The revised and expanded version of my book Did Muhammad Exist? An Inquiry Into Islam’s Obscure Origins won’t even be released until July 13, but it’s available for preorder here now, and has already zoomed to the top of the “Muhammad and Islam” category.
From the jacket:
Are jihadis dying for a fiction?
Everything you thought you knew about Islam is about to change.
Did Muhammad exist?
It is a question that few have thought—or dared—to ask. Virtually everyone, Muslim and non-Muslim alike, takes for granted that the prophet of Islam lived and led in seventh-century Arabia.
But this widely accepted story begins to crumble on close examination. In his blockbuster New York Times bestseller The Truth about Muhammad, historian and Islam expert Robert Spencer revealed the often shocking contents of Islamic teachings about Muhammad. Now, in this newly revised and expanded version of Did Muhammad Exist?, he lays bare those teachings’ surprisingly shaky historical foundations.
This revised and expanded version of this acclaimed book examines even more striking and compelling evidence that the story of Muhammad, who for so long was assumed to have lived in the “full light of history,” could be more myth and legend than historical fact.
Spencer meticulously examines historical records, archaeological findings, and pioneering new scholarship to reconstruct what we can know about Muhammad, the Qur’an, and the early days of Islam. The evidence he presents challenges the most fundamental assumptions about Islam’s origins.
Preorder here now.

CIRA International is a good organization.

A movie or documentary along the lines of this book, with audio tracks/captions in various languages will have significant impact in informing the sleeping masses. One way would be to sell shares in the movie, so money can be raised by issuing private equity. Of course, muzzies will try to do jihad attacks on movie theaters, so movie could be released on the internet.
For now, I am waiting for ebooks to be released. As Infidel said, Amazon Kindle should be avoided, but it is not easy because if you have large selection of Kindle books, they won’t work on other e-readers.. I have been buying kindle books for a very long time, way before Jeff Bezzs lost his mind.

I have a few Kindle e-books that I similarly bought years ago, but after Amazon started going wacko, I simply buy other books from Nook, and just use Kindle for the existing books. Works pretty well, even though B&N has a far more restricted selection than Amazon
I think the ebook compatibility issue is artificially inserted by Amazon: it’s a freaking PDF document, so why would it matter what reader is used?
