“Robert Spencer’s Book THE HISTORY OF JIHAD FROM MUHAMMAD TO ISIS,” by Dr. Ted Baehr, The Culture Watch, November 7, 2018:
Once every decade or two, there are books that are so well conceived that they change the cultural argument. In the 21stCentury, THE HISTORY OF JIHAD by Robert Spencer is just such a book.
Robert Spencer, the author of 18 books, some of them New York Times bestsellers, carefully shows the 14 centuries of the cruel Muslim armed struggle against and conquest of Non-Muslims, and, in fact, against civilization itself. No one else has taken the time to chronicle the 1400 years of war perpetrated by Islam against the rest of the world. Not only is the book incredibly detailed, relying on Muslim documents, including the Qur’an and the Hadith, as well as the words of contemporary chroniclers themselves, both Muslim and non-Muslim, but the book is also a great read.
Having debated Muslims at the University of San Francisco, in Kiev, Ukraine, and in Rhodes, Greece, I was amazed to discover incredibly detailed information about the 1400 years of violent, mean-spirited, and extremely cruel Islamic jihad that’s conquered and enslaved countries, religions, and civilizations – from Arabia to North Africa and Persia, from Spain to India, from Tel Aviv to New York City — in the most inhuman and evil ways. For example, in 500 years, the Muslims slaughtered tens of millions of people in India alone.
As Robert Spencer notes: “If the facts in this book were widely known, many of the policy errors of the last twenty years could have been avoided. We have made numerous policy mistakes since 9/11, both domestic and foreign, because policymakers did not know the history of jihad or why it mattered. The History of Jihad reveals the false assumptions of the foreign policy experts that still dominate our national discussion about terrorism, immigration, and other issues….”
THE HISTORY OF JIHAD FROM MUHAMMAD TO ISIS is must reading and exciting reading that shatters the many myths about Islam. If the civilized world full of faith and values is to survive and defeat radical terror, people must read this THE HISTORY OF JIHAD FROM MUHAMMAD TO ISIS.

I am up to page 22, “Muhammad against the Jews”. Thank you, Mr. Spencer, for doing a great service to mankind by writing this book. I pray for God’s blessings to many persons, including you, Mr. Spencer.

Related to this, there are two very important messages there are very much worth reiterating.
First, on the date of 9/25/ 18 President Trump during a speech declared “ISIS has been driven out of Iraq and Syria.” This is both a truth and a triumph .so far so good. This is actually very good.
Likewise, the scholar and author, Robert Spencer, in his latest book which has the title of THE HISTORY OF JIHAD FROM MUHAMMAD TO ISIS . For on page it reads “When Donald Trump replaced Barack as president of the United States, Iraqi forces and other began rolling up the Islamic State strongholds, such that within a year of the beginning of the Trump presidency , the Islamic State had lost nine-eight of its territory .”
As good as the collapse of that Islamic “state” is we must not remember that the source and inspiration for and of that vicious and murderous jihad entity, ISIS, has not collapsed .Therefore we should not let our guard down regarding such heinous dangers. The source and inspiration is Islam.
Second, concerning ISIS there remains the ,very important, question “How to truly defeat ISIS once and for all ?” The answer to that question was provided in a speech by the ISIS spokesman, Abu Muhammad al Adnani, now dead, in this speech he had declared “True defeat is a loss of willpower and desire to fight…” he further explained “We would be defeated and you victorious only if you are able to remove the Quran from Muslim hearts.” All this leads to a very important question: “Is the Quran the Word of God or is it a fabrication of a man. Thus, is the Quran the truth or a fiction and a hoax ?” The jihadists, as those of ISIS use many verses from the Quran as the main source of justification for their violence, mayhem and murders. As found in For example, 2:191.. 4:47 5:33. 9:5,111,123. 47:4 The answer is clearly given on pages 145 through 157 in THE ISLAMIC INVASION by Robert Morey in which he wrote a section on the Quran with its self-contradictions. Just two of the many he cited are the following “The Quran differs on whether a day is a thousand years or fifty thousand years in God’s sight’ and “Who was first to believe? Abraham or Moses [Sura 6:14 versus 7:143]? The above is inconsistent and illogical. Further, Morey wrote about “The fact that Judaism and Christianity broke up into different sects was used in the Quran to prove that they are not of God [Suras 30:20-32. 42:13, 14]. Yet Islam has broken up into many warring sects and therefore cannot be true if the Quran is right.” Moreover, Morey in his book shows many more contradictions and absurdities in the Quran, there are and how Muhammad incorporated extra Biblical and Jewish folklore along with pre-Islamic Arabian myth and parts of Zoroastrian and Hindu stories into the Quran. Furthermore, the Muslims claim that “the Quran is the direct, literal word of God unmodified in any way by the Prophet who uttered them at the bidding of God.” Nevertheless, in the book UNVEILING ISLAM by Ergun Mehmet and Eethi Caner has shown that the Quran was modified in the following account on pages 45. “Muhammad felt the need to improve on the words of Allah, since he changed Allah’s wisdom for his own on several occasions. A hadith tells of the nonchalant emendations of Muhammad:’ On a number of occasions he [a scribe] had, with the Prophet’s consent changed the closing words of verses. For example, when the prophet had said ‘God is mighty and wise ‘ Adbollah b. Abi Sarh suggested writing down ‘Knowing and wise’ and the Prophet answered that there was no objection. Having observed a succession of changes of this type, Adbollah renounced Islam on the grounds that revelations, if from God could not be changed at the prompting of a scribe such as himself. After his apostasy he went to Mecca and joined the Qorayshites.’ Other writers reveal that later Muhammad and his people did go war with the Qorayshites and he personally killed Abdollah. Obviously Abdollah knew too much and Muhammad wanted Abdollah’s knowledge to die with him.” In conclusion, the Quran is not only a fiction, it’s also a hoax.

“How to truly defeat ISIS once and for all ?” The answer to that question was provided in a speech by the ISIS spokesman, Abu Muhammad al Adnani, now dead, in this speech he had declared “True defeat is a loss of willpower and desire to fight…” he further explained “We would be defeated and you victorious only if you are able to remove the Quran from Muslim hearts.”
So far, full agreement. But then you go on…
All this leads to a very important question: “Is the Quran the Word of God or is it a fabrication of a man?”
What is so important about this question? It is irrelevant. The very important question it leads to is: how to remove the Quran from Muslim hearts? Isn’t that obvious since you’ve just quoted it yourself? All the reasoning in the world proving anything about the Qur’an has no bearing whatsoever on the fact that the Qur’an lives in Muslims’ hearts. The Qur’an is not in Muslims’ hearts because no one clever enough has yet come along (until now) to persuade them that the Qur’an is a hoax.

The book is great, but I seriously doubt it’s about to “change the cultural argument”. Robert’s pariah status as an “Islamophobe” renders him (and his influence} effectively outside the cultural mainstream. Truth is, even if the most mainstream author who was thoroughly entrenched in the liberal culture had written this book, it would be forthrightly dismissed as Islamophobic and said author would immediately find himself declared persona non grata at the table of polite society.
Still, the truth is the truth and high or high-water, it needs to be continuously promulgated. In that vein, Robert’s book is as important as any book on the market today.
