I wrote it in 2016, but I could have written it yesterday. The Complete Infidel’s Guide to Iran details the Islamic Republic’s militaristic aims, its support for global terrorism, its oppression of its own people, and much, much more, including exactly why Barack Obama’s late and much-lamented nuclear deal was so disastrous.
Here is the publisher’s statement about the book from 2016. This sentence jumped out at me: “The Islamic Republic is already at war with America. If we refuse to recognize that fact, we are only falling prey to the mullahs’ campaign of duplicity.”
Our Most Dangerous Enemy
Think it’s ISIS? Think again.
Iran is the terrorist powerhouse of the world—made all the more dangerous by the disastrous “nuclear deal” that restricts Iran’s nuclear ambitions hardly at all.
The Iranian government is an open enemy of the United States—and of anyone who dissents from Shia Islam.
Iran confronts U.S. Navy ships in the Persian Gulf “on a near daily basis.”
It executes more of its citizens than any other nation.
It is a country torn by hypocrisy—lectured by mullahs, and with brutally enforced Islamic religious laws, but rife with alcoholism.
Once America’s ally, Iran now claims leadership of the global jihad, and the ayatollahs’ aim is nothing less than world conquest for Islam.
In his extraordinary new book, The Complete Infidel’s Guide to Iran, New York Times bestselling author Robert Spencer reveals:
How the Iranian “nuclear deal” is sheer capitulation to the mullahs, allowing Iran to inspect its own facilities and pursue nuclear weapons
Iran’s long-standing support for terrorists—including shocking evidence that Iran helped plan the 9/11 attacks
Why Iran wants nuclear weapons—clue: it’s not about deterrence
American diplomatic folly—why the Obama administration has grossly underestimated the Iranian threat
A new grand strategy: how Iran’s Shi’ite terrorism might be contained and its threat to the United States reduced
The Islamic Republic is already at war with America. If we refuse to recognize that fact, we are only falling prey to the mullahs’ campaign of duplicity.
The Complete Infidel’s Guide to Iran exposes the true nature of the threat, lays out what America must do to defeat it, and gives you all the information you need about America’s least understood yet potentially most lethal foe.
“The brilliant and courageous Robert Spencer rips to shreds the claim that the Iran nuclear deal will bring peace to the world, and shows the truly shocking extent to which Iran is a threat to the stability not just of the Middle East, but of the entire world — and has been for decades while all too many American leaders have dithered, temporized and appeased it. The Islamic Revolution (enabled by Jimmy Carter), the hostage crisis, the Green Movement — it’s all here, including little-known facts about Iran’s role in 9/11 and its sponsorship of terror around the globe. Here is the one book that will put to rest forever the idea that the Islamic Republic will ever be a peaceful member of the family of nations, and shows what’s at stake if our leaders continue to pretend otherwise.” (Lt. Gen. William G. “Jerry” Boykin, Deputy Undersecretary of Defense for Intelligence (2002-2007))
“Robert Spencer has succeeded where many fail, sweeping through Iran’s history with a sure touch and an eye for the essential. He has also understood the monumental significance of Iran’s material contribution to the September 11, 2001 plot. Despite sectarian enmity, Sunnis and Shia can get along just fine when it comes to killing Jews and Americans.” (Kenneth R. Timmerman, President, Foundation for Democracy in Iran)
“Robert Spencer is arguably the most knowledgeable, authoritative and prolific of American infidels with respect to sharia, jihad and their most dangerous state sponsor: the Islamic Republic of Iran. Naturally, his is the complete guide for what all of us — Muslim and non-Muslim alike — need to know about Iran.” (Frank Gaffney, Center for Security Policy)
“Simultaneously, Iran is the modern iteration of one of human history’s richest civilizations and a paranoid jihadist state bent on global conquest, the destruction of Israel, and ‘Death to America.’ It is our most immediate threat, yet one strangely remote from our understanding. In The Complete Infidel’s Guide to Iran, Robert Spencer punctures our common misconceptions and Washington’s dangerous delusions about Iran, bringing to bear his unique blend of fearlessness, erudition, and clear-eyed analysis. All Americans, and most especially the political class, would do well to read this highly accessible book and grasp the challenge that confronts us.” (Andrew C. McCarthy, bestselling author, National Review contributing editor, and former federal prosecutor)
“Iran is the gravest threat to world peace today, and in this essential new book, Robert Spencer explains why. From all the astonishing details of just how disastrous Obama’s nuke deal is to Iran’s continuing war footing toward the U.S. and Israel and the shocking beliefs that may lead the Iranians to decide to nuke Israel, it’s all here. The Complete Infidel’s Guide to Iran should be placed on the desk of every official in Washington — especially in the Oval Office.” (Steve Emerson, Investigative Project)
“This masterpiece illuminates the most lethal threats against America and civilization today. Iran aims at global and hegemonic control through its terror networks, which are widely dispersed over the planet. Robert Spencer’s vivid, lucid and comprehensive record of Iran’s genocidal apocalyptic nuclear program gives us an invaluable and perspicuous tool for understanding current crucial topics. Essential reading to prevent mass extermination.” (Bat Ye’or, author of Eurabia : the Euro-Arab Axis)
“Eye-opening. Sobering. Informative. Gripping. The Complete Infidel’s Guide to Iran is a comprehensive and unique look at the world’s foremost and most dangerous rogue state. It’s what every American needs to know about the world’s leading state sponsor of terrorism. Robert Spencer makes it all clear: Iran’s magnificent history and terrible present, the full horror of the Obama/Kerry nuclear deal, Iran’s global anti-U.S. and anti-Israel adventurism, its role in 9/11, and the warped theology that makes it so eager to destroy Israel. No one who cares about America’s future and the survival of the free world should miss this book.” (Pamela Geller, President, American Freedom Defense Initiative)
mortimer says
All diplomats and politicians should read The Complete Infidel’s Guide to Iran before they discuss Iran or make decisions about it.
James Lincoln says
Correct, mortimer.
They should also be required to pass a written exam on its contents.
I’m not kidding…
RonaldB says
I read Spencer’s guide to Iran when it came out, but it’s a bit hazy now so I’ll have to re-read it. I don’t remember the part about Iran’s participation in 9/11, so I’ll be eager to see whether their role is greater than the role of the Saudis, our current best friend in the region.
For the record, I’m opposed to interfering with the affairs of other countries. It may be that Soleimani killed hundreds or thousands of Iranians. I don’t care. It’s not our affair. I’m also hearing that Soleimani worked with US forces and US-sponsored forces in eliminating ISIS. It may be that US intelligence agencies have Soleimani cold for planning direct US deaths. In which case, we would be justified in taking him out. On the other hand, I flat-out don’t believe the US intelligence agencies, the same ones that promoted the phony dossier on Trump. The attack on the US embassy in Iraq is no justification at all; the militia broke in, threw around some papers and furniture, and left. No US deaths or injuries.
The Iraqi parliament voted to expel US troops from Iraq. What better opportunity for getting the hell out of Iraq?

Iran’s involvement in 9/1 wasn’t as great as that of the Saudis, but they were involved.
Walter Sieruk says
“The Islamic republic of Iran exists and operates as what every fundamentalist dreams of, an Islamic state ruled by sharia …” [1]
Therefore it should be made known that the actual origin of Sharia law is revealed in a Time –Life book with the title MESOPOTAMIA: THE MIGHTY KINGS copyright 1995. The point is this history book about the ancient pagan world of Mesopotamia informs the reader that “many Islamic laws resemble the Babylon and Assyrian forebears.” .page 150.
There is the above and other references imply that such pagan teachings were incorporated into the religion that Muhammad manufactured and then started.
Thus this further reveals that a lot of ancient paganism is part of the whole religion of Islam.
In other words, ancient paganism makes up much of Islam. Therefore Islam is a hoax.

………………
Things have not much changed–but when do they ever with Islam?
fred says
If you have been exposed to the books, lectures, and debates of Sam Harris, Pat Condell, Ayaan Hirsi Ali, Douglas Murray, Christopher Hitchens, and many other free-thinkers and find their analysis spot-on and compelling then you can’t help but acknowledge following ….
Most, if not all, of the Islamic-based conflict, chaos, violence, terrorism, coups, beheadings, kidnappings, rapes, misogyny, homophobia, public lashings and stonings, and every form of mid-evil barbarism and stupidly is NOT instigated by US imperialism, exploitation, or anything else geopolitical. The real cause? Look no further then the retrograde religious dogmatism that dominates and runs the software of the psyche of over a billion humans on this planet. Proclaiming any geopolitical reasons for these atrocities are transparent smokescreens that are meant to misdirect, obfuscate, confuse, and bamboozle the media and the hopelessly uninformed public. You would have to be willfully ignorant not to acknowledge that Islam is a virulent and destructive toxin to the family of nations and to universal human solidarity. It is an aggressive, evangelical force with its goal being a global theocratic caliphate state. The machinery behind and within most of the terrorism in the world originating from the stunted minds of men like Bin laden and Soleimani is without question egregious Islamic Jihadism. A seventh century mentality fused with 21st century technology and weaponry is never a good thing.
It is high time NOT to ‘respect’ but be brutally critical of bronze and dark age religious dogmas of ALL faiths. Yes, even 90% of the Old Testament is an egregiously inhuman horror-show. What do the masses actually believe based on the core doctrinal propositions of their favorite religion? Beliefs have consequences… and tightly held retrograde religious beliefs especially have dire consequences since a deep personal false ‘identification’ and self-worth is attached to them from a cradle-to-grave incessant indoctrination…. not to mention how an infantile, imaginary, martyred, wonderful afterlife (for men) awaits them! Just a deep, dangerous, massive pile of human insanity!

Fred: ” … Look no further then the retrograde religious dogmatism that dominates and runs the software of the psyche of over a billion humans on this planet.”
This is the only bit of your post with which I somewhat disagree. I do not believe that over a billion Muslims – the people who are counted in official censuses, or however the figure has been arrived at – actually believe in Islam.
Certainly, there are more than enough Islamic true believers to make our world a deadly dangerous place. But just in Iran alone are many people who are labeled Muslims but hate Islam.
My husband and I just encountered a cab driver who told us he was from Iran. When my husband asked him if he was Muslim he said “Yes, unfortunately… I’m Muslim, but I don’t believe in it.” [Which means to me that he isn’t Muslim at all. He just has Muslim heritage.] And then he went on to tell us how happy the Iranians were before the Ayatollah brought Sharia back. “We used to sing and dance and have music and art… People still sing and dance, but they have to do it in secret.”
Hence the uprisings we’ve seen.
And this: https://www.jpost.com/Middle-East/Iranian-protesters-refuse-to-walk-on-US-Israeli-flags-613944?fbclid=IwAR3pTm2tbCM1LM7R9q3cb2A0nGozbl2TKt2u0AWr-uE8Fsr2I3z4yK56n9A
There are over a billion people who are *designated* as Muslim. How many of those actually believe in the doctrine – how can we know?
fred says
I don’t prefer absolute statements so yes do acknowledge your point and would never contend that ‘every’ Muslim is a believer in Islam and Sharia Law…. but… there is no question, MOST are, or at least a very high percentage, which is very troubling. Surveys have been conducted in even ‘moderate’ Muslim countries like Turkey and a disturbingly high percentage (80-90%) agreed that death to apostates and gays is totally acceptable and preferable. Even when the Muslims in Great Britain were polled about that subject the results were similar. You are correct to say we have no accurate way of knowing how many are true devout believers… but even 1/10th (one hundred million) is extremely problematic for our world. But i would bet the number is much higher because the indoctrination is just so stifling, rigid, and overwhelming to virtually everyone that exists since birth in those cultures.
