Did Muhammad Exist? An Inquiry into Islam's Obscure Origins by Robert Spencer

Book Reviewed: Did Muhammad Exist? An Inquiry into Islam's Obscure Origins by Robert Spencer

This is another great book by scholar Robert Spencer who is a fearless leader in pointing out the evil effects of Islamic terrorism and Islamic culture across the globe. I have been following his timely articles on his website JihadWatch.org and also read instant messages on his Twitter account; it is an honor to know that we have a fearless scholar amongst us who dares to say that Islamic terrorists are savages and substantiate his statements with facts. We need to read works such as this at times when various Islamic terrorist organizations like Hamas, Hezbollah, and ISIS are waging war against order and civilization. The Islamic culture is truly barbaric and the savage acts of ISIS in Iraq and Syria are becoming yesterday’s news and much of the Islamic world not only tolerates such evil acts but also help promote it. Recently a well know Islamic cleric by the name of Hussein bin Mahmoud invoked Qur’an 47:4: “When you meet the unbelievers, strike the necks…” and suggested that ISIS beheadings are sanctioned by Islam.

This book explores the life of Muhammad and his prophetic career. The historical records discussed in this book casts doubt on his existence. A careful investigation shows that the Qur’an is not Muhammad’s revelations, but actually borrowed from the Jewish and Christian scriptures. His order is nothing but a terrorist fraternity filled with intolerance to other faiths. The concept of forgiveness reflected throughout the gospels and New Testament is a sharp contract to the preaching of Muhammad. I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book and recommend this to anyone interested in the long term influence of global jihad.
