History Of Jihad

This is what our religious leaders should have done decades ago.Our timid politicians and democracies itself stops the true history of islam to come out.

I have to admit i had tears in my eyes thinking about all those people who suffered because of a religion that promotes violence and hatred towards others. I always used to think that the whole concept of Islamic terrorism was because of overly religious Muslims. I used to tell this myself every time a terrorist incident happen and I could never even in my wildest dream imagine the so called holy book of Koran could say anything violent because i always hear my friends saying its full of love and peace. It was only in 2020 I realized how grossly wrong i was about everything after some major incidents. To be precise let me name some incidents that happened. First was CAA-NRC protest and the Delhi riot that followed. In the beginning i thought it was purely a political issue, but soon I could see venom spewing against Hindus at every turn of the protest and when the riot happened in Delhi, there was a clear propaganda to somehow blame it on Hindus. I was amazed at the "consistency" in hatred these people felt towards Hindus. I was really surprised about how the same kind of hatred towards Hindus on the matter of CAA-NRC could be seen with Muslims in Kashmir and Muslims in Kerala, even with Palestinians and Turks who had nothing to do with CAA-NRC. Thats when it struck me that, there is definitely something wrong somewhere . Yet i only suspected preachers misguiding people but never doubted the Koran or real teachings of Islam. In July I started reading the report released by Opindia in Amazon about Delhi riot. There i could get a real insight of the dangers associated with this religion. And i didnt have to wait too long to get my eyes wide opened. A riot took place in Bangalore and a week later a riot took place in Malmö in Sweden. I for the first time saw people quoting verses from Koran that actually calls out for such violence in response to talking about prophet or islam which is exactly what happened in bangalore and Sweden. Later i saw an interview of Robert Spencer that he gave to Nupur Sharma where he gave a brief explanation about some of these dangerous problems. Now i am a regular watcher of David Wood and ApostateProphet on Youtube who two have done so much research and debates on this matter.As an Indian one thing i wish to say is that the whole lie that "The divide and rule" policy of Britishers is the prime cause of current Hindu-Muslim tensions is exposed clearly if you read this book which tells you the real face of Mughals than any history textbooks we study in India. There was no tension before Britishers because there was complete subjugation of Hindus. Post Independence Hindus werent subjugated anymore which is somehow being seen as cause of tensions . No wonder even Mahtama Ghandhi himself advised to not to act against Islamic oppression of non believers. It is absurd to blame Brits and their policy instead of pointing out real reasons.One thing I would have liked to see Robert mention in this book was about burning down of Nalanda university. Yes of course Robert have mentioned about atrocities of Bakhtiyar Khalji in India but he seems to have missed out this important detail. Which had a really lasting effect on India especially in the downfall of our culture, continuation of knowledge level and we are forced to build up that level of knowledge from scratch while rest of the world surged past us.A request for Robert/publishers is that to make either this or some of his other book available on Kindle unlimited or Prime reading as this would increase the reach and awareness among people. Especially in India we seems to be living in an oblivion about the truth and history.A sincere wish I have as an optimistic Indian who in spite of knowing all this is that, India can somehow exist in peace without anyone having to hate a Muslim. And for this to happen i hope Muslims can actually see the real cause of problem and have the secularist mind to reject all those violent ideas and ideology

A book which prophesies things to come the beginning of which has started by the pouring in of muslims into all countries of Europe. Must read for all leaders, both government and opposition of non-muslim countries of the world especially Europe. Just as a beautiful lady attracts the attention of all types, kinds of people good, bad and treacherous, prosperous, civilized , good countries attract all kinds of people a group of whom will destroy the country to which they have migrated. It is a wake up call to all nonmuslim countries. Why are the leaders of European and American countries sleeping or taking an ostrich like attitude. Europe seems to have forgotten the lessons from Spain.

Informative.

Robert Spencer tells us the real story of Islam without the political correctness common among modern-day authors of the West when writing about this subject. With the help of solid historical evidence, he depicts the horrific acts of Islamic invaders and how they spread their Arabian tribal ideology throughout the world through brute force. He also covers the Islamic invasions of India in quite detail and bring our attention to the barbaric acts of those invaders which have implications even now. He also chases Islamic empires to their very modern avatar of ISIS and tells us how the jihad which started from the age of Muhammad still continues, as well as modern governments' failures in realising and fighting this perennial threat to global civilization. A must-read for all thinking Indians.

In a way, this book is a "jihad" against the long line of Islamic Jihadis starting from Islam's founder himself. People (especially modern liberals) need to stop denying the violent history of jihad - a history that's perfectly in line with the Islamic law, and a history that's verifiably true. Many people will pretend this book is a product of a "far right" author or bring up some other similar and silly objection. Hate Robert Spencer all you want, but you still have to deal with the facts he puts forward.

This is probably the most authentic and well researched book on the subject of islamic jihad. Meticulously researched and written, it serves as an eye opener for those who are unaware of the dangers of the jihadist agenda. The author provides detailed histories and multiple accounts to reveal the homicidal and fanatical elements entrenched in Islam in scintillating detail. That is not to say that the book promotes the idea that all muslims are blameworthy- it just shows that violence and fanatic proselytization are to a large extent inherent characteristics of the faith.

The History of Jihad by Robert Spencer is a comprehensive and well-researched account of the significant events that have shaped the Muslim world. The book offers an in-depth exploration of the concept of jihad, which is often misrepresented or misunderstood in today’s volatile political climate. The author provides a detailed analysis of various jihadist movements throughout history and their impact on Muslim societies, as well as their role in shaping world history.One of the most significant features of the book is its objective perspective. Spencer presents a balanced view of the history of jihad, without favoritism towards any particular ideology. He traces the origins of jihadist movements from their earliest manifestations in pre-Islamic Arabia to their rise and spread throughout the world. The author also discusses the concept of “dhimmitude,” which is a key component of Islamic law and the treatment of non-Muslims living in Muslim societies.Apart from historical analysis, Spencer includes a detailed description of modern-day jihadist movements, such as Al-Qaeda and Islamic State. He draws parallels between the different jihadist movements and their common goals of spreading their version of Islam around the world. The author also discusses the response of Western governments to the threat of jihad, highlighting the deficiencies of policies that have failed to prevent the spread of radicalism.One of the most refreshing aspects of The History of Jihad is its use of primary sources. Spencer offers an extensive list of references that includes the Quran, Hadith, and historical manuscripts, making his research accessible and verifiable. The author’s writing style is also engaging and accessible, making it easy for readers to follow complex ideas and events.Overall, The History of Jihad is an invaluable resource for anyone seeking to understand the origins and impact of jihadist movements on the Muslim world and beyond. Spencer’s comprehensive analysis of the history and modern-day manifestations of jihadist movements provides a unique perspective on one of the most significant developments in world history. The book is highly recommended for anyone interested in studying the history of Islam, terrorism, and political extremism.

Een compleet overzicht van de Islam JIHAD (oorlog tegen niet-Moslims). Vanaf het begin 7de eeuw tot heden. Hierna begrijp je wat Islam aan het doen is in Europa, Canada, USA en elders...Wat Amazon aan het doen is begrijp ik niet: eerst werden de emails met tijdvak afgeschaft zodat we de hele middag en avond thuis moeten blijven, en nu komen de bezorgers ook al niet meer aan de deur; ik moet naar beneden komen, Derde verdieping en 67 jaar oud. En lopen wordt steeds moeilijker.

People who ignore history in the name of being PC, are doomed to end up victims to this crazy ideology. No religion preaches murder and subjugation. Read the book, inform yourself about this ideology, warn your local politicians to stand on guard, to represent and to serve you as they have sworn they will when they took office. Most of them live like ostriches, pretending everything is great (it is for them and their short term vision), being PC afraid to stand up for the people, believing a lie and propagating it. This book will educate the ones hiding from the facts and truth. Perhaps buy this book and mail it to your local politicians... maybe they will grow a spine and do their jobs.

Very detailed info on this subject, a lot to learn about the past what influences modern day.

If the history of our own age is written by someone other than a Muslim historian gloating over yet another Islamic conquest, it will be due in no small measure to the work of Robert Spencer and The History of Jihad: From Muhammad to ISIS. Spencer takes us from the roots of Islamic warfare in the teachings and example of Muhammad himself (not a man of peace by any stretch of the imagination) to the Muslim attempt over 1400 years to force people to accept his message of total obedience to a set of principles which to outsiders are clearly immoral.Unlike the mea culpa culture of the West today, this history of conquest, enslavement, lechery, and cruelty has never been disavowed by Muslims but is rather seen as a glorious past and, even more chilling, the model of future greatness.He also brings out the parallels between former ages and our own. There were misguided collaborators with the jihadists just as there are today. There were despicable traitors just as there are today. There were heroes just as there are today - and Robert Spencer is certainly one of those. He has carried the banner of freedom, learning, truth, and amazingly, cheerfulness ever since the attacks of 9/11: always informing, illuminating, showing us the theological roots that underlie barbarism in all its forms.By putting the whole sorry saga into one very readable volume, he makes it abundantly clear that Islam never was and never will be a religion of peace. Please, please, please western leaders, take note!
