies and psychopaths.

    Order the book! An absolute must read because it not only includes the history of jihad but the original religious sources that command jihad.

    I ordered my copy in late August. At that time Amazon was waiting for more copies to arrive and the delivering date was sometime between September 20 and October something. Next time I checked, the book was scheduled to be sent out around September 11; however, I received my copy September 6.

    Mr. Spencer, your publisher is to be commended for getting this important book reprinted so quickly.

  17. tim gallagher says

    Sep 9, 2018 at 4:56 pm

    Congratulations on the success of the book, Robert. The strong demand for the book shows that there is a big thirst for knowledge of the truth about Islam, which is a very good thing. I think that it shows that an increasing number of people aren’t buying the rubbish that Islam is peaceful and is nothing to worry about that so much of the media and political sellout merchants keep telling people. People know there’s a problem. If many more people read your books, Robert, then many more people will discover the truth about Islam as opposed to the garbage they have been previously fed. You are doing some of the most important work anyone can do in these times when Islam and Muslim immigration into our western countries and other non-Muslim countries is such a threat.
