The Ultimate Sourcebook For The Jihad Threat - Rated
Onward Muslim Soldiers was Robert Spencer's first major book on Islam and jihad, and so it's a tad strange that it's the last one I read, but it is without doubt one of his best. This book is absolutely packed with information and meticulous scholarship regarding the concept of jihad within Islam, traced back from the Qur'an, through Islamic history, to the modern day. As far as I am concerned there is no better source out there for this apart from the Islamic texts themselves.
This is Spencer's longest book and is crammed with details, many of which HAVEN'T subsequently been repeated in his more recent books. One of the things that most impressed me about it is that a clear and logical line is drawn throughout the book which directly, through a chain of Islamic tradition, connects the words of Muhammad and seventh-century Islamic jurists, through medieval scholars and theorists into the 20th century and right through to modern day jihadists. There is ample proof collected here that today's Islamic terrorists are not "hijacking" their religion, but acting on tenets which were established in the time of Muhammad and have been maintained ever since. The section which outlines the writings of jihad theorist Sayyid Qutb is particularly fascinating.
Overall, Spencer's work is not to be missed if anyone wants to learn the truth about Islam, rather than the carefully-cultivated falsehoods we are constantly fed by the mainstream media. It is heavy on the details, though, so I would suggest that beginners read "The Politically Incorrect Guide To Islam (And The Crusades)" first, which is a bit easier to swallow. Then, if you have any further questions about jihad, read this book and they will likely be answered. Then, if you still want to know more (although expect some redundant and repetitive passages) read "The Truth About Muhammad" and "Religion of Peace". Once you have read all four, you really will have a wealth of knowledge at your disposal to refute the arguments of pretty much anyone who tells you that Islam is a "religion of peace".
