Islam is a caustic blend of regurgitated paganism and twisted Bible
stories. Muhammad, its lone prophet, conceived his religion solely to
satiate his lust for power, sex, and money. He was a terrorist. And if you
think these conclusions are shocking, wait until you see the evidence.
The critics of this work will claim that Prophet of Doom is offensive,
racist, hatemongering, intolerant, and unnecessarily violent. I agree - but
I didn't write those parts. They came directly from Islam's scriptures. If
you don't like what Muhammad and Allah said, don't blame me. I'm just the
messenger.
Others will say that I cherry-picked the worst of Islam to render an
unfair verdict. They will charge that I took the Islamic scriptures out of
context to smear Muhammad and Allah. But none of that is true. Over the
course of these pages, I quote from almost every surah in the Qur'an - many
are presented in their entirety. But more than that, I put each verse in the
context of Muhammad's life, quoting vociferously from the Sunnah as recorded
by Bukhari, Muslim, Ishaq, and Tabari - Islam's earliest and more trusted
sources. I even arrange all of this material chronologically, from creation
to terror.
Predicting what he called the "Day of Doom" was Muhammad's most often
repeated prophecy. While it did not occur as he foretold in 1110 A.D., it
nonetheless came true. Muslims and infidels alike have been doomed by Islam.
To discover why, we shall dive into the oldest surviving written
evidence. These official works include: the Sira, Ta'rikh, Hadith, and
Qur'an. Ishaq's Sira, or biography, called Sirat Rasul Allah, provides the
lone account of Muhammad's life and the formation of Islam written within
200 years of the prophet's death. While the character, message, and deeds
portrayed within its pages are the antithesis of Yahshua's and his
disciples, the Sira's chronological presentation is similar in style to the
Christian Gospels. The Ta'rikh is the oldest, most trusted and comprehensive
history of Islam's formation and Muhammad's example, called Sunnah. It was
written by Tabari. His History of al-Tabari is formatted like the Bible. It
begins with Islamic creation and ends with the acts of Muhammad's
companions. Tabari is a compilation of Hadith quotes and Qur'an passages. As
such, it provides the best skeleton upon which to flesh out the character of
Muhammad and the nature of fundamental Islam. A Hadith is an oral report
from Muhammad or his companions. Muslims believe that Hadith were inspired
by Allah, making them scripture. The most revered Collection was compiled in
a topical arrangement by Bukhari. Allah's Book, the Qur'an, lacks context
and chronology, so to understand it, readers are dependent upon the Sira,
Ta'rikh, and Hadith.
All that can be known about Muhammad's deeds, means, motives, god, and
scripture is enshrined in these books. In their pages you will see them as
they saw themselves. My only point of departure from Ishaq and Tabari will
be the comprehensive review of the early Meccan surahs, a period in which
they had very little to say. Our paths will join again as we approach Islam's
midlife crisis: the Quraysh Bargain, Satanic Verses, Night's Journey, and
Pledge of Aqaba - a declaration of war against all mankind. At this point,
the Sunnah speaks more clearly than the Qur'an.
So that there will be no confusion, I have set the passages from Islam's
scripture in bold-faced type . When quoting from the Qur'an and Hadith, I
have elected to use a blended translation. No language transfers perfectly -
one word to another. Five of my twelve translations of the Qur'an were
combined to create the most accurate conveyance of the message possible.
However, the writing quality is so poor, the proofreaders of this manuscript
suggested that I help Allah and Muhammad out by cleaning up their grammar,
punctuation, and verbosity. So for clarity and readability, I have trimmed
their unruly word patterns and meaningless repetitions, being careful not to
alter the meaning or message of any passage. Insertions within parenthesis
(like this) were added by the Arabic translators to fill in missing words or
to clarify the text. Insertions within brackets [like this] represent my
observations.
I have elected to present Islam's original source material in
juxtaposition to my evaluation of its veracity. This format is similar to
that used by the first English translators of Mein Kampf as they attempted
to warn America about the dangers lurking in Hitler's manifesto. They, as I,
found it necessary to hold the author accountable. A great deal was at stake
then, as it is today. The last time the world was ignorant of such a hateful
and violent doctrine, 55 million people died. If we don't shed our ignorance
of Islam, many more will perish.
My quest to understand Islam began on the morning of September 11th
2001. I wanted to know why Muslim militants were killing us. So I went off
to Ground Zero for Islamic terror - Israel. The West Bank is home to more
suicide bombers per capita than anywhere else on earth. I arranged to meet
with the terrorists themselves. I asked members of al-Qaeda, Islamic Jihad,
al-Aqsa Martyrs' Brigade, and Hamas why they were killing us. They said,
"Islam. We are following Muhammad's orders." That adventure is recounted in
Tea With Terrorists . It covers a wide range of material and serves as a
companion volume, connecting fundamental Islam to terrorism. Prophet of Doom
focuses strictly on what the Islamic scriptures have to say.
So, could it be? Could a prophet and a religion be responsible for
today's terrorist attacks? I invested 10,000 hours in pursuit of that
answer. I wish everyone had. But knowing that not all are able, I have
distilled what I discovered into these pages.
Now for a word of caution: this journey of discovery is ordered
chronologically. It is not prioritized by relevance. Explaining the root
cause of Islamic terror is the biggest priority; yet it is not exposed until
the last half of the book. I want you to know Muhammad, Allah, and Islam
before you judge their legacy. So to keep you turning pages, I have
endeavored to make Islam's early years as entertaining as possible. While
Prophet of Doom is meticulously researched, documented, and accurate, it's
written as if you and I were old friends having a lively chat about the most
important and lethal issue of our day.
One last thought before you head down this perilous path. I pray that
when you have reached the journey's end, you will share my heart for the
plight of Muslims. I want nothing more than to free them from Islam, and in
so doing, free us from the terror their doctrine inspires.

The documented references in Prophet of Doom were derived from English
translations of the following ancient Islamic manuscripts. I encourage you
to purchase and read them. The Sirat Rasul Allah was written by Ibn Ishaq in
750 A.D. It was edited and abridged by Ibn Hisham in 830 and translated by
Alfred Guillaume under the title, The Life of Muhammad in 1955 by Oxford
Press. The History of al-Tabari was written by Abu Muhammad bin al-Tabari
between 870 and 920 A.D. His monumental work was translated and published in
1987 through 1997 by the State University of New York Press. I quote from
volumes I, II, VI, VII, VIII, and IX. Al-Bukhari's Hadith, titled: Sahih
Al-Bukhari and The True Traditions was collected by Imam Bukhari in 850 A.D.
I have used the collector's original nomenclature because the only printed
English translation (Publisher-Maktaba Dar-us-Salam, Translator-Muhammad
Khan) was abridged and erroneously numbered. Finally, I recommend that you
acquire at least three of the following Qur'an translations: Ahmed Ali,
Pikthal, Noble by Muhsin Khan, Yusuf Ali, or Shakir. The oldest Qur'an
fragments date to around 725 A.D. - a century after they were first recited.
