The Mohammed Code: Why a Desert Prophet Wants You Dead
“The Mohammed Code is keeping me up at night. It’s a terrifying book—like a horror novel. It’s the best book I’ve read on Islam…and the most elegantly written.” David Swindle, lifestyle editor, PJ Media
Alexander the Great, Julius Caesar, Napoleon, and Adolph Hitler tried to take over the world. All of them failed. Yet an illiterate desert prophet enabled his followers to hammer together an empire 11 times the size of Alexander the Great’s conquests, 5 times the size of the Roman Empire, and 7 times the size of the USA. How did Mohammed pull it off? And how does his success threaten you and me?
The Mohammed Code is a story you are not supposed to read.
The Mohammed Code is based entirely on Islamic the Quran, the Hadith, Ibn Ishaq, al Tabari, and lives of Mohammed written for Moslem eyes only by Islamic religious leaders, Islamic scholars, and Islamic journalists. The Mohammed Code tells one of the most important and riveting stories in history. The hidden story behind the headlines from shock-spots in Asia, Africa, Europe, Iran, Iraq, Afghanistan, and Pakistan. And the inner secrets of the mosque down the street.
.
If you are a Moslem and you want to be righteous, just, and pure, you are required to follow in the footsteps of Mohammed. What kind of footsteps did Mohammed leave you? His example as the commander of 65 military campaigns. His example as a participant in 27 of those battles. His example as the architect of ethnic expulsions and genocides.
Explains Osama bin Laden, Mohammed was “a Prophet of Conquest.” And Pakistan’s Universal Sunnah Foundation agrees. It says proudly that under Mohammed’s generalship, “Islam spread on an average of 822 square kilometres per day.” Behind that conquest is an astonishing story. The story of Mohammed’s life as a militant. The story of Mohammed’s two favorite tools of war, “deceit” (deception) and “terror.” The story that led to the assembly of the biggest empire in human history…an empire eleven times the size of the conquests of Alexander the Great, five times the size of the Roman Empire, and seven times the size of the United States.
The Mohammed Code is the story of how Mohammed laid out a simple goal--seizing the entire world. A goal so dependent on violence that one of Mohammed’s leading modern interpreters, Islamic Revolutionary Iran’s founding father, the Ayatollah Khomeini, says proudly that “Islam has obliterated many tribes.” The Mohammed Code tells a story unknown in the West, the story that led the Ayatollah to declare that, "Moslems have no alternative... to an armed holy war. ...Holy war means the conquest of all non Moslem territories. ...It will ...be the duty of every able-bodied adult male to volunteer for this war of conquest, the final aim of which is to put Koranic law in power from one end of the earth to the other.”
If you want to know the story of Mohammed’s ten years as a militant, read The Mohammed Code. It is more than just amazing. It is a story whose aftershocks are quaking your life.

About the author
Howard Bloom
25 books306 followers"I know a lot of people. A lot. And I ask a lot of prying questions. But I've never run into a more intriguing biography than Howard Bloom's in all my born days. " Paul Solman, Business and Economics Correspondent, PBS NewsHour
Howard Bloom has been called “next in a lineage of seminal thinkers that includes Newton, Darwin, Einstein,[and] Freud,” by Britain's Channel4 TV, "the next Stephen Hawking" by Gear Magazine, and "The Buckminster Fuller and Arthur C. Clarke of the new millennium" by Buckminster Fuller's archivist. Bloom is the author of The Lucifer Principle: A Scientific Expedition Into the Forces of History ("mesmerizing"—The Washington Post), Global Brain: The Evolution of Mass Mind from the Big Bang to the 21st Century ("reassuring and sobering"—The New Yorker), The Genius of the Beast: A Radical Re-Vision of Capitalism ("Impressive, stimulating, and tremendously enjoyable." James Fallows, National Correspondent, The Atlantic), and The God Problem: How A Godless Cosmos Creates ("Bloom's argument will rock your world." Barbara Ehrenreich). Bloom has been published in arxiv.org, the leading pre-print site in advanced theoretical physics and math. He was invited to tell an international conference of quantum physicists in Moscow in 2005 why everything they know about quantum physics is wrong. And his book Global Brain was the subject of an Office of the Secretary of Defense symposium in 2010, with participants from the State Department, the Energy Department, DARPA, IBM, and MIT. Bloom has founded three international scientific groups: the Group Selection Squad (1995), which fought to gain acceptance for the concept of group selection in evolutionary biology; The International Paleopsychology Project (1997), which worked to create a new multi-disciplinary synthesis between cosmology, paleontology, evolutionary biology, and history; and The Space Development Steering Committee (2007), an organization that includes astronauts Buzz Aldrin, Edgar Mitchell and members from NASA, the National Science Foundation, and the Department of Defense.
Bloom explains that his focus is “mass behavior, from the mass behavior of quarks to the mass behavior of human beings.” In 1968 Bloom turned down four fellowships in psychology and neurobiology and set off on a science project in a field he knew nothing about: popular culture. He was determined to tunnel into the forces of history by entering “the belly of the beast where new myths, new mass passions, and new mass movements are made.” Bloom used simple correlational techniques plus what he calls “tuned empathy” and “saturated intuition” to help build or sustain the careers of figures like Prince, Michael Jackson, Bob Marley, Bette Midler, Billy Joel, Paul Simon, Billy Idol, Peter Gabriel, David Byrne, John Mellencamp, Queen, Kiss, Aerosmith, AC/DC, Grandmaster Flash and The Furious Five, Run DMC, and roughly 100 others. In the process, he generated $28 billion in revenues (more than the gross domestic product of Oman or Luxembourg) for companies like Sony, Disney, Pepsi Cola, Coca Cola, and Warner Brothers. Bloom also helped launch Farm Aid and Amnesty International’s American presence. He worked with the United Negro College Fund,the National Black United Fund, and the NAACP, and he put together the first public service radio campaign for solar power (1981). Today, his focus on group behavior extends to geopolitics. He has debated one-one-one with senior officials from Egypt’s Moslem Brotherhood and Gaza’s Hamas on Iran’s Arab-language international Alalam TV News Network. He has dissected headline issues on Saudi Arabia’s KSA1-TV and on Iran’s global English language Press-TV. And he has appeared fifty two times for up to five hours on 500 radio stations in North America.

Started out good, then got bogged down in its own ramblings, along with factual inconsistencies.
Just calling Islam a "Supermeme Organism" as the ultimate answer to it's rise does not explain it's rise. Every totalitarian state bent on global domination can fit that description, but why is Islam more successful than the others? Just saying it's because Islam is a better meme does not explain anything.
The author also claimed there were atrocities committed by Buddhist crusades without citing any reference. Wars raged in the name of Buddhism would be anathema as all life is sacred in Buddhism. And he claimed the Colossus at Rhodes, one of the Seven Ancient Wonders were destroyed by the Muslims, when it was already felled by an earthquake 800 years earlier.
The idea of comparing Islam to a meme is hardly new and can be neatly summed up here:

Ultimately, the book does not answer it's own questions.

It is a very good source to understand the origins of Islam and its founder but I think the book goes a little to far in trying to portray this religion/empire as an eater of worlds. It gets boring after a while of going through so many quotes and sources that all say the same thing: Islam is bad, Islam is dangerous, beware of Islam, Muhammad was crazy. Sincerely, I was a little dissapointed.

Zionist view on Islam? I'm not sure if I should put it down or continue. Too much condemning.

Beyond frightening.

A look at M from a political rather than as purely religious tome about Islam.... very concerning and unsettling.
