Reviews"[Spencer] has engaged in concerted detective work of a scholarly nature. His book is no polemic. It is a serious quest for facts. . . . Well-written and moves right along." -- Washington Times, " In an impeccably researched book , Spencer shows that all our Arabic sources for the life of Muhammad are very late, tendentious, and unsupported by any archaeological or epigraphic evidence, while the non-Islamic sources are scant and ambiguous. Thanks to this book, skepticism regarding what we can know about Muhammad must now and forever be taken seriously." -- Ibn Warraq , editor of What the Koran Really Says, Spencer's careful, detailed, well-reasoned survey and analysis of the historical evidence offer strong evidence that Muhammad and Islam itself were post facto creations of Arab conquerors. . . . [A] brave book." — FrontPage Magazine, "Robert Spencer has displayed brilliant scholarship and fierce courage in his previous books. In this one he perseveres and confronts with deep erudition the most topical problem of our century ." -- Bat Ye'or , author of The Decline of Eastern Christianity under Islam, Concerted detective work of a scholarly nature. [Spencer's] book is no polemic. It is a serious quest for facts."— Washington Times, "Impeccably researched . . . Thanks to this book, skepticism regarding what we can know about Muhammad must now and forever be taken seriously." --Ibn Warraq , editor of What the Koran Really Says, "Impeccably researched . . . Thanks to this book, skepticism regarding what we can know about Muhammad must now and forever be taken seriously." —Ibn Warraq , editor of What the Koran Really Says , "A super detective service for the West . . . Spencer leaves few rocks unturned in his search for the truth about Islam and Muhammad." -- Capitalism Magazine, "For too long, the topic of Islamic historiography has been confined to highly specialized academia. . . . An accessible primer on the subject as we have here is most welcome." -- American Spectator, For too long, the topic of Islamic historiography has been confined to highly specialized academia. . . .

SynopsisEverything you thought you knew about Islam is about to change This stunning book uncovers provocative evidence that forces us to ask: Did Muhammad, Islam's founding prophet, even exist? It is a question that few have thought--or dared--to ask. But the widely accepted story of Islam's origins begins to crumble on close examination. In Did Muhammad Exist? bestselling author Robert Spencer brings to early Islam the same level of probing historical criticism scholars have long applied to Christianity and Judaism. Meticulously examining historical records, archaeological findings, and pioneering new scholarship, Spencer challenges the most fundamental assumptions about Islam's origins--raising questions with profound implications for our world today., In The Truth about Muhammad, Robert Spencer revealed the shocking contents of the earliest Islamic biographical material about the prophet of Islam. Now, in Did Muhammad Exist?, he uncovers that material's surprisingly shaky historical foundations. Spencer examines historical records, archaeological findings, and new scholarship to reconstruct what we can know about Muhammad, the Qur'an, and the early days of Islam.
