Thank you,
This review is from: The Politically Incorrect Guide to Islam (And the Crusades) (Paperback)
To all that say Mr. R. Spencer doesn't know what he's talking about or that he's some sort of "pseudo-intellectual", you don't need to be a rocket scientist to see the truth of islam. Look for yourself and read the koran and the hadiths. Look at the global track record of those that follow this cult. Nothing but hate and violence."Koran 2:106 Nothing of our revelation (even a single verse) do we abrogate or cause be forgotten, but we bring (in place) one better or the like thereof. Knowest thou not that Allah is Able to do all things?" The above quote says it all. If we read the koran chronologically (from muhamMAD's time in Mecca to his "turn" in Medina), all peaceful messages about those that don't believe in islam have been replaced with messages of hate and terror. Anyone who fails to acknowledge this is either a liar, or someone who refuses to see the truth. The bottom line is that those that call themselves a muslim or who follow muhamMAD's way, follows a compass of immorality and evil. The koran damns itself, in over 500 ways... Mr. Spencer, thank you for opening my eyes. Thank you for getting me to investigate islam on my own terms, and prove myself wrong (I used to be a blind, liberal supporter). Thank you.

This review is from: The Politically Incorrect Guide to Islam (And the Crusades) (Paperback)
I thought I had a fair idea of the basic tenets of Islam but I had no historical basis other than what I had gleaned from historic novels and the like. I have been told that in my family's history there may have been a forced flight north to escape the Muslim intrusions into the the lands of my heritage. This was the first book I have ever read that makes sense of that possible history. It has made me grateful for the Crusaders who prevented the fall of much of Europe and has made me so much more aware of what it was we actually escaped.Thank you Robert Spencer for putting this book together. An easy read, not at all difficult to follow but obviously well researched. Yes, there is a bias but it is well deserved and expected. Any reader who has an uncomfortable feeling about Islam but can't quite explain why, will find in this book the knowledge he or she needs to defend their feeling. It will actually bring gratitude for our Jewish friends as well as bring you closer to all non-Muslim peoples everywhere. Congratulations Robert Spencer. In answer to the quote from [...] saying about Mr. Spencer "May Allah rip out his spine from his back and split his brains in two." I say, may God protect you from a hatred so fierce that a Muslim would actually put it in those kinds of words. A religion of "Peace and Tolerance?"

Another excellent work by Spencer,
By GeoffP "Geoff" (Los Angeles) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Politically Incorrect Guide to Islam (And the Crusades) (Paperback)
In an age when the hedgemony of presumed 'discourse' is so strong that no historical act can ever be evaluated on its own merits, Robert Spencer's book "The Politically Incorrect Guide to Islam" is an actual breath of fresh air.The stupendous ignorance of those reared on mea cupla without thought is brilliantly illustrated and concise: how, precisely, can it be believed that the Crusades were an offensive action, following on the heels of four hundred years of islamic aggression? Spencer illustrates handily why this view - entrenched in our educational system for decades, the course materials lacking only a thorny stick to flagellate the students with - is a malign and backwards nonsense. The parallels evidenced thereby to today are, thus, striking. Nor does he stop there. The mindset and political religionism - some in a more enlightened age might call it "fascism" - inherent to Middle East to this day repeat the original pattern over and over and over again. One ignores the book only at the peril of greater society and, ironically, the very (Western) civilization that permits the development of the unorthodox orthodoxy that refuses to permit debate in any direction deviating from the new societal norms: the West is always at fault, whether acting or sitting still, and non-Westerners always have the best interests of mankind at heart, no matter what they do, say or openly admit to. It is difficult to imagine that such a work could be ignored even by the most (to borrow a phrase) 'obstinate'; but then again, some have more skill at this than others. A staggeringly good read. GeoffP

Much Needed Book,
By Brian Sera (Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Politically Incorrect Guide to Islam (And the Crusades) (Paperback)
This book covers an extremely important topic for our time. It gives a very clear and accurate history of Islam from it's beginnings to the present. From Islam's own writings it shows why Islam has taken the path it has and also where that path will take it. I encourage everyone to read this book. You will see the obvious politically correct reviewers trying to influence you not to read the book (I am certain that most of them haven't even read the book themselves). Instead I encourage you to read the book yourselves and make up your own mind.

The P.I.G to Islam is one of the most informative books Ive read, people need to stop taking in info from only one media, TV, for example gives only one side of the story and is such a distorter of facts that it causes more harm than good. Thanks for such a Great book.

The Politically Incorrect Guide to Islam,
By Robert Ferguson (LA, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Politically Incorrect Guide to Islam (And the Crusades) (Paperback)
This book certainly changes our misconceptions regarding history and how things are connected. Although it is something that people are not used to hearing, it is necessary read, and has evidence to back up its claim. With the war on terror showing no signs of abating and as the terrorists strike all who are not in accord with their cause, this book not only provide an insight into the problem from a historical point of view, it also shows how easily Islam's distortion came about. This book changes many misconceptions. The idea of jihad is the centre of it all, something that ought to be criticized or rejected for the world to be at peace.As indicated in the UNION MOUJIK, the jihadists are the quasi-faithful. "they kill for the sake of reasoning, a reasoning that distorts faith..........they are even worst than the atheists who got lost in their noble intentions because they lacked faith.....Tomorrow you will find them slitting one another's throats. These quasi-faithful are the curse of our children's age." Overall, THE POLITICALY INCORRECT GUIDE TO ISLAM is a book to read.

Why oh Why don't Muslims read this?,
This review is from: The Politically Incorrect Guide to Islam (And the Crusades) (Paperback)
This is a book which would dissipate a lot of misunderstandings between Christians and Muslims, the latter of whom are often totally ignorant of their own history, as too many Christians are also, unfortunately. Spencer does not spare the bare and bold facts, and as he says, it is a politically incorrect book, that is,it dares to tell the truth, and does not pussyfoot around the facts. Congrats to him!

This book makes you think about the Middle East situation even more. It gives you a glimpse into the reason why religious fanatics are the way they are.

The Most Important Book You Will Ever Read!,
By bob munro "bob" (red deer alberta) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Politically Incorrect Guide to Islam (And the Crusades) (Paperback)
An absolute must-read for those interested in the so-called War On Terror, shows step-by-step, with historical accurracy, how Islam is not the Religion of Peace that President Bush claims.With an exploding Muslim population in Canada this book should be a wake-up call for an end to high immigration laws. |
