The Truth About Muhammad
by Robert Spencer

Meet the real Muhammad:


Muhammad's bizarre reaction to his first "revelation": "I will go to the top of the mountain and throw myself down that I may kill myself"

The heretical Christian who convinced Muhammad he was a prophet – and may have taught him his erroneous views of Christianity

Islamic borrowings from Judaism, Christianity, and Zoroastrianism – and Muhammad's enraged replies to charges that he borrowed material rather than received actual divine revelations

The "revelation" that allowed Muhammad to marry his beautiful daughter-in-law

The strange incident in Muhammad's life that makes it virtually impossible to prove rape in Islamic countries today

The real "Satanic Verses" incident (not the Salman Rushdie version): how Muhammad's attempt to win over his opponents ended with his saying he had been inspired not by God, but by Satan

How the Qur'an's teaching on warfare against unbelievers developed – with constant war to establish the hegemony of Islamic law as the last stage

The first year of the Muslim calendar: not when Muhammad was born or became a prophet, but when he became a warlord

How Muhammad used the graphic lure of Islamic Paradise to urge his warriors to fight furiously to extend his rule

"Kill every Jew who comes into your power": why Muhammad became so angry with both Jews and Christians – with disastrous consequences that are still playing out in the world today

The momentous command by Muhammad that led to good being identified with anything that benefited the Muslims, and evil with anything that harmed them --without reference to any larger moral standard

Muhammad's child bride – and the terrible consequences his marriage to a nine-year-old still has in the Islamic world

"This is the caravan of the Quraysh possessing wealth. It is likely that Allah may give it to you as booty": how Muhammad gave divine sanction to the Muslims' bloody raids

"War is deceit": the permission Muhammad gave his followers to lie in order to gain an advantage over their enemies

How Muhammad broke the principal treaty he entered into, again setting a pattern for Muslim states thereafter

Muhammad's commands to his followers to wage perpetual war against non-Muslims, including Jews and Christians

Muhammad on women's rights: women "are prisoners with you having no control of their persons"

"If justice is not to be found with me then where will you find it?" Why Muhammad still stands for Muslims as the supreme model for human behavior

"I will expel the Jews and Christians from the Arabian Peninsula, and will not leave any but Muslims" – and other statements by Muhammad that contemporary jihadists take very seriously

Islamic tolerance? The onerous tax burden and other discriminatory regulations mandated for non-Muslims under Islamic law

How Muhammad ordered the killing of apostates from Islam

The massacre of a Jewish tribe by Muhammad that was invoked by modern-day jihadists at the beginning of Israel's July 2006 operations against Hizballah in Lebanon

"Embrace Islam, and your lives and property will be safe": Muhammad's threatening letters to the rulers of the lands around Arabia

Muhammad's frequent avowals that the Muslims would overcome the empires bordering on Arabia and one day stand as masters of the world

"I have been made victorious with terror" – and other statements of Muhammad on his deathbed

Six steps that American leaders can and must take in order to protect our nation from Islamic jihad terrorism

Answer 2

Western countries are not better to live in than Muslim countries.
Muslim countries have less crime and families respect each other much more than the Western countries.

Answer 3

Wow. I applaud your bravery, especially at a time when Islam is getting a lot of bad publicity.
Usually, people tend to run toward their faith when they think its being attacked, Just look at the Christian Right in the US and how it gained prominence after 9/11.
Not an answer I'm afraid, just a Kudos. I never lived in a Muslim country so I can't really know.

Answer 4

First of all, from what aspect are you referring to?

I'm Malaysian and in Malaysia, non Muslims and Muslims live harmoniously. We love the cultural and religious varieties that exist in our country. In fact, during holidays and festivals Muslims and non Muslims visit each other and bring gifts. e.g. Hindus visit Muslims during Eid, Muslims visit Christians on Christmas and Hindus on Deepavali.

I am currently studying in a Western country and of course it's very different than back home. I get homesick but I always tell myself that I am very fortunate to travel and experience life abroad as it broadens my mind. I am grateful for everything :)

Answer 5

Adequate food, medical care, plus freedom of religion and freedom from religion. Women especially are treated much better in western countries than muslim countries where they appear to be treated to the outside world as little better than dogs

Answer 6

you know, you can find a lot of people that bash the white man, but when you look at society as a whole---where would you rather live?

in a modern city or town with running water in the houses, indoor plumbing, electricity, modern medicine and the freedom to do whatever you like, even worship whoever you like as long as you don't infringe on someone else's rights.

or in a godforsaken s h i t h o l e like any middle eastern muslim country. no running water, no electricity, no modern medicine, no indoor plumbing, no freedom. the local government is a throwback to 15th century feudal arab societies and God help you if you're not worshipping the 'right' god, the moon-god, Allah.

damn---hardly a difficult choice there, is it?

Answer 7

No i dont think that West is anyway better than the east (expect for freedom for immoral conduct). West is made by money and blood of east. Do not insult east or muslims. Read history and crusades.

Answer 8

well if west is really good to live then why are there 37 million people living below the Poverty line in USA alone.?. why are westerners flocking my Budhhist country in large numbers for job oppurtunities and peaceful lives?. oh dont tell me they dont. just try getting the statistics of people migrating here in East -- that will really help you. and yes it is a request from East that if people cannot be tolerant and treat everyone with respect, then please dont come to our lands. here we are all treated as equals.

Answer 9

Have you ever been to a Muslim country?

Answer 10

Yes, I am an ex-muslim too. I saw thru all the lies and moved away from Saudi Arabia, then converted to Christianity. I hope they don't find me. I don't want to be another news story of someone who was killed for seeing the truth!
