Glenn Beck recently interviewed me. “You can hear that whole interview. It’s fascinating, and I highly recommend it. In fact, I don’t even know if you can do this, but I’d burn it to DVD. I highly recommend that you listen to this guy, and make your own mind up. But do your own homework. […]

Dennis Prager, nationally syndicated radio show host, author of nine books, most recently the number one non-fiction bestseller, The Rational Bible, and the founder of the website Prager University, read my new book The History of Jihad From Muhammad to ISIS, and had this to say: Robert Spencer’s book on the history of jihad is disturbing […]

Bush after 9/11: “Islam is peace.” The historical record says otherwise.
I wrote my new book The History of Jihad From Muhammad to ISIS mostly chronologically, starting with Muhammad’s conquests in Arabia and moving forward.

Robert Spencer’s History of Jihad outselling Rumi…and the Qur’an!
This graphic comes from Amazon’s “Islam” category, where my new book The History of Jihad From Muhammad to ISIS today placed ahead of Rumi and the Qur’an itself in sales.

Obama said “Islam has a proud tradition of tolerance.” But does it really?
In his famous outreach speech to the Islamic world from Cairo on June 4, 2009, Barack Obama said: Islam has a proud tradition of tolerance. We see it in the history of Andalusia and Cordoba during the Inquisition. I saw it firsthand as a child in Indonesia, where devout Christians worshiped freely in an overwhelmingly […]
