I had a great chat with my PJ Media colleague Lincoln Brown yesterday. Lincoln writes:
Paula is taking some much-deserved time off, so on this edition of “The Intersection of Faith and Politics,” I sat down with PJ Media’s Robert Spencer to discuss his latest book, Muhammad: A Critical Biography….
With the October 7 attacks and the chaos that has followed them, the threat of a nuclear Iran looming on the horizon, the war between Hamas and Israel, and an arrest warrant for Bibi Netanyahu, Islam remains at the forefront of the news. Central to Islam is the Prophet Muhammad. In his latest outing, Robert attempts the Herculean task of separating the man from the myth, which, as you will find out, is not easy. Did a man create a religion, or did a religion create a man? The answer lies somewhere in between. Unraveling the mountains of information in the hadiths and other stories provides insight into the world’s fastest-growing religion. Looking at the story of the Prophet Muhammad and the nascent years of Islam yields valuable information about the state of world affairs today. Muhammad: A Critical Biography should be required reading for college students and anyone who wants deeper context regarding current events. Robert’s book gives the reader “the story behind the story” of Muhammad and the religion of Islam.
Order Muhammad: A Critical Biography here.

I’ve been listening to Robert Spencer for years, and I greatly respect his scholarship on the subject of Islam. I also have been a fan of David Woods. This podcast is so informative and gave me the perspective that Islam and the prophet Muhammad are completely false . You basically have an Arabic warrior class that was plundering other tribes and states. They created the Islamic religion and the myth of Muhammad to unify their warriors and motivate them. So all the murder and mayhem over the centuries by Muslims, is based on lies. The Palestinian protests we see today are based on lies as well.
