Spencer has studied Islam for 20 years, largely, it seems, to prove that it is an inherently violent religion. He is a hero of the American right and author of the US bestseller ''The Politically Incorrect Guide to Islam''. Like any book written in hatred, his new work is a depressing read. Spencer makes no attempt to explain the historical, political, economic and spiritual circumstances of 7th-century Arabia, without which it is impossible to understand the complexities of [[Muhammad]]’s life. Consequently he makes basic and bad mistakes of fact. Even more damaging, he deliberately manipulates the evidence. <ref> [http://www.ft.com/cms/s/2/4a05a4a4-f134-11db-838b-000b5df10621.html Balancing the Prophet] Published: April 27 2007  </ref>
