The Truth About Muhammad: What Islamic Texts Really Say | Robert Spencer |

Robert Spencer, author of 21 books including FBI training materials, presents an unflinching examination of Muhammad's life based on Islamic sources themselves. This detailed analysis covers the historical Muhammad's marriages, military campaigns, and teachings that continue to influence contemporary Islamic practices worldwide.

Spencer challenges mainstream narratives about Islam as a "religion of peace" by citing specific Quranic verses and Hadith traditions. He discusses the implications for modern societies, particularly regarding women's rights, religious minorities, and the targeting of non-Muslim communities.

Key topics covered:
Muhammad's marriage to 6-year-old Aisha
The raid on Khaybar and treatment of Jewish tribes
Quranic commands for warfare against unbelievers
Contemporary applications in Taliban, ISIS practices
Academic suppression of critical Islamic scholarship
Implications for India and Hindu-Sikh communities

This scholarly presentation draws exclusively from Islamic primary sources including the Quran, Hadith collections, and Sira literature to present facts often omitted from mainstream discourse.

In his book, 'The Truth About Muhammad: Founder of the World's Most Intolerant Religion', Spencer discusses the earliest Islamic sources about the life of Muhammad the prophet of Islam, and shows how the violence, intolerance, and oppression that has marked the Islamic culture are not violations of Islamic principles, but are rooted in the teachings and example of Islam’s founding figure.
