Osama bin Laden called Muhammad "a Prophet of Conquest." Pakistan's Universal Sunnah Foundation brags that under Muhammad's battlefield leadership; "Islam spread an average of 317 square miles per day."Right now ISIS; al Qaeda; Boko Haram; and the Supreme Leader of Iran know that Islam toppled two of the biggest superpowers in history—Rome and Persia—then took over two-thirds of the inhabited world. Militant Muslims believe that Islam is on the brink of doing it again. The Muhammad Code: How a Desert Prophet Brought You ISIS; al Qaeda; and Boko Haram lays bare the origins of this profoundly dangerous belief.Many contemporary thinkers excuse Islamic violence as a legitimate reaction to Western imperialism. They blame America's wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and the establishment of Israel in 1948. But Jihad was invented in 624 AD by the only prophet ever to call himself "The Prophet of War." And that prophet was not responding to "legitimate grievances;" but an ambition for world conquest.

NofiA summary of the review on StrategyPage.Com'Ragan; the Hunley Project historian and author of "The Hunley and Submarine Warfare in the Civil War"; examines the work of Texan Edgar Collins Singer; a nephew of the sewing machine inventor; and a group of engineers; mechanics; Free Masons; and others; mostly older men not liable for military service; whom he organized (dubbed “The Singer Secret Service Corps) to invent new weapons for the Confederacy; which recognized the value of their work. Although more famous for submersibles; notably the H.L. Hunley; their most significant contribution to the Confederate war effort was their work on much the less glamorous marine mines; called “torpedoes†in the day; which sank 27 Union warships; nearly 40% of Union warship losses from all causes. There’s a good deal of technical detail in the book; but Ragan writes well; despite an excess of qualifiers (“perhapsâ€; “may haveâ€; etc.); and seasons his material with touches of human interest; biographical glimpses at the men involved; background material on events; and so forth. This is likely to be of interest to students of naval warfare in general as well as those of the Civil War. 'For the full review; see StrategyPage.Com
