Jihad Watch

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

Robert Spencer’s History of Jihad proves that the golden age of Islam was “always at the expense of infidels”

Oct 22, 2018 4:51 pm By Robert Spencer

A fine review of my new book The History of Jihad From Muhammad to ISIS, which you can order here now.

“The History of Jihad by Robert Spencer, review by Dale Brown,” Islam, Mohammed and the Quran, October 20, 2018:

If you know anything about Robert Spencer you will know that he has spent most of his life consumed by research regarding Islam, Muhammad and the Quran.  As the director of Jihad Watch he has become one of the upmost authorities on the subject and for this he has been a target of scorn by liberals and even more seriously by Muslim fanatics who would very much like to silence him.  Because of his brave and open criticism of Muhammad’s little helpers he has been added to the list of those forbidden entry to England for fear of starting a riot that the authorities cannot contain.

This latest book compiles the most thoroughly documented history of Muslim violence to date.  Loaded with references from the Quran and quotes from historical documents that few have access to he paints a picture of an ongoing violent stream of jihadi activity that has filled the streets with blood both east and west.  When many authors look to find the glorious golden years of Islam Spencer proves that those golden years have always been at the expense of infidels and financed by those dhimmis who have submitted to paying the jizyah tax in support of the Muslim cause.  Islam is ultimately about power but Spencer and others have demonstrated that words have power as well, especially when based on truth. That is what this book is about the true history of terror that Islam has brought to the world since the day of prophet Muhammad when he and his followers raided caravans and slaughter Jewish villages in the Arabian desert.

He sheds more light on those nasty Crusaders that Muslims and liberals so often point to in defense of Muslim atrocities.  Had there been no invasion by Muslim soldiers there would have been no need for Crusaders.  The crusades did not get organized enough to even be talked about until several hundreds years after Muhammad’s followers had conquered most of North Africa and spread terror all the way to India.  In order to establish a worldwide governing Caliphate by year 711 Muslims stormed across the Strait of Gibraltar into Iberia (Spain), then by year 1001 Mahmud of Ghazni, the Sultan of the day, was destroying Hindu temples of idolatry converting them to Mosques and stacking up mountainous piles of human heads while the streets ran with blood. The Muslim slave market became so overwhelmed with victims that the average person could afford a slave. If you were a Muslim soldier you might have as many women sex slaves as you pleased.  Those were the Golden Years in India.  Muslim wealth through pillage….

While we in the west were shaken by radicals on 9/11 the rest of the world had been living this nightmare for hundreds of years.  Our politicians who had never read a Quran and knew little of this history were left baffled by our oil rich Muslim allies who kept tell them Islam is a religion of peace.  Well yes, all is peace when Islam is in control….

This was definitely one worth adding to my library.

    ……………..

    Exactly. If the West ever falls to Islam–God forbid!–that would be another “Golden Age of Islam, until Infidels flee, are forcibly converted to Islam, ground down by oppression and persecution, or just murdered outright by Muslims.

    Yes, the so-called “Golden Age of Islam” is one of the greater bullshit stories of all time, tending to prove the Emperor Napoleon’s cynical view of history (which I do fight within myself to come to since I think truth, though often very stubborn in unearthing, can still be found out the vast majority of the time), to wit, that it is a pack of lies agreed upon.

    No better example of this assessment by the Emperor can be found whenever medieval Islamic Spain is touted as a paradise of tolerated thought and belief. Yes, no better example.

    I’m reading this book very slowly… I keep getting near clinically depressed.

    The Islamic Golden Age happened by accident, rather than by design and a more vigilant caliph put a stop to it after Al Ghazzali wrote DIATRIBES THAT FINALLY SET THE STAGE TO CRUSH IT.

    Soon after Al Ghazzali’s DIATRIBES in favor of ISLAMIC OBSCURANTISM the Golden Age reverted to the brutal darkest of original Islam.

    Islam returned to calling philosophy ‘BIDA’ and suppressing literature, theology, music, art, culture and whatever else that makes life worth living.

    Change in Islam is considered evil … Muslims must return to the imagined, delusional perfection of the 7th century … an age of barbarism, backwardness, diseases, ignorance and poverty. Muslims prefer their backwardness. The greatest of fools today in the West are helping Muslims to impose their STIFLING BACKWARDNESS on the world so Muslims may crush the LIFE OUT OF IT.

      Remember the man in Iran who hosted Koran discussions. He put forward the suggestion that the story of Jonah and the whale be interpreted figuratively.
      He was arrested and hanged.
