"The courageous Robert Spencer busts myths and tells truths about jihadists that no one else will tell."MICHELLE MALKIN While many choose to simply blame the West for provoking terrorists, Robert Spencers new book The Politically Incorrect Guide to Islam (and the Crusades) reveals why it is time to ignore political correctness and identify the enemy - if we hope to ever defeat them. In a fast-paced, politically incorrect tour of Islamic teachings and Crusades history, Spencer reveals the roots of Islamic violence and hatred. Spencer refutes the myths popularized by left-wing academics and Islamic apologists who justify their political agendas with contrived historical facts. Exposing myth after myth, The Politically Incorrect Guide to Islam (and the Crusades) tackles Islams institutionalized mistreatment of non-Muslims, the stifling effect Islam has on science and free inquiry, the ghastly lure of Islams X-rated Paradise for suicide bombers and jihad terrorists, the brutal Islamic conquests of the Christian lands of the Middle East and North Africa, and more.

Without the Byzantine Empire, there never would have been Western civilization.Western civilization is generally regarded as the child of Athens, Jerusalem, and Rome. That is, in the West, our philosophical and political thought is derived from that of the ancient Greeks; our Christian religion comes from the Jewish religion, and both of these came to us via the Roman Empire and the civilization and culture it created.Western society has other forefathers as well: we would be unwise to give the Byzantine Empire short shrift. The ways in which it has influenced our world for the good, and indeed, created the parameters of our society at its healthiest and strongest, are insufficiently appreciated today. In its confusion, uncertainty, and lack of direction, the West has lost its way. There is a great deal it can, and should, learn from Byzantium.If the United States were to last as long as the Roman Empire, including its Byzantine period, it would have to continue as an independent country, with political and cultural continuity, until the year 2899. To maintain a unified nation state for over eleven hundred years is a remarkable achievement by any standard, and the Romans accomplished it while facing existential threats and efforts to extinguish their polity during virtually every period of their existence. Now, nearly six hundred years after the demise of the empire, its influence still resonates in a number of fields, albeit almost entirely unnoticed and unappreciated.There is no arguing with success. Its time we took notice.

Christianity or Islam: which is the real "religion of peace"? Almost any liberal pundit will tell you that theres a religion bent on destroying our Constitution, stripping us of our liberties, and imposing religious rule on the U.S. And that religion is . . .Christianity! About Islam, however, the Left is silent--except to claim a moral equivalence between the two: if Islam has terrorists today, thats nothing compared to the Crusades, inquisitions, and religious wars in Christianitys past. But is this true? Are conservative Christians really more of a threat to free societies than Islamic jihadists? Is the Bible really "just as violent" as the Quran? Is Christianitys history really as bloodstained as Islams? In Religion of Peace? Why Christianity Is and Islam Isnt, New York Times bestselling author Robert Spencer not only refutes such charges, but also explains why Americans and Europeans must regain an appreciation of our Christian heritage if we ever hope to defeat Islamic supremacism.

A unique resource for understanding the Islamic Holy Book.As Islamic terrorism becomes a distressingly common feature of life in North America and Europe, it has become increasingly important for non-Muslims to be aware of the ideology that animates and motivates jihad violence and Sharia oppression of women and othersan ideology thats rooted in Islams holy book, the Quran.English-speaking people, however, have found attempts to understand the Quran and Islam impeded by unclear, densely worded translations and explanatory notes written by Islamic apologists attempting to conceal, rather than reveal, how Islamic jihadis use the texts and teachings of the Quran to justify violence and supremacism, and to make recruits of peaceful Muslims.The Critical Quran, in contrast, makes clear the passages that are used to incite violence. Historian and Islamic scholar Robert Spencer elucidates the Quranic text with extensive references to the principal tafsir, or commentaries, that mainstream Muslims use today to understand the Quran, showing how interpretations that sanction violence are unfortunately not outliers, but central in Islamic theology.The Critical Quran is the Islamic counterpart to numerous critical and skeptical editions of the Bible that have appeared over the last century and more. It is the one edition of Islams book that doesnt shy away from elucidating why the holy book of Islam is so frequently quoted and referred to with reverence by people who commit and/or justify acts of violence. It is a basic resource for everyone who wishes to understand the persistent phenomenon of Islamic terrorism, and the peculiar provenance of this most provocative book.

Muhammad: What can we really know about him?We know a great deal about Muhammador so it seems. Islamic tradition contains an astonishing wealth of information about the founding figure of the Islamic faith, and most historians take for granted that this material is generally reliable.In his latest book, historian and Islamic scholar Robert Spencer shows that there is no agreement in the earliest Islamic sources about the most fundamental details of this towering figures life. There are conflicting accounts of key details of his life, including the circumstances and contents of the first revelation he claimed to have received from Allah; the year of his birth; the length of his prophetic career; the name of the angel who supposedly appeared to him; and even his own name.Muhammad: A Critical Biography takes a detailed look at the Islamic traditions regarding Muhammad and lays bare their contradictions, inconsistences, and incoherence. Spencer continues the groundbreaking research he began in The Truth About Muhammad and Did Muhammad Exist?, exposing the shocking reality of how shaky Islams foundations really are. He meticulously explains why competing traditions may have been invented and definitively demonstrates that, contrary to the complacency of establishment historians, the Muhammad of Islam is more legend than history, more fable than fact.Muhammad: A Critical Biography does the work that mainstream academicswho are either bought by Saudi Arabia or Qatar, or too afraid to depart from the herdshould have done long ago. Not for the faint-hearted, this book will do nothing less than rock the Islamic world to its very core.

"JUST STAY QUIET AND YOULL BE OKAY."Thats what Mohamed Atta told the doomed airline passengers on 9/11. And we still hear the exact same message today from the powerful but shadowy lobby that is working behind the scenes to gut the First Amendment and prohibit "hate speech"or any criticismof Islam. As bestselling author Robert Spencer shows in his startling new book, The Complete Infidels Guide to Free Speech (and Its Enemies), aggressive Muslims and their appeasers have mounted a dangerous and disturbingly successful campaign against our constitutional rights. Spencer reveals: How social media behemoths Facebook and Twitternot to mention student groups at American college campusesare doing the bidding of anti-First Amendment Muslim activists Why core Islamic teachings make criticism of Islam punishable by death How American representatives at the United Nations have already agreed to limit freedom of speech How Curt Schilling and other outspoken conservatives have lost their jobs for criticizing Islam Why Twitter and Facebook now regularly censor speech critical of Islamwhile allowing death threats against its critics How blasphemy laws in Muslim countries are used as a pretext for arresting, even lynching Christians How European "hate speech" laws are used to prosecute and harass critics of Islam Why appeasement of Islam is endangering our First Amendment freedoms and could lead to your prosecution for "hate speech" If you value your First Amendment rights, you owe it to yourself to read The Complete Infidels Guide to Free Speech (and Its Enemies). It will give you the information and tools you need to fight backbecause Islam and its progressive fellow travelers have only begun their campaign to define what you can read, say, and think.

Why the ancient evil of antisemitism has returnedand how to counter it.Had we listened to Robert Spencer and taken heed twenty years ago or even ten years ago, the impact of the Islamists driven antisemitism would not have caught us by surprise. We would have had in place an institutional effort to counter it.Here is another opportunity to pay attention to his important work. Read this book! Ayaan Hirsi AliThe Hamas attack upon Israel on October 7, 2023, was one of the most inhuman jihad attacks ever. The attackers gloried in their savagery and vied to outdo one another in cruelty. Yet despiteor perhaps because ofits brutality, that attack unleashed expressions of hatred for Jews that shocked those who assumed such hate was a thing of the past.Global public opinion turned sharply against Israel. One campus protester carried a sign calling for a Final Solution. Another published a video saying, Be gladbe gratefulthat Im not just going out and murdering Zionists. Synagogues all over the US received bomb threats. Jews in Europe and the US were attacked.October 7 also led to a large-scale reappearance of claims about the Jews secret power and malevolence. Claims that Jews are enemies of all that is good have become mainstream as they have not been since Hitler put a bullet in his brain.The record needs to be set straight for anyone who is willing to see the truth. Historian Robert Spencer does just that. He reveals the sources of todays Jew-hatred in pre-Christian paganism, Christianity, Islam, and national and international socialism, and rebuts the most common claims against Jews.The resurgence of antisemitism should worry everyone, Jewish and non-Jewish, who is concerned about the recurrence of one of the darkest chapters in human history. The world today is on the brink of returning to such barbarism. Antisemitism: History and Myth is an attempt to keep that from happening.

The Shocking Truth About the Islamic View of Non-Muslim WomenHoly Hell reveals how Islam sanctions the rape and sex slavery of infidel women, and how non-Muslim officials prefer to deny that fact rather than confront it.The extent of the grooming gang scandal in Britain is horrifying beyond measure. As many as a million British girls were raped, and many were forced into prostitution, while British officials turned a blind eye to what was happening.The officials were terrified at the prospect of being accused of racism or Islamophobia if they went after the perpetrators, for the men who committed these crimes were overwhelmingly Muslim. The cover-up continues to this day, for much the same reason. Even those who have dared to speak honestly about the grooming gangs generally stop at noting that they were mostly Pakistani, not that they were Muslim.Yet these English girls were not victimized because the gangs were Pakistani. The gangs were Muslim, and did all this because Islamic law allows Muslim men to victimize non-Muslim women in this way. Nor did it happen in Britain only; this phenomenon has played out in other countries that have experienced a recent massive influx of Muslim migrants.In this eye-opening book, Islamic scholar Robert Spencer tells the truths that Western officials dont dare acknowledge: that the behavior of the grooming gangs is sanctioned in Islam, and until the West faces that, the brutalization of women will continue. Holy Hell: Islams Abuse of Women and the Infidels Who Enable It is a much-needed antidote to the wishful thinking and denial that dominate discussions of this topic in the Western media.

Every new American President has a plan to bring about peace between the Israelis and the Palestinians, and every one fails.Every "peace process" has failed in its primary objective: to establish a stable and lasting accord between the two parties, such that they can live together side-by-side in friendship rather than enmity.But why? And what can be done instead?While this failure is a consistent pattern stretching back decades, there is virtually no public discussion or even basic understanding of the primary reason for this failure.The Palestinian Delusion is unique in situating the Israeli/Palestinian conflict within the context of the global jihad that has found renewed impetus in the latter portion of the twentieth century and the beginning of the twenty-first. Briskly recounting the tumultuous history of the "peace process," Robert Spencer demonstrates that the determination of diplomats, policymakers, and negotiators to ignore this aspect of the conflict has led the Israelis, the Palestinians, and the world down numerous blind alleys. This has often only exacerbated, rather than healed, this conflict.The Palestinian Delusion offers a general overview of the Zionist settlement of Palestine, the establishment of the State of Israel, and the Arab Muslim reaction to these events. It explores the dramatic and little-known history of the various peace effortsshowing how and why they invariably broke down or failed to be implemented fully. The Palestinian Delusion also provides shocking evidence from the Palestinian media, as well as statements from the Palestinian leadership, showing that negotiations between Israel and the Palestinians will never work.But there is still cause for hope. Spencer delineates a realistic, viable alternative to the endless and futile "peace process," that shows how the Jewish State and the Palestinian Arabs can truly coexist in peacewithout illusions or unrealistic expectations.

It is taken for granted, even among many Washington policymakers, that Islam is a fundamentally peaceful religion and that Islamic jihad terrorism is something relatively new, a product of the economic and political ferment of the twentieth century. But in The History of Jihad: From Muhammad to ISIS, Islamic scholar Robert Spencer proves definitively that Islamic terror is as old as Islam itself, as old as Muhammad, the prophet of Islam, who said "I have been made victorious through terror."Spencer briskly traces the 1,400-year war of Islamic jihadis against the rest of the world, detailing the jihad against Europe, including the 700-year struggle to conquer Constantinople; the jihad in Spain, where non-Muslims fought for another 700 years to get the jihadi invaders out of the country; and the jihad against India, where Muslim warriors and conquerors wrought unparalleled and unfathomable devastation in the name of their religion.Told in great part in the words of contemporary chroniclers themselves, both Muslim and non-Muslim, The History of Jihad shows that jihad warfare has been a constant of Islam from its very beginnings, and present-day jihad terrorism proceeds along exactly the same ideological and theological foundations as did the great Islamic warrior states and jihad commanders of the past.The History of Jihad: From Muhammad to ISIS is the first one-volume history of jihad in the English language, and the first book to tell the whole truth about Islams bloody history in an age when Islamic jihadis are more assertive in Western countries than they have been for centuries. This book is indispensable to understanding the geopolitical situation of the twenty-first century, and ultimately to formulating strategies to reform Islam and defeat radical terror.

Most historians of the American presidencywalking in lockstep with todays hard-Left academic establishmentfavor presidents who were big-government statists and globalists. They dislike presidents who lowered taxes, protected American workers, and avoided getting the United States entangled in foreign conflicts that had nothing to do with protecting the American people. It is through that prism that they see all of American history.Its time for a change. Nowadays, with socialism massively discredited and internationalism facing more opposition than it has since before World War II, its time to reevaluate what the Leftist historians have told us. Donald Trump was elected president pledging to put America First, as any nations leader should put his or her own people first. There needs to be an America-First reevaluation of him and his predecessors.This book, therefore, rates the presidents not on the basis of criteria developed by socialist internationalist historians, but on their fidelity to the United States Constitution and to the powers, and limits to those powers, of the president as delineated by the Founding Fathers. Americas presidents are rated on the extent to which they put America Firstnot in the sense of a narrow isolationism, but whether they really advanced the interests of the American people.This upends the conventional wisdom about a great deal of American history and present-day reality, and is intended to do so. This book offers what should be the only criteria for rating the occupants of the White House: were they good for America?

Is there any sound historical evidence that the prophet of Islam actually existed, or is the entire story of Muhammad fable or fiction?It is a question that few have thoughtor daredto ask. Virtually everyone, Muslim and non-Muslim alike, takes for granted that the prophet of Islam lived as a prophet, as well as a political and military leader, 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 updated and enlarged 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 and archaeological findings, pioneering new scholarship to reconstruct what we can know about Muhammad, the Quran, and the early days of Islam. The evidence he presents challenges the most fundamental assumptions about Islams origins.
