From Muhammad's first "revelation" from Allah (which filled him with terror that he was demonpossessed) to his deathbed (from which he called down curses upon Jews and Christians), it's all here-told with extensive documentation from the sources that Muslims themselves consider most reliable about Muhammad.
Muhammad: a frank look at his influential (and violent) life and teachings In The Truth about Muhammad, New York Times bestselling author and Islam expert Robert Spencer offers an honest and telling portrait of the founder of Islam-perhaps the first such portrait in half a century-unbounded by fear and political correctness, unflinching, and willing to face the hard facts about Muhammad's life that continue to affect our world today. It is a very interesting read into Islam from an ex-Muslim’s point of view and the best guide to learning Islam.
Finally, it educates its readers on how to debate with a religious apologist and some common arguments and techniques employed by them. In the last part of the book, the author discusses the rise of Islamism in the western world and its dangers. It gives a detailed account of Muhammad’s wives and violence in his life. It discusses the critical and sensitive topic of the character of Allah (Muslim God) and Muhammad in light of the Quran, Hadith (collection of Muhammad’s quotes), and the biography of Muhammad. Moreover, it discusses the scientific flaws in the Quran and argues how it looks like a book written by a seventh century Arab warlord rather than the creator of the billions of galaxies. It also discusses the baggage that comes with religion, leaving our only lives here on planet earth devoid of pleasure and enjoyment. It discusses the importance of God in keeping the morality of the society and the mental well-being of the human species. The book also covers some arguments for God and some counterarguments against God’s existence. The first chapter covers the importance of critical sense over common sense and how we should always invoke critical thinking when it comes to looking at the world around us. The book starts with a little introduction of the author-how and why he became an ex-Muslim-and it is followed up with the importance of writing the book. It covers some common misconceptions about Islam that both Muslims and non-Muslims have.
This book is a critical analysis of religion in general and Islam in particular.
