Islam Began at the Kaaba, and the Conquest Never Stopped
Tom Holland's In the Shadow of the Sword is the best book I've found on where Islam came from, and I'm only on page 30. Muhammad, the Kaaba, and one line that explains the Muslim Brotherhood and Iran's proxies today.
From Friday's show: who Muhammad was and when he lived, the problem with a story written down generations after the fact, what Muhammad did to the idols at the Kaaba, and Holland's line about making the entire world a Kaaba. Then why it matters now: conquest by violence and by soft power, the Muslim Brotherhood's 100-year plan, and the Islamic regime's proxies in Lebanon, Yemen and Gaza.
