Jihad Watch

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

The History of Jihad: Now in its third printing, less than a month after release

Sep 6, 2018 8:42 pm By Robert Spencer

Interest is extremely high in my new book The History of Jihad From Muhammad to ISIS. Demand was so much higher than expected that the first and second printings sold out almost immediately. However, a third printing is now in process, and the book will be available again soon; you can order it here now and your order will be filled when the third printing comes in.

As you can see in the photo above, yesterday and today I was at the Federation for American Immigration Reform’s Hold Their Feet to the Fire Radio Row, discussing the book and related issues on 26 radio shows spanning the nation. What is causing all this excitement? Find out: order The History of Jihad now.

    I hope you sell to the whole including the Islamic nations. I also hope it will wake up more infidels and muslims about this religion of peace.

    How did we get here where we have to wake up people to Islam while Islam has been butchering people for centuries?

    It is still mind boggling to me, this whole Jihad BS.

    Thank you Robert for fighting for freedom.

          Andy…the name Oliver Darcy does not seem to match the face of this CNN Senior Media Reporter. The name sounds English but actually has French and Irish roots. He looks like he could have Middle Eastern ancestry to me and in these days of soft and hard jihad one’s heritage can be quite relevant and so I looked for a bio. The closest I found was the link below which paints him as anti-Leftist and pro-Free Speech (hardly Jones’ take). There’s one curious paragraph however and it states:

          “Despite making a name for himself in the world of political and social commentary, Oliver prefers to keep his personal life fairly private and so LITTLE is known about his childhood, upbringing, or relationships.”

          Could it be he’s hiding something?

        I did Amazon too.

        But now that you mention it, while I’ve seen and purchased in Canada, OTHER books by Mr. Spencer, I can’t say I’ve seen this one in the stores.

        But then I HAVE noticed that is usually liberal books that get face out placings on the shelves.

        Most conservatives just get a spine showing.

        Probably need to be on some 2-Facebook p.c. list to get your “Bookface” out.

      It needs to be in Spanish – to get circulation across Latin America; and Portuguese, ditto, for Brazil. . It needs to be in HIndi and a slew of other Indian regional official languages so that it can be circulated and understood amongst *ordinary* people; many in India speak English at some level but many still do not, and they *need* to know this stuff; Spencer covers what Jihad did to India… horrifying.

  12. brane pilot says

    Sep 7, 2018 at 2:34 am

    This is the most terrifying book in print.
    The most demented, sadistic mind could not fabricate the horrors revealed.
    Yet it is as clinical and passionless as an autopsy report in a criminal trial.
    The documentation trail back to historic sources for every fact, is as rigorous and exhaustive as any work of history to come out of an ivy league University Press; and I have read a few.
    This book was a generation overdue.
    It will be dismissed as hate speech.
    Because at no time in human history has the truth been so dangerous, or the stakes so high, or those opposed to truth so entrenched and organized and determined.
    They sense the End Game, and this book stands in their way.
    Read this book. Ignorance on this issue is no longer an option for free people.

    Anyone reading here who has soldiers amongst their social circle – and policemen – needs to get this book into their (soldiers’, cops’) hands. THEN they know what they are up against; that every act of Muslim aggression on our streets is an **act of war**.

      Can this be done?

  15. David says

    Sep 7, 2018 at 6:03 am

    I thoroughly recommend Mr Spencer’s book. What I found particularly interesting was the early history of Islam of which I had previously known very little. In my school history lessons, we learned all about the so-called “Dark Ages” after the Romans left their most westerly province Brittannia in 410 AD and of course we learned about the early Saxon Kings such as Alfred the Great, but Islam was never mentioned until we got to reading about the Crusades. So there was a big hole in my, (and I suspect most Westerners’ knowledge), of the early bloodthirsty history of Islam.
    One thing I was surprised was not mentioned was the Great Siege of Malta in 1565, when the Turks were repelled by the Knights of St John & with a lot of help from the Maltese of course. This was a very important victory for Christendom as, if the Turks had succeeded in conquering Malta, it would have been a stepping stone to the conquest of Italy. For anyone interested in this, I would recommend:- “The Great Siege: Malta 1565” by Ernle Bradford.
    In such a wide-ranging history, I suppose it was inevitable that some things might get left out. Overall, though I found the book to be a very comprehensive and educational summary, especially regarding Islam’s origins and its incredibly brutal and bloodthirsty early history.

    “One thing I was surprised was not mentioned was the Great Siege of Malta in 1565, when the Turks were repelled by the Knights of St John & with a lot of help from the Maltese of course.”

    David, you can read about the siege of Malta in Paul Fregosi’s book: “Jihad in the West: Muslim Conquests From the 7th to the 21st Centuries” (1998). 415 pp. He missed 9/11 by 3 years.

    Malta: Chapter 47, pp. 295-308.

    This book is highly recommended. It’s also a Jihad compendium. But, it doesn’t include India as the focus is Islam in the West.

  17. No Muzzies Here says

    Sep 7, 2018 at 8:08 am

    Upon reading the book, one asks the question: “Is Islam a religion?” Looks more like a violent political movement whose goal is to force everyone to practice one religion.

    • SavetheWest says

      Sep 7, 2018 at 8:38 am

      Robert has said many times that Islam is a religion.

      It’s just a BAD religion.

    • eduardo odraude says

      Sep 7, 2018 at 12:29 pm

      Islam is both a government and a religion in one. Islam does not distinguish religion and state. The prime exemplar, Muhammad, was himself a theocratic ruler. You can argue that it’s a “false religion” and in that sense not a religion, but then you will get into a dispute with our atheist friends, who believe all religions are false. We don’t need that dispute here, we need to work for common ground in the opposition to Islam’s spread.

      So I like to sidestep the atheist-theist dispute and go for common ground. For example, even if we assume for the sake of argument that both Christianity and Islam are pure fantasy, the fact remains that Islam as a paradigm leads to closed, authoritarian societies, while the teachings attributed to the central figure of the New Testament lead to open societies. Why? Because 1) Muhammad was an authoritarian theocrat, and 2) because the New Testament’s Jesus says to “Give to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s, to God the things that are God’s,” and “my kingdom is not of this world.” Thus Christianized societies have always tended, if often in a confused way, to recognize that their should be two distinct social realms, the religious and the secular. Sometimes in history the secular power has waxed while the religious power waned, at other times the reverse happened, but there was always at least a latent sense that neither side was to have a monopoly of power. Gradually the appropriate boundaries have become better clarified, which led, via the Enlightenment, to the U.S. First Amendment.

    Very pleased I pre-ordered this book exposing the horrors of this false religion. Mind boggling how this deathcult of total evil is wrapped in a thin veil of religion. All the horrifying violence against all of creation, islam must repent.
    Congratulations on the third print so far.

    Hopefully the title of your next book will be; How islam disappeared from the world

  20. Don McKellar says

    Sep 7, 2018 at 9:32 am

    It’s that cover with the stark title and that blurb: “From Muhammad to ISIS” which links it all together — one long train through history of evil and destruction and terror. Captures the imagination and people want to know more about how that all played out. Then when people read the book and see how serious and well done it no doubt is, word of mouth spreads quickly.

    • StellaSaidSo says

      Sep 8, 2018 at 7:30 am

      I agree, Don McKellar, the sub-title ‘From Muhammad to ISIS’ is a master-stroke.

      Again – Congratulations to Robert Spencer on an awesome achievement!

    To the rightly guided Mr Robert Spencer.

    May I suggest, Mr Spencer, that you advertise your ground-breaking, new book as currently more popular than Al Qur’an!

    The free publicity generated by outrage from the clowns on the left and their fellow travelers would make sales go stratospheric world-wide!

  22. Barbara Ethel says

    Sep 7, 2018 at 11:05 am

    Ordered pretty much on publication day.
    Amazon said they’d deliver in late September. Seems a bit crazy, but hey ho.
    I hope it’ll arrive at all.

  23. JFlynn says

    Sep 7, 2018 at 11:46 am

    my amazon account is showing this book as “Currently unavailable. We don’t know when or if this item will be back in stock.”
    Please reassure me that this is because it is sold-out, and not that it is being censored.

    • eduardo odraude says

      Sep 7, 2018 at 5:03 pm

      Amazon.com from where I am says one can order now, and the book will be available again Sept 19.

      One can of course get a kindle version right now. And you don’t need a kindle device, because you can download a free kindle app onto your computer and read the book through that.

  24. eduardo odraude says

    Sep 7, 2018 at 12:05 pm

    It’s a fun book tracing some of the most central threads of human history. I’m up to the part about the jihad in India. In addition to its virtue of quoting the Muslim sources themselves, the book is quite colorful and dramatic. Some very strong characters appear.

    • eduardo odraude says

      Sep 7, 2018 at 12:12 pm

      And there could be no better interpreter than Spencer of the historical events the book describes. Because Spencer knows the Qur’an, Hadith, and Sira (the core Islamic texts) inside out, backwards and forwards, he recognizes instantly when a jihadist from the past is not just talking but paraphrasing some obscure passage from those core texts. The result is that we can see into the meaning of what is happening. That is like an oasis of knowledge in the Western desert of shameful ignorance about Islam and its history.

    • gravenimage says

      Sep 7, 2018 at 5:11 pm

      I’m not sure one could call this fun–but Robert Spencer is a very engaging writer.

    • Robert Spencer says

      I just finished voicing it yesterday. I don’t know how long it will take to produce but it shouldn’t be too very long.

  26. Why not Australia says

    Sep 8, 2018 at 3:08 pm

    Why is it not available in Australia?

    • Robert Spencer says

      Sep 8, 2018 at 3:14 pm

      Because demand was much higher than anticipated, and the publisher and distributors were caught by surprise. It should be available in Australia before too long.
