Muhammad: a frank look at his influential (and violent) life and teachings

In The Truth about Muhammad, New York Times bestselling author and Islam expert Robert Spencer offers an honest and telling portrait of the founder of Islam-perhaps the first such portrait in half a century-unbounded by fear and political correctness, unflinching, and willing to face the hard facts about Muhammad's life that continue to affect our world today.

From Muhammad's first "revelation" from Allah (which filled him with terror that he was demonpossessed) to his deathbed (from which he called down curses upon Jews and Christians), it's all here-told with extensive documentation from the sources that Muslims themselves consider most reliable about Muhammad.

Spencer details Muhammad's development from a preacher of hellfire and damnation into a political and military leader who expanded his rule by force of arms, promising his warriors luridly physical delights in Paradise if they were killed in his cause. He explains how the Qur'an's teaching on warfare against unbelievers developed-with constant war to establish the hegemony of Islamic law as the last stage.

Spencer also gives the truth about Muhammad's convenient "revelations" justifying his own licentiousness; his joy in the brutal murders of his enemies; and above all, his clear marching orders to his followers to convert non-Muslims to Islam-or force them to live as inferiors under Islamic rule.

In The Truth about Muhammad, you'll learn

- The truth about Muhammad's multiple marriages (including one to a nine-year-old) - How Muhammad set legal standards that make it virtually impossible to prove rape in Islamic countries - How Muhammad's example justifies jihad and terrorism - The real "Satanic verses" incident (not the Salman Rushdie version) that remains a scandal to Muslims - How Muhammad's faulty knowledge of Judaism and Christianity has influenced Islamic theology--and colored Muslim relations with Jews and Christians to this day.

Recognizing the true nature of Islam, Spencer argues, is essential for judging the prospects for largescale Islamic reform, the effective prosecution of the War on Terror, the democracy project in Afghanistan and Iraq, and immigration and border control to protect the United States from terrorism.

All of which makes it crucial for every citizen (and policymaker) who loves freedom to read and ponder The Truth about Muhammad

The real story of the prophet and the world view he professed.

Finally a book that address all the issues of Islam from Mohammad's own history. Tried to submit an earlier review saying this should be required reading by all elected officials and government representatives but that review has gone missing I guess. Maybe this one will be posted, I don't know, but if anyone actually wants to know the truth of what we are facing, they need to read this book. For those wondering if I have read the Qu'ran, I have and that is why this book was so meaningful. It explained much of what I read and the circumstances under which it was written. And all of the information is based upon the writings and edicts of those who are practicing Islamist's.

His family was affected by being exiled by the Ottoman Turks in his Grandfather's day. I like the fact that, though he is critical of Islam, he is honest about it and uses only Islamic sources and biographies and hadiths which are approved by Islamic leaders. They are critical of him because they do not like or accept the conclusions he has logically come to relating to the ideology and political system (Sharia) and its potential effect on Western culture and clash with US laws.

Fantastic book...unless you want to "hide" the true Muhammad.

Reviewed in the United States on April 18, 2015

Verified Purchase

It's funny how people criticize this book as being hateful. I've read Martin Ling's biography on Muhammad, that one won the best biography on Muhammad's life in English in Islamabad. It has the same violent and controversial content. Why? Because both books are based on the same exact sources. Aisha is 6 when Muhammad marries her, he's way, way older, and the Battle of the Trench and the beheading of hundreds of Jews at Muhammad's command, all there, in both books. But because Robert Spencer is not Muslim and is trying to show how there is violence rooted in Muhammad's life the facts now become Islamophobic? And Martin Lings gets an award? If you try to attack the content of this book, you are attacking the holy books of Islam, because that's where Robert Spencer gets it all. Yes, he's not a Muslim. Yes, it's probably uncomfortable having to admit all the things Muhammad did and said in his life. In a time when it's dangerous to speak out about issues like these, I'd say Robert Spencer deserves a medal. Read this book. It might just open your mind, unless of course, you're close-minded and intolerant of free speech and the truth.

Clear, concise, and uses Islam's holiest sources and their highest held interpretations.

Mr. Spencer did a wonderful job using entirely Islamic (and confirmed) sources to relate to us Muhammad's murderous rise to power.
One can only hope that Muslims will repent and renounce such a violent, lustful man - not take him as an example.
As for non-muslims, the truth is laid bare before you in this book. Islam is not a victim, but the aggressor. And like Muhammad permitted his follower to lie in order to get close to one of his many opponents and kill him, so will you be lied to about Islam being a religion of peace.

Exposing the truth about mohammed and the koran hopefully will save us from the evil of islam and the islamists if enough people open their eyes. Unfortunately too many folks still suffer from the impression that islam is just a major world religion rather than a feeble attempt to create one by copying the sacred stories from the Talmud and Gospels and trying to create a book that justifies Mohammed's evil actions. This book exposes all the vile nastiness that is islam's founder.

I've always believe that if you are going to communicate with another culture or religious group you need to understand their point of view.
After living in a couple of Muslim countries, and trying to read the Quran, this book puts a lot of things into perspective. Everything in this book rings true, and explains a lot from my experiences with Muslims. This book is well worth reading. If you only know about Islam from listening to the news this book will be an eye opener...

This is a fascinating book that is not politically correct but very likely. It contains a frank discussion with respect to the life and times of Muhammad and how what is being done in his name around the world by his followers is a good reflection of what he did and how he lived. Jihad against all who do not convert to Islam. Take no prisoners. Complete disrespect for women who have no rights whatsoever in Muslim theology and so on. A religion based on following the example of Muhammad is not a peace loving one. The desire that Israel and the Jews be wiped off the map is based on the words and deeds of Muhammad as recorded by his followers as documented in this book. Those who have any desire to preserve western culture as we know it should become familiar with the contents of Mr. Spencer's book and be guided accordingly

I follow Mr. Robert Spencer on a daily basis. Mr. Spencer's book regarding Mohammed does not take a psychological approach however, reading between the lines it is clear the man was merely a war monger and desperate to gain power by any means necessary including inventing Angels. This book also confirms from classic Koranic verses Muhammed was indeed vertically challenged!

The real truth of Mohammed and Islam.

Reviewed in India on December 4, 2019

Verified Purchase

After reading this book you will clearly understand that Islam was created by Mohammed because of the hatred he had over Jews and Christians, he had some kind of psychological problems were he saw an Illusion of Angel Gaberial coming and giving revelations,its not Angel Gaberial but the verses were coming from his own mind and nothing else, he tooks tits and bits from other reigion and framed his own religion, he used a stratergy to attract men by saying virgins after death and for soldiers can have sex with any women they captured, they can have their wealth, who will not get attracted by this offer? He also showed the domination of men over women in many verses. This should be read by every Muslim and they need to know the truth, it's something hard to come to know the reality but the sooner they know its better.

Having read Mohammed`s biography and his Koran,I could not bring myself to read this book Having spent my life in the Middle East and exposed to daily Muslims I know that Muslims are as devout as any Catholic, in terms of respect for Allah/God. We must not compare our ways of living with those of historic Arab Bedouins.
Mohammed had to have great courage in challenging his peers, Arabs can be cruel its their nature but most hospitable too!

A brilliant book. Explains about mohammed from his early days starting out as a "prophet" and points out numerous inconsistencies throughout his lifetime. Really is worth reading for anyone who wants an understanding of how islam came to be and who the man was that invented this ideology.
