Spencer has studied Islam for 20 years, largely, it seems, to prove that it is an evil, 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>
