About this audiobook

In The Truth about Muhammad, New York Times bestselling author and Islam expert Robert Spencer offers a 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.

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 teachings 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.

Ratings and reviews

Totally fake book! Author has gone mad, wrote all false stuffs by distorting the actual facts. This book shows the unstable, disgusting and cheap mindset of the author. Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) is the greatest person ever to walk on earth, the most exemplary person in all aspects! This book should be banned. Shame on the author, he should be arrested and sentenced to death for committing blasphemy.

People like this author will lie, take things out of context, mislead people, and spread falsehood just to get rich quickly. What's funny is the Qur'an is available for anyone to read. Just do yourself a favor and READ IT! Islam is an Abrahamic religion and is the final Testament to humanity. In order to be Muslim you must believe in Jesus the Messiah translated Christ son of the Virgin Mary (Mariam) as well as all the Prophets from Adam, Noah, Abraham, Ishmael, Issac, David, Soloman, and John.

It is very dangerous to read books where the author has a hidden agenda and does not take an unbiased approach to educating the readers about the truth. He spews his personal beliefs by labeling it as "history". As many people in here have stated do yourself a huge favor and actually pick up an english translated quran. read from the actual source that these Islamophobes pretend to site.
