PROPHET OF DOOM
ISLAM’S TERRORIST DOGMA,
IN MUHAMMAD'S OWN WORDS
Craig Winn

MAY THE TRUTH SET YOU FREE
LETTER TO THE READER
Islam is a caustic blend of regurgitated paganism and twisted
Bible stories. Muhammad, its lone prophet, conceived his religion
solely to satiate his lust for power, sex, and money. He was a
terrorist. And if you think these conclusions are shocking, wait until
you see the evidence.
The critics of this work
will claim that Prophet of Doom is offensive, racist, hatemongering,
intolerant, and unnecessarily violent. I agree—but I didn’t write those
parts. They came directly from Islam’s scriptures. If you don’t like
what Muhammad and Allah said, don’t blame me. I’m just the messenger.
Others will say that I
cherry-picked the worst of Islam to render an unfair verdict. They will
charge that I took the Islamic scriptures out of context to smear
Muhammad and Allah. But none of that is true. Over the course of these
pages, I quote from almost every surah in the Qur’an—many are presented
in their entirety. But more than that, I put each verse in the context
of Muhammad’s life, quoting vociferously from the Sunnah as recorded by
Bukhari, Muslim, Ishaq, and Tabari—Islam’s earliest and more trusted
sources. I even arrange all of this material chronologically, from
creation to terror.
Predicting what he called
the “Day of Doom” was Muhammad’s most often repeated prophecy. While it
did not occur as he foretold in 1110 A.D., it nonetheless came true.
Muslims and infidels alike have been doomed by Islam.
To discover why, we shall
dive into the oldest surviving written evidence. These official works
include: the Sira, Ta’rikh, Hadith, and Qur’an. Ishaq’s Sira, or
biography, called Sirat Rasul Allah, provides the lone account of
Muhammad’s life and the formation of Islam written within 200 years of
the prophet’s death. While the character, message, and deeds portrayed
within its pages are the antithesis of Christ’s and his disciples, the
Sira’s chronological presentation is similar in style to the Christian
Gospels. The Ta’rikh is the oldest, most trusted and comprehensive
history of Islam’s formation and Muhammad’s example, called Sunnah. It
was written by Tabari. His History of al-Tabari is formatted like the
Bible. It begins with Islamic creation and ends with the acts of
Muhammad’s companions. Tabari is a compilation of Hadith quotes and
Qur’an passages. As such, it provides the best skeleton upon which to
flesh out the character of Muhammad and the nature of fundamental
Islam. A Hadith is an oral report from Muhammad or his companions.
Muslims believe that Hadith were inspired by Allah, making them
scripture. The most revered Collection was compiled in a topical
arrangement by Bukhari. Allah’s Book, the Qur’an, lacks context and
chronology, so to understand it, readers are dependent upon the Sira,
Ta’rikh, and
Hadith.
All that can be known about
Muhammad’s deeds, means, motives, god, and scripture is enshrined in
these books. In their pages you will see them as they saw themselves.
My only point of departure from Ishaq and Tabari will be the
comprehensive review of the early Meccan surahs, a period in which they
had very little to say. Our paths will join again as we approach
Islam’s midlife crisis: the Quraysh Bargain, Satanic Verses, Night’s
Journey, and Pledge of Aqaba—a declaration of war against all mankind.
At this point, the Sunnah speaks more clearly than the Qur’an.
So that there will be no confusion, I have set the passages from Islam’s scripture in
bold-faced type. When quoting from
the Qur’an and Hadith, I have elected to use a blended translation. No
language transfers perfectly—one word to another. Five of my twelve
translations of the Qur’an were combined to create the most accurate
conveyance of the message possible. However, the writing quality is so
poor, the proofreaders of this manuscript suggested that I help Allah
and Muhammad out by cleaning up their grammar, punctuation, and
verbosity. So for clarity and readability, I have trimmed their unruly
word patterns and meaningless repetitions, being careful not to alter
the meaning or message of any passage. Insertions within parenthesis
(like this) were added by the Arabic translators to fill in missing
words or to clarify the text. Insertions within brackets [like this]
represent my observations.
I have elected to present Islam’s original source material in juxtaposition to my evaluation of its veracity. This format is similar to that used by the first English translators of Mein Kampf as they attempted to warn America about the dangers lurking in Hitler’s manifesto. They, as I, found it necessary to hold the author accountable. A great deal was at stake then, as it is today. The last time the world was ignorant of such a hateful and violent doctrine, 55 million people died. If we don’t shed our ignorance of Islam, many more will perish.
My quest to understand Islam
began on the morning of September 11th 2001. I wanted to know why
Muslim militants were killing us. So I went off to Ground Zero for
Islamic terror—Israel. The West Bank is home to more suicide bombers
per capita than anywhere else on earth. I arranged to meet with the
terrorists themselves. I asked members of al-Qaeda, Islamic Jihad,
al-Aqsa Martyrs’ Brigade, and Hamas why they were killing us. They
said, “Islam. We are following Muhammad’s orders.” That adventure is
recounted in Tea With Terrorists. It covers a wide range of material
and serves as a companion volume, connecting fundamental Islam to
terrorism. Prophet of Doom focuses strictly on what the Islamic
scriptures have to say.
So, could it be? Could a
prophet and a religion be responsible for today’s terrorist attacks? I
invested 10,000 hours in pursuit of that answer. I wish everyone had.
But knowing that not all are able, I have distilled what I discovered
into these pages.
Now for a word of caution:
this journey of discovery is ordered chronologically. It is not
prioritized by relevance. Explaining the root cause of Islamic terror
is the biggest priority; yet it is not exposed until the last half of
the book. I want you to know Muhammad, Allah, and Islam before you
judge their legacy. So to keep you turning pages, I have endeavored to
make Islam’s early years as entertaining as possible. While Prophet of
Doom is meticulously researched, documented, and accurate, it's written
as if you and I were old friends having a lively chat about the most
important and lethal issue of our day.
One last thought before you
head down this perilous path. I pray that when you have reached the
journey’s end, you will share my heart for the plight of Muslims. I
want nothing more than to free them from Islam, and in so doing, free
us from the terror their doctrine inspires.

Prophet Of Doom
The documented references in Prophet of Doom were derived from
English translations of the following ancient Islamic manuscripts. I
encourage you to purchase and read them. The Sirat Rasul Allah was
written by Ibn Ishaq in 750 A.D. It was edited and abridged by Ibn
Hisham in 830 and translated by Alfred Guillaume under the title, The
Life of Muhammad in 1955 by Oxford Press. The History of al-Tabari was
written by Abu Muhammad bin al-Tabari between 870 and 920 A.D. His
monumental work was translated and published in 1987 through 1997 by
the State University of New York Press. I quote from volumes I, II, VI,
VII, VIII, and IX. Al-Bukhari’s Hadith, titled: Sahih Al-Bukhari and
The True Traditions was collected by Imam Bukhari in 850 A.D. I have
used the collector’s original nomenclature because the only printed
English translation (Publisher-Maktaba Dar-us-Salam,
Translator-Muhammad Khan) was abridged and erroneously numbered.
Finally, I recommend that you acquire at least three of the following
Qur’an translations: Ahmed Ali, Pikthal, Noble by Muhsin Khan, Yusuf
Ali, or Shakir. The oldest Qur’an fragments date to around 725 A.D.—a
century after they were first recited.
