Jihad Watch

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

Now available: The History of Jihad audiobook — read by Robert Spencer

Oct 10, 2018 3:45 pm By Robert Spencer

The audiobook of my bestselling book The History of Jihad From Muhammad to ISIS — read by me, the first of my books that I have recorded for audio — is now available here. And you can get the hardcover here and the Kindle here.

In this book, for the first time, is the entire history of Islamic jihad activity from the beginning of Islam to the present day – from Spain to India, from Muhammad’s massacre of Jews at the Khaybar oasis in Arabia to the hijacked jets taking down the World Trade Center, and beyond.

In The History of Jihad From Muhammad to ISIS, the renowned scholar of Islam Robert Spencer briskly traces the 1,400-year war of Islamic jihadis against the rest of the world, detailing the jihad against Europe, including the 700-year struggle to conquer Constantinople; the jihad in Spain, where non-Muslims fought for another 700 years to get the jihadi invaders out of the country; and the jihad against India, where Muslim warriors and conquerors wrought unfathomable devastation in the name of their religion.

This briskly readable book spans the globe, involves multitudes, and introduces you to numerous unforgettable characters, including:

  • The Christian whose personal grudge facilitated the jihad conquest of Spain
  • The emperor of India who treated his non-Muslim subjects with tolerance and kindness – because he had grown disenchanted with Islam
  • The Sultan who commanded the jihad conquest of Cyprus because he had grown fond of Cypriot wine
  • The Christian leader who was hanged outside his cathedral for five days as a warning to other Christians not to resist Islamic rule
  • And many, many more, vividly portrayed in this rich historical epic

Told in great part in the words of contemporary chroniclers themselves, both Muslim and non-Muslim, The History of Jihad From Muhammad to ISIS definitively proves the falsehood of the prevailing assumption that Islam is fundamentally peaceful and that jihad terrorism is relatively new. This book demonstrates beyond any doubt that Islamic terror is as old as Islam itself — as old as Muhammad, the prophet of Islam, who said “I have been made victorious through terror” – and is a constant of Islamic history.

This book is the key to understanding the geopolitical situation of the twenty-first century, and the challenges that free nations will be facing for generations to come. Get the audiobook here now.

    Yes, the book . HISTORY OF JIHAD FROM MUHAMMAD TO ISIS by Robert Spencer, which I had bought and reads was very informative and Interesting. As the the later part of this book exposes not only exposes the brutal and murderous nature of the jihad entity ,ISIS but Mr, Spencer in his book also explains and exposes the violent and murdering jihadists of ISIS are engaging in non-watered down hard core Qur ‘an based Islam and not as the propagandists for Islam claim, as a cover up to hide the violent and deadly essence of Islam , that “the ISIS terrorist have only hijacked the peaceful religion of Islam.” that is a total invalid and false claim that the many propagandists for Islam say.

    Furthermore, the Muslims who make up the jihadists of that heinously murderous and destructive jihad entity ,ISIS ,with all their awful violence are best at one things which creating inflecting death on humans and disaster and destruction The ISIS /jihadists never create or make anything of value, or that is good and worthwhile . They are only destructive and not ever constructive. The jihadists of ISIS destroy people, buildings , both religious and non-religious building , They destroy other kinds of architecture , both ancient and modern architecture, Thy destroy music, they destroy literature and manuscripts .Those jihadists of ISIS with their jihad for Islam only destroy .
    As for the last two items of value on this above list which the ISIS/ Muslim destroy. Which are literature and manuscripts this is an example of who history can repeats itself. In this case with ISIS and Muslims the jihad for their religion . For in ancient history and for years after the close of ancient history there was the grand and wonderful Library of Alexandra in Egypt which building that contained much literature and many manuscripts of great value and worth . Then in the year AD 642 came the zeal- filled Muslim warriors who then destroyed building that was that library and all the valuable manuscripts and literature contained in the building. As was in those destructive jihad-minded Muslims in the year 642.who destroyed it all . So it is with the jihad –minded Muslims of ISIS in the twenty -first century .They just destroy.

    To become more clear regarding the history of warrior /jihadist Muslims with their closed Islamic minded and which now is reflected by the destructive actions of the warrior/ jihadists of ISIS is the following .
    “The Library of Alexandria was he center of intellectual life in the Hellenistic and Roman periods, holding scrolls of all Greek literature and thought, joined by the Latin works once the Romans started writing anything worth reading. In AD 642 shortly after the founding of Islam ,a Muslim army captured Alexandria , and their leader said “If those book are in agreement with Koran, we have no need of them: and if those are opposed to the Koran , destroy them.” [1]

    Could somebody please send an Audiobook to ….pope saint francis?

    Since he seems to have difficulty with “proper reading”..as we saw with his famous analysis of the koran as “being opposed to every form of violence”,perhaps he might LISTEN to an Audiobook.

    “I don’t read the Bible.I listen to it”
    {Tweet by francis on 4 june 2018 3:17 AM}

    Maybe francis will be inspired to LISTEN to the Truth since after all,the man he claims to be named after,
    St Francis of Assisi,has been described by francis as “the Apostle of the Ear”.

    Listen francis,listen:Do you hear that?

    Do you hear the sounds of the massacred Christians,you defender of islam ??

    So are western governments going to slap Saudi Arabia on the back again & give them another free pass after Jamal Khashoggi was lured into the Saudi Embassy in Turkey, then killed & cut up for being a dissident? We were told 9/11 was done by a bunch of Saudis, yet the US have been best of friends with them ever since. Not to even mention all the human rights issues in Saudi Arabia. It seems the Saudis can do anything they want & western countries just say “yes sir” due to the oil. What a disgraceful lot of pandering politicians.
