Amazon.com - The History of Jihad: From Muhammad to ISIS
From a customer review:
"The History of Jihad From Muhammad to ISIS" by Robert Spencer (Aug. 2018).
Spencer demonstrates clearly and convincingly that today's Islamist, militant-jihad attacks throughout the world derive their suicide-bombing advocacy based not on the jihadists' aberrant reading of Islamic texts, but are indeed well-founded on the clear teachings and practices of Islam's patron saint: The Prophet Muhammad -- Islam's "The Perfect Man" [al-Insam al-Kamil].
Spencer's new book provides an expansive, detailed look at the 1,400-year-long history of Islam's jihad [militant struggle] war against the entire non-Muslim world -- which didn't stop upon his death [c. 632 AD]. As Spencer expertly shows, Muhammad's followers used his jihad teachings to continue their warfare-based conquests against not just their local Arabian neighbors, but in their ever-expanding, Scimitar-sword slicing, proselytizing military campaigns throughout the Middle East, Northern Africa, northward into the Iberian Peninsula and France, and later eastward and eventually subjugating Persia and India. Spencer espouses that this Islamic-bred terrorism continues unabated today.
A brief look at some of the sub-titles to the various chapters highlight Muhammad's anti-Jew proclivities:
"Killing Muhammad's Enemies"
"Muhammad Against the Jews"
"Divine Terror Against the Jews"
"Massacring the Jews"
Least one think that Muhammad's territorial conquests were just against the Arabian Jews, other sub-titles reveal the true worldwide terrorism of the enslaving Mohammedians:
"Prophecy of Conquest" (by Muslims)
"Jihad Against the Christians"
"Calling the World to Islam"
Many of Spencer's earlier books analyzed the Quran and the ahadith to better understand the theological dreams of Muhammad, and how they led to his development of a united religious-political, polis-state: the 'Daesh' or 'Dawla' for the Muslim-domineering community: so beloved by ISIl/ISIS during the 2010s decade.
Spencer reveals that few Westerners are aware that the on-going India/Pakistan-Kashmir dispute evolved from the Muslim conquest of India, and Islam's superior-attitude theology prevented Muslims from embracing a "Greater India" -- a supremist thought that led many Muslims to demand that the "Islamic Republic of Pakistan" be separated from India in 1947.
Besides being merely a historical review of past battles, military campaigns and conquests by marauding Muslim soldiers, Spencer's latest book reviews today's current jihadist, militant attacks throughout Europe, Asia, Latin and North America. No need the recount all of the recent terrorist attacks, as they are well represented in Chapter Nine: "Resurgence."
Sadly, Spencer notes in his concluding chapter "The West Loses the Will to Live" how many of the "politically correct" liberal politicians have chosen to ignore the burgeoning Islamic threat, as sustained by the recent waves of Muslim immigrants seeking the welfare-largesse in European countries - "refugees" who espouse their Islamic supremacy of seeking to impose their restrictive Islamic beliefs rather than assimilating into the more progressive and permissive Western civilization.
A thought-provoking book, a very vital book in revealing that the current Islamic-jihad threat is based on firm, Muhammadian theological principles.
