The Truth about Muhammad… July 6, 2008

Dear Fellow American,In every issue of HUMAN EVENTS, you’ll savor what is a rare moment in newspaper journalism. It’s the moment when the thick fog of liberal bias is blown away to reveal… the covered-up bedrock truth. You’ll find it revitalizing, I promise.

You see, at HUMAN EVENTS, we delight in revealing the “inconvenient” facts that mainstream reporters go to extraordinary lengths to keep you from ever learning about. And we have been doing it for over 60 years now — longer than any other conservative news source in the country.

In addition to great reporting we have the best columnists in the country writing for us — Robert Novak, Terence Jeffrey, Oliver North, David Limbaugh, Thomas Sowell and of course, Ann Coulter.

Does this sound like a breath of fresh air? Good! Because that is precisely why I think you will love HUMAN EVENTS.

Sign up today for a risk-free trial subscription of HUMAN EVENTS, and get a free copy of The Truth About Muhammad absolutely free.

In The Truth About Muhammad (which you can get absolutely free), Robert Spencer uncovers the facts about Muhammad that other biographers and the mainstream media keep hidden — such as:

  • “I have been made victorious with terror” — and other statements of Muhammad on his deathbed
  • The strange incident in Muhammad’s life that makes it virtually impossible to prove rape in Islamic countries today
  • How Muhammad used the graphic lure of Islamic Paradise to urge his warriors to fight furiously to extend his rule
  • “Kill every Jew who comes into your power”: Why Muhammad became so angry with both Jews and Christians — with disastrous consequences that are still playing out in the world today
  • Muhammad’s child bride — and the terrible consequences his marriage to a nine-year-old still has in the Islamic world
  • “War is deceit”: The permission Muhammad gave his followers to lie in order to gain an advantage over their enemies
  • How Muhammad broke the principal treaty he entered into, again setting a pattern for Muslim states thereafter
  • Muhammad’s commands to his followers to wage perpetual war against non-Muslims
  • Muhammad on women’s rights: Women “are prisoners with you having no control of their persons”
  • Why Muhammad still stands as the supreme model of human behavior for Muslims — the “Perfect Man”
  • How other modern biographies “sanitize” the figure of Muhammad for Western audiences

I urge you to sign up today. Not only will you get a FREE copy of this revealing book The Truth About Muhammad, but you also get a risk-free subscription to HUMAN EVENTS.


Sincerely,

Thomas Winter
President and Editor in Chief
