Before I read this book, I thought I had at least a fundamental understanding of Islam and what it really means within the world context. After reading this book, I realized that I knew a lot less about this topic than I thought I did. The truth about Islam is really frightening, and it’s much more terrible than we have been led to believe.
For some, that might sound offensive or overdramatic. To some I might even be overstating the dangers, but after reading this book, I don’t think so. Since this book is written by a top Islamic expert, Robert Spencer, I don’t think I’m overstating anything.
The first thing I learned is what Muslims have been screaming about the Crusades for hundreds of years are simply lies. History didn’t happen the way they claim. In spite of their claims that Muslims have more claim to places like Jerusalem, these claims simply don’t hold water. While Jerusalem is mentioned in the Bible over 800 times, it’s not mentioned once in the Koran. In fact, there’s no archeology to back up the Koran at all.
The Crusaders didn’t go to Jerusalem to wipe out Muslims and murder them. They went because the Christians in the Holy Land had been repeatedly brutalized and treated as second class citizens. Christians were repeatedly persecuted, and the Crusaders went to stop it.
One thing that isn’t talked about by mainstream press, or anyone else for that matter, is just how violent Islam is. Reading the Koran is only the beginning. In practice is where you see how Muslims have discriminated againsts all non Muslims. In fact, Muhammed is the one who started it all.
He conducted 80 military campaigns trying to spread Islam. When he went to Medina, one of the holy cities of Islam, and they refused to convert, he murdered everyone in the city. Just one example of just how violent Islam is.
Then there is the myth that non Muslims can negotiate with Muslims. The Founding Fathers of the United States found out early in the beginning of the 19th Century how absurd this was, and it’s explained in the book. Islam has had a violent history from the beginning, and anywhere that non Muslims have refused to convert when the demand was made, there has been violence.
There’s a whole lot more. If you’re looking for all of the reasons why Islam is violent, and why it would be a mistake to convert, you will certainly find them in this book. The truth about Islam is thoroughly documented with facts and evidence.
For those who are non Muslim, this book is guaranteed to make your skin crawl it’s so creepy. For those who are Muslim, I have to say I feel really sorry for you for being so brainwashed, especially for those who believe Islam is peaceful.
Regardless on your stance on the issue, this is a must read, and it will definitely clear up any misunderstandings you may have had on this topic before. Lots of recommended resources too so you may explore the issue further.
