Craig Winn's controversial and inflammatory work, Prophet of Doom, begins with this statement: "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." Needless to say, the book is certain to offend Muslims for it disparages nearly every aspect of Islam. Winn attempts to deflect such criticism upfront by claiming that he is merely quoting the Qur'an and other Islamic texts and is therefore "just the messenger." Further, he claims that he is unconcerned about being offensive because his goal is to educate people about the root causes of terrorism and the inherent dangers of Islam in the same way that early translators of Mein Kampf tried to warn an unsuspecting world of Hitler's intentions. "If we don’t shed our ignorance of Islam, many more will perish," he writes.

Admittedly, prior to the attacks of September 11, 2001, Winn knew little about Islam. According to the author, the tragic events of that day led him to investigate why Muslims were so intent on killing Infidels, Americans in particular. He also claims to have interviewed members of al-Qaeda, Islamic Jihad, al-Aqsa Martyrs' Brigade, and Hamas, and studied Islamic texts, referring to five different translations in the process. Blending these translations in order to express the nuances of the writing to further his premise, Winn selectively quotes from the Qur'an, various Islamic texts, and the biography of Muhammad, to make his case that that Islam is the "world's largest and most violent organization" and "rotten to the core." Rather than educate readers about the Islamic faith, the book's sole purpose seems to be to shock and inflame readers---and in that regard it succeeds. --Shawn Carkonen

From the Author
There is but one Islam, a singular correct view of Muhammad, his religion, and his god. It is the one found in the Qur'an and Hadith. There is no independent record of Muhammad in history from which a variant view may be drawn. The Hadith and Qur'an are the sole repository of information on this man, his times, means, and mission. The Muhammad of Islam, the god of Islam, and the religion of Islam must be as these sources present them. Prophet of Doom is dedicated to exposing Islam's scriptures and what Muhammad had to say about himself, his ambition, religion, and god...

From the Inside Flap
Muhammad was a terrorist. He was among the most evil and deceitful men who ever lived. The fraud he perpetrated has caused billions of Muslims to live in social, economic, religious, and intellectual poverty. His legacy is Jihad-holy war against all non-Muslims. His Qur'an orders the faithful to wipe infidels out to the last, to deceive them, to ambush them, to enslave them, to torture them, and to murder them. This is not Winn's opinion; it is the only rational conclusion that can be drawn. It's based upon the evidence-Muhammad's words and deeds as they were reported in the Islamic scriptures. Islam's most revealing book is the Sira, a biography of the prophet written by Ishaq a century after Muhammad's death. Without it, Islam would not exist, since virtually nothing would be known about Muhammad, the first Muslims, their formation of Islam, or the five pillars. Further, without the context of place, people, and time that Ishaq's chronology provides, the Qur'an would be rendered indecipherable, little more than an incoherent and violent rant. Yet the picture this and other Islamic scriptures paint is not flattering. The inspired Sunnah collections of Ishaq, Tabari, and Bukhari reveal that Muhammad created Islam in order to steal money from the Persians and Byzantines by way of bloody conquest. Muhammad is shown leading seventy-five terrorist raids-armed assaults against civilians. He claimed that his motive was money. The story that unfolds in these pages begins as laughable; it becomes repulsive and then putrid. Islam's own scriptures admit that Muhammad was an unrestrained sexual pervert, engaged in pedophilia, incest, rape, and womanizing. He authorized deceptions, assassinations, tortures, thievery, slavery, and mass murder. He was a pirate, not a prophet. Allah was no different. Muhammad's god condoned immoral and criminal behavior. Allah boasts of being a terrorist. He claims to have deceived men, stolen their property, enslaved women and children, and to have committed murder, genocide, and sadistic acts of torture. The character attributed to Allah in the Qur'an is identical to the depiction of Satan in the Bible. Prophet of Doom was written to expose what Islam's prophet had to say about himself, his ambition, religion, and god. After personally meeting with terrorists from al-Qaeda, Hamas, al-Aqsa Martyrs' Brigade, and Islamic Jihad, and asking them why they were killing us, Winn dedicated his life to saving Muslims and non-Muslims alike from Islam. He discovered that the best way to free mankind from Islam is to reveal what its scriptures have to say about its prophet and god. So he has brought Islam's earliest and most important books together-the Qur'an, Ishaq's Sira, Tabari's History, and Bukhari's Hadith-arranged them chronologically, and provided a running commentary so as to hold them accountable. Islam's Terrorist Dogma in Muhammad's Own Words* Terror: Bukhari Allah's Apostle said, "I have been made victorious with terror!" Qur'an I shall terrorize the infidels. So wound their bodies and incapacitate them. Tabari The battle cry was: "Kill! Kill! Kill!" Fighting: Bukhari Fighting in Allah's Cause is better than the world and whatever is in it. Qur'an Wipe the infidels out to the last. War: Qur'an Fight and kill the disbelievers wherever you find them. Take them captive, harass them, and ambush them using every stratagem of war. Qur'an Fight them till all opposition ends and the only religion is Islam. Ishaq We are pledging ourselves to wage war against all mankind. Murder: Tabari Killing disbelievers is a small matter to us. Bukhari The Prophet had their men killed, their women and children taken as captives. Ishaq The prophet declared, "Kill every Jew." Torture: Qur'an Crucify them or cut off a hand and foot on opposite sides. Ishaq Muhammad ordered, "Torture him until you root out what he has." Thievery: Qur'an Booty is lawful and good. Tabari Muhammad began seizing their herds and property bit by bit. Stupidity: Bukhari The Prophet said, "I have been caused by Allah to forget the Qur'an. So keep reciting it because the Qur'an escapes faster than a runaway camel." Bukhari Satan circulates in human beings as blood flows in our bodies. Science: Bukhari If a man has sexual intercourse and gets discharge first, the child will resemble him. Tabari Gabriel brings the sun a garment of luminosity. It is longer in the summer. The sun puts it on as you put on your clothes. Tabari The sun tumbles from its chariot, causing a total eclipse. Tolerance: Bukhari If a Muslim discards his religion, kill him. Qur'an Prepare against the infidels whatever arms and weaponry you can muster so that you can terrorize them. Freedom: Qur'an No Muslim has any choice after Allah and his Apostle have decided a matter. Racism: Ishaq The Prophet said, "If a black man comes to you, his heart more gross than a donkey's." Women: Tabari The Prophet married Aisha. At the time, she was six. Qur'an You may take whomever you desire. Bukhari I was shown hell, and the majority of its dwellers were women. Money: Tabari What is this religion? Muhammad claims Allah has sent him with this religion so that the treasures of Persia and Rome will be given to him by conquest. Demons: Bukhari A person missed the morning prayer, so the Prophet said, "Satan urinated in his ears." Ishaq Muhammad said, "Woe is me. I am possessed." Deception: Qur'an Allah has sanctioned the dissolution of your vows. Qur'an Allah is not bound by treaties. Bukhari War is deceit. Qur'an You have in the Messenger a beautiful pattern of conduct to follow.
