Ever since the very first Crusade and to this day, multiple distortions and twists to make a story fit the insidious hatred of the author is standard menu. Books of this nature run into tens of thousands.
It is rather sickening to read emotional regurgitation and this one distinctively emerges as the best of the worst. A few examples will suffice in comparative history, which makes this book utter rubbish.
Prophets of early years also waged war. Among them were kings who had absolute power. Prophets also had multiple wives. There is nothing new. If Robert Spencer is an Islam expert, then seven year school children are all Einstein's. When the 2nd Caliph of Islam entered Jerusalem, there was no blood spilt and freedom of religion proclaimed. When the Crusades entered Jerusalem, the city was knee deep in blood. European imperialism is mired as the most grotesque in comparative history. Read the history of the Americas - both North and South and Africa.
Perhaps Robert Spencer should read the accolades of famous people who commented on Prophet Muhammad.
Observations of some Western scholars about the high moral character of the Prophet before his marriages to Khadija (R.A.) are worth nothing: Sir William Muir, a very hostile critic admits: "All authorities agree in ascribing to the youth of Mahomet a modesty of deportment and purity of manners rare among the people of Mecca".
Emile Dermengham states that the Prophet "remained faithful to one wife much older than himself for a quarter of a century".
George Bernard Shaw said about him:
"He must be called the Saviour of Humanity. I believe that if a man like him were to assume the dictatorship of the modern world, he would succeed in solving its problems in a way that would bring it much needed peace and happiness."

it's great that people are studying, but its sad that people think they will study Islam by reading books by people with the most slanted veiws! If you are looking for ways to find negative with any people, culture, religion, you will find it. There are extreme views in any circle, but ISLAM is the ONLY religion where the faith is accountable by the actions of individuals, instead of being accountable for themselves. In America you have nuts doing all sorts of sick and crazy things but when are the ever defined by their religion? and then there are those who will say well Muslims kill in the NAME of ALLAH! but noone has given them authority, they are just people who are following the wrong example of the message that has been given! If you want to learn about the Prophet and what is actually taught in Islam, not this nonsense that is written by a man that obviously doesnt have the facts, but just assumes by talking about half a story, For example Marrying a 9 year old! if anyone of you read stories of the Prophet and his marriages, maybe then would it become more clear. America has hatred for things they are ignorant of. Instead of gathering real information, they base their knowledge on one side of the story. Americans really need to gain understanding, and this book is defininatly not the correct way to go about it because it is nothing but hatred. Also, for those who dont know any better, the Quran is against the killing of women and children, against such foolish ideas as running into a market and blowing yourself up...Yes these things are happening, but dont base your ideas of Islam because of how some, and a very small amount, of Muslims live and die. This is just fear and hate mongering, and if anyone knows Muslims then they would know how Muslims really act, humble and love for all of Gods creation no matter if Muslim, Jew Christian...as we were taught by the Pophet! all are brothers..but in America you are taught to hate muslims and programmed to hate anything that is different from you! its unfortunate, but i am so happy that these books exsist because if people are intelligent, they would look into the matter more, and eventually break through this garbage and come to the TRUTH about ISLAM and the Prophet Mohammed!

Mohammad's conduct during his rise to power was no more brutal than any number of other power-hungry monarchs of his day - but some of his present-day followers would present him to be the perfect example of conduct for the 21st century. Spencer presents documentation from respected Muslim sources that shows exactly how modern Muslim leaders can preach a message of hate and get away with it.
During Mohammad's career he consistently received convenient revelations from Allah that furthered his agendas. Sounds like the sort of behavior exhibited by Jim Jones, David Koresh, L. Ron Hubbard, and Joseph Smith. Were these messages from a god, self-delusions, or purposeful power plays? Whatever they were, when the negative aspects of their dogmas has been stressed, humanity has not been well-served.
This book is a synopsis of the behavior of Mohammad that would be considered sociopathic by today's standards - only touching briefly on his more gentle side. It is not particularly fun or easy to read. The cast of characters all have names that are difficult to spell and pronounce, and the book briefly covers events that could fill volumes. Spencer's commentary is quite helpful in making sense of his condensation of a vast amount of data.
Muslims who would base morality on a 7th century dictator need to get over it. Judaism and Christianity, except for an occasional abortion clinic bombing, have managed to figure out how to ignore excerpts from their holy books that aren't up to today's standards. Islam should do the same. As well-shown by Spencer, Islam's inability or refusal to do so shows that it deserves Spencer's title appendum, "the world's most intolerant religion."

This man has an axe to grind. Every book he has written concerning Islam is vitriolic and is hate-filled. His books are pure rubbish.

I read this book with the hope that the PC gloves would come off. I am personally will versed in the history of Islam. This book will anger the purists who want to deny some the truths about the early days of Islam. Liberal but uninformed Americans will realize his or her ignorance about the roots of modern-day Islamic fanatics and Jihadists. I pray that discourse will ensue and a clarity of mind will take over the rhetoric that seems to be passed off as fact. Bottom line, read this book with an open mind and you to will be set free of the malaise that many find themselves in regarding this topic.
