The Founder of Islam—Warts and All Irrational violence erupts every day in the name of Islam. Yet politically correct world leaders and diplomats—as well as the mainstream media—refuse to examine what the Prophet of Islam actually taught. How does Muhammad's true character influence terrorists, and average Muslims, around the world? "It is difficult, if not impossible, to maintain that Islam is a religion of peace when warfare and booty were among the chief preoccupations of the Prophet of Islam," says New York Times bestselling author and Islam expert Robert Spencer of his new book, The Truth about Muhammad. Recognizing the true nature of Islam, Spencer argues, is essential for judging the prospects for large-scale 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. The Truth about Muhammad is crucial reading for every citizen (and policymaker) who loves freedom. As a way of introducing the book, we would like to e-mail you a complete chapter, Chapter 2: In search of the historic Muhammad. |
