Product Description
Why are some Muslims intolerant, violent and supremacist? Why do they bully? What spurs them to riot and murder over the silliest things? To understand Muslims, one must understand their prophet. This psychobiography seeks to unveil the mystery of the prophet of Islam. Historians tell us Muhammad used to withdraw to a cave, spending days wrapped in his thoughts. He heard bells ringing and had ghostly visions. He thought he was demon possessed, until his wife reassured him he had become a prophet. Convinced of his status, he was intolerant of those who rejected him, assassinated those who criticized him, raided, looted, and massacred entire populations. He reduced thousands to slavery, raped, and allowed his men to rape female captives. All of this, he did with a clear conscience and a sense of entitlement. He was magnanimous toward those who admired him, but vengeful toward those who did not. He believed he was the most perfect human creation and the universe's raison d'etre. Muhammad was no ordinary man. This book ventures beyond the stories. Focusing on the "why" rather than the "what," it unravels the mystique of one of the most enigmatic and influential men in history. Islam is Muhammadanism. Muslims worship and emulate Muhammad. Only by understanding him can one know what makes them tick. Understanding Muhammad begins with a brief history of his life. Muhammad had a loveless childhood. He then passed to the care of relatives who took pity on him and spoiled him. As the result he developed narcissistic personality disorder, a trait that made him a megalomaniac bereft of conscience. Muhammad believed in his own cause. Even when he lied, he felt entitled and justified to do so. Thanks to another mental illness, namely temporal lobe epilepsy, the prophet of Islam had vivid hallucinations he interpreted as mystical and divine intimations. He also suffered from obsessive compulsive disorder, causing his fixations on numbers, rituals and stringent rules. In the addition, he suffered from acromegaly, a disease caused by excessive production of a growth hormone resulting in large bones and odd facial features. The combination of his psychological disorders and his unusual physiognomy made him a phenomenon that set him apart from ordinary people. His uneducated followers interpreted his differences as signs of his prophethood. Like devotees of all cults, they rose to champion his cause with dedication. By defying death and butchering others they made Islam the world's second largest religion, now the biggest threat to world peace. The author argues that Islam is incompatible with democracy and human rights, and the only way to avert the clash between barbarity and civilization, and a world disaster, is to expose its fallacy and demystify it. "Muslims must be weaned from Islam for humanity to live in peace," says Ali Sina.

The truth shall set you free May 22, 2008
55 out of 61 found this review helpful

Ali Sina is uniquely qualified to write a book on Mohammad. He is an Iranian ex-Muslim, who grew up in orthodox surroundings, and underwent the same brain washing that every Muslim does. In his youth, he read the Islamic literature extensively and was filled with revulsion at the violence inherent in the Koran, the immorality of the Hadiths and the general venom which these books spew towards non-believers. He apostasized, and left his country for good, settling down in Canada.

Now he runs a website called faithfreedom.org bringing the truth about Islam to the entire world. There is also a testimonies section in his website, where ex-Muslims share their experiences of Islam.

With this book Ali Sina joins the league of Ibn Warraq, Ayaan Hirsi Ali and Robert Spencer in bringing the truth about Islam to a wider audience. Islam has survived on misinformation and repression. Throughout its 14 centuries of violent history, criticising Islam was a risk you could undertake only at the cost of your life. Now internet has enabled us to remain anonymous critcs of this ghastly cult. The veil has been lifted, now its only a matter of time before the cult of lies collapses like a pack of card. This scourge has troubled the world 20 times as long as communism and claimed 50 times as many lives, along with destroying advanced civilizations like Persia, Egypt and Mesopotamia, besides wiping out Buddhists from India and killing and subjugating millions of Hindus. Islam's decimation will come not a moment too soon, whenever it comes. And yes, I have a gut feeling that it will be within the next few decades.

Any effort to free minds and souls from Muhammad's destructive web is commendable. May 16, 2008

Any and all serious efforts to shine light on the darkness that is Islam is to be highly commended.
This book, and the author who knowingly subjects himself to Islam's characteristically harsh reaction by all who are caught in this web of lies and suppress all efforts to expose it for the death cult that it truly is certainly is worthy of deep respect.

Thank you, Mr. Sina, for being willing to put yourself and those you love at risk in the honorable service of truth.

This book could save millions of lives June 19, 2008

I had anxiously awaited this book for some time, being a huge fan of Ali Sina from his website, Faithfreedom.org, as well as from his contributions to Islam-watch.org. His writings are always well-researched, insightful, illuminating, and fascinating. He combines a deep understanding of the human soul and mind with a deep understanding of Islam, the Muslim mind, and the cultural factors involved in the Muslim world. He is never apologetic, and is often accused of being a liar simply for telling the ignorant what they really need to know. This book is quite an ambitious project, but a necessary one, and Ali Sina is the perfect person to undertake it, as he is ever-able to combine his deep-rooted regard for the truth about Islam, which is almost invariably quite ugly, with an unabashed compassion for Muslims, since he believes that we must never sink to their level, but rather, always abide by the Golden Rule, love our neighbors, and hope that one day they will come to understand that what they believe is evil through and through, that Islam is not a religion, but rather a nihilistic Nazi death-cult and a totalitarian, colonialist political movement. I like to agree with him and believe that Muslims are good people, who are victims of inhumane circumstance, and who simply need deprogramming and a solid dose of the truth.

This book should be required reading in schools. Sina goes beyond Robert Spencer's "The Truth About Muhammad," which is also fantastic book and should also be required reading, but Sina seeks to answer the question "so what was wrong with Muhammad?" As it turns out, lots. He takes into account his childhood, which was unstable, and during which he alternately experienced undue adulation and a complete lack of love, resulting in one of the most extreme cases of malignant narcissism the world has ever seen. Combine these experiences with a medieval Bedouin culture which is actually quite similar to Arab culture today, in that it is a "shame" culture, like that of the Nazis and the Shintos, which substitutes honor for morality. It is a culture in which one does not take pride in hard work, one does not admit one's faults, accept blame, or ever, under any circumstancs, acknowledge, let alone confront, societal, familial, and personal problems. The truth, like hard work and empathy, was never highly valued in the Arab world.

It is important to understand Muhammad because 1.2 billion people follow his narcissistic, immoral/amoral example, to this day behaving and thinking in a clannish manner, never even conveiving of the Golden Rule, the ultimate moral compass, the basis of morality. Instead, they are forced to be OCD about the number of times they wipe their butts, bring "religion" into the bedroom, and have every behavior and aspect of life dictated to them, including which foot to put one's weight on while on the toilet, the proper showering procedure, and of course, every aspect of one's sex life. Muhammad was not only OCD. He was also a necrophiliac who reveled in zombifying people, if only by force. Cult leaders do this, and the more difficult the travails of one's "faith," the more inclined they are to believe it. After all, they've put forth too much effort for it to possibly be untrue, right? A million crazy rules serve as a substitute for morality in Islam because Muhammad was a power-hungry opportunist. There is no "thou shalt not kill" or "thou shalt not lie" in Islam. There is halal (permissible) and haram (forbidden). So while the Koran sanctions the rape of one's daughers and sisters (Q 2.071), lying to, stealing from, and killing unbelievers, infidel "sons of apes and pigs," one may never mortage a house, take out student loans, or enjoy a glass of wine. Islam is submission, and Muhammad was a power-hungry psychopath who needed for people to either submit to his will or die. While Muhammad was an unfathomably evil mad man, Sina manages to always portray him as human. To conceive of Muhammad as a monster is not only too easy, but also dangerous, as to do so would be denying that circumstances, people, and culture could create such a person. Sina believes that everyone is born pure and innocent. What one becomes after that is first a matter of chance, and then choice.

Whereas I had always assumed that Muhammad was simply schizophrenic, what with the bells and whistles, the flashing lights, and then the all-out audio-visual hallucinations, Sina's thesis is that Muhammad actually suffered from temporal lobe epilepsy and agromegaly, which he does quite a good job at proving through historical reconstructions and psychological profiling. A schizophrenic would be unlikely to rise to power in the way that Muhammad did. This explains the visions, the fact that he often believed something had happened when in fact it had not, that he was always paranoid and extremely insecure (although malignant narcissism also explains those), which caused him to forbid anyone from marrying his wives after his death (including his 18-year-old brain-damaged widow Aisha), from ever looking directly at them, or from ever uttering an unkind word about him. We see the ramifications of this today. If someone insults "the leader" (arms straight out, zombie eyes), watch how angry Muslims become. Watch how they treat their women: they force them to wear veils which serve to deprive them of 100% of their diginity, identity, their femininity, and their sexual power; they murder their female relatives for speaking with an umarried male in public, etc., etc. This is partly because his agromegaly caused a greatly increased sex drive combined with impotence which even modern medicine is often unable to overcome. This fact, combined with his loveless upbring and abandonment by his mother, led to an extreme misogyny. Misogyny is obviously nothing more than narcissistic projection, since women are capable of doing everything that men are, plus childbearing, and most importantly here, controlling men with our sexuality. What two attributes do misygynists ascribe to women, Muhammad himself quite explicitly? Stupidity and weakness. Why? Because misogynists, even when they are intelligent enough to understand that they are being controlled, still allow themselves to fall under the spell of female sexuality, thereby making them necessarily weak, stupid, and subconsciously ashamed of that, particularly in a shame culture. So normal, natural sexual desire becomes unnatural, evil hatred. Pretty sick.

The saddest part of the story of Muhammad as it has unfolded throughout history is what it does to families. By declaring that believers must love him more than their own families, generation after generation of Muslims mistreat their children, especially their daughters, who end up raising their own children without love. Children in the Muslim world undergo unspeakable horrors, not the least of which is growing up completely unloved, but also being taught to hate, female genital mutilation, general degradation, being told that they are evil, enduring sanctioned sex abuse at home, in school, and in mosques, sometimes even being turned into suicide bombers before they are old enough to understand what they are doing, and in the case of girls, being pimped away by their family at an always inappropriately young age, usually to someone much older or a cousin, always for money. Muslims have no choice but to learn to hate themselves, women, infidels, and pretty much everyone. The only people whom it is even acceptable to accept are Muslim men, and they are the oppressors, and are often child molesters, wife beaters, polygamists, pedophiles, and rapists, all of which are perfectly permissible in the Muslim world, thanks to the example set by their "prophet." Horrible, loveless childhoods, in addition to polygamy, cause the tragic, dangerous, and volatile cycle of narcissism to repeat itself over and over. Wafa Sultan, the renowned Syrian-American psychologist, once said that nobody could possibly read the Koran, believe a word of it, and maintain any semblance of mental health whatsoever. She is right. For the Koran is Islam, and Islam is Muhammad: malignantly narcissistic, incapable of love, incapable of even a basic understanding of humanity let alone empathy, completely immoral/amoral, regressive even by medieval Bedouin Arab standards, corrupt, intolerant, hateful, oppressive towards women and children, absolutely soulless, evil incarnate, and ultimately wholly political, but never divine. If this book were required reading, who knows how many millions of lives could be saved? Thank you Ali.

Note to the buyer: please buy a NEW copy, if possible. Ali Sina is incredibly giving of his time and energy on Faithfreedom.org, and he does this because he wants to save lives. He finally undertook a project which will pay him. Let him get his due. Thank you. Also, these bad reviews are obviously from people who have not read the book. Ali Sina is frequently subjected to this sort of abuse for telling the truth about an evil cult. He also always manages to rise above it.

Good information but poorly written June 17, 2008
29 out of 31 found this review helpful

Ali Sina is a brave man, and he make some interesting observations about the various mental illnesses and pathologies Muhammed exhibited. Unfortunately he isn't a very good writer and the book is a bit repetitive. Having said that, I do think this is a very important book and should be read by anyone who wants to understand the danger we face from this cult masquerading as a "Religion of Peace".

If people weren't so afraid of Islamic bullies in academia, we would see more analysis of Islam's fairly sordid origins.

It's pretty clear from the Mohammedans who wrote reviews here, they didn't read the book, nor will they, because they aren't allowed to.

A must read to actually understand Islam June 3, 2008
26 out of 28 found this review helpful

For over a year I have been waiting for Ali Sina's book "Understanding Muhammad". I honestly thought that it would be the usual drivel over Muhammad. Boy! was I wrong! I read the book with a very askance view. I was looking for the errors. I was aiming to pick apart the style needed to examine such a complex subject. I was aiming to critically expose every flaw.

I was wrong! It is a great book for any critical thinker. It is so refreshing to pick up a book that you cannot lay down. It is hard to write about this complex subject and keep the readers attention. But Ali Sina did it. I completed the book in two settings.

I have some idea of how hard it is to convey basic ideas. That is the hardest thing to do in written communication and then to communicate a complete religion and its basic precepts is a totally different task. Well, Dr. Sina did it. Dr. Sina's use of professional views and scientific information to help weave his ideas and story line was basic into letting us understand Muhammad, maybe for the first time.

No facts are assumed in this book. Opinions are stated as opinions and facts stated as facts and questions stated as questions. The only pursuit involved in this book is that of the absolute truth for a logical mind.

Ali Sina has given us a book that can be used for future reference. He has produced a fantastic work presenting facts, associations and leaves the reader to make his own cognitive decisions. The book has given us so much to open our eyes to Islam and what it means to all. Now I actually feel that I "Understand" Muhammad.

I hope that all atheists, Muslims, Christians, Buddhists and Jews can read this book and read it with an open mind. It is by far the best book that I have read on the subject of Islam in that it really gets into the physical reasons why Muhammad should receive both our pity and hate at the same time.

Muslims' negative reaction to this book is expected. I only wish they had read the book prior to commenting on it.
