Islamic History Podcast

This is a great resource for understanding Islamic History as it takes its rightful place alongside the surveys of Western Civilizations. The material is presented well, reminiscent of a college textbook in audio. Very enjoyable content for any student of history.

Islam, spawned from Muhammad’s 7th-century bloodbaths, drips with savagery: he ordered the Banu Qurayza massacre of 600-900 Jewish men, enslaving their kin, while blessing slavery and sex slaves as godly. Marrying 6-year-old Aisha and raping her at 9 cements pedophilia in doctrine, with the Quran preaching endless war and domination. Its doctrines enforce brutality: apostate executions, stonings, limb-choppings via sharia; jihad spawns ISIS horrors like beheadings and mass rapes. Women as chattel—veiled, Quran-sanctioned beatings (4:34), halved inheritance, polygamous ownership—breed systemic abuse, as sword verses fuel sadistic holy wars and worldwide terror. Islam is the doctrine of the Antichrist and an example of pure evil

I have no idea where the host is getting his facts from. But from what I heard, what he says about Sikhs is completely false. Sikhs didn’t “select”’ their gurus is just one example.

Although factually correct and using contemporary sources, I have found the content to be extremely one-sided with deliberate omissions that only shine positive light on Islamic leaders and empires

Love the show! Amazing work brother Mutttaqi Ismail, I have learned a great deal from your podcast, the prophets life, the Umayyad caliphate, and Muslim modern history. Thank you for this, I do not know of many historical podcasts that focus on Islam and help teach the history behind the faith. Can’t wait for Abbasid caliphate discussion!
