Bill Warners geschriften duiken in de politieke dimensies van de islamitische doctrine, waarbij onderscheid wordt gemaakt tussen de islam als religie en wat hij 'Politieke Islam' noemt. Hij definieert deze 'Politieke Islam' als de overtuiging dat de islam de samenleving en politiek moet beheersen, en verder gaat dan persoonlijke religieuze naleving. Zijn werk richt zich op de relatie tussen islamitische leerstellingen en maatschappelijke structuren, in plaats van op het hedendaagse geloof van moslims.

Mohammed's actions and words are called the Sunna. They are found in the Traditions of Mohammed called the Hadith. The Koran commands all Muslims to follow the perfect example of Mohammed's life. The Hadith has all that is needed to practice Islam and is an easy place to begin cultivating an understanding of Islamic doctrine.
According to Islam, the Koran is the perfect word from the only god-Allah. However, this book shows that the stories and ideas in the Koran could be found in the world around Mohammed. Indeed, one view of the Koran is that it is a picture of the religions in Arabia and Syria in the seventh century. Once you take out all of the material that came from the Jews, Christians, Sabaeans, Zoroastrians and Arabs, you have a very small Koran. Even the Islamic religious rituals were taken from the Arab customs of the day. The only original ideas found in the Koran are that Mohammed is the prophet of Allah and if you do not believe it jihad can be used to convince you. Everything else is derivative.
Christians and Jews When Mohammed died, the Christians and Jews of Arabia had been totally subjugated. The history of his relations with the Jews and Christians determined how they have been treated over the past 1400 years. Every action and word that comes from Islam today starts with the Mohammed's perfect example. In the very beginning in Mecca, Mohammed said that his prophecies came via the angel, Gabriel, who was the one who spoke to Moses. In Mecca he presented himself as a prophet in the line of Jewish prophets. However, the Koran also talks about Judgment Day, a Christian concept. In essence Islam is both a Christian and Jewish heresy. Later, in Medina Mohammed persecuted both Jews and Christians. Jihad destroyed the polytheists and subjugated both Jews and Christians. Islam has a dual nature in its dealings with the Jews and Christians. They are "brothers" in religion and they are mortal enemies to be destroyed. You cannot understand the jihad with Israel without knowing the Islamic doctrine of the Christians and Jews.

Mohammed's life is an epic story. He was an orphan who rose from poverty to become the first ruler of all of Arabia. He created a new religion, new methods of war and a new political system including a legal code, the Sharia. Mohammed was the world's greatest warrior. Today no one wages war in the name of Caesar, Alexander the Great, Napoleon or any other military leader. However, every year many people die because of Mohammed. After 1400 years, Islam is more powerful than it has ever been. Mohammed said that one day all of the world would live under his rule of law. To understand Islam, you must know the life of Mohammed. Every Muslim's desire is to live a life identical to his. His every word and deed are the perfect model for being a Muslim. Every Muslim is a Mohammedan. The religion of Islam is not about worshiping Allah; it about worshiping Allah exactly as Mohammed did. This book is unique. It is concise, but it is completely authoritative. The reference system allows you to verify all information.
Mohamedův život je impozantní příběh. Byl sirotkem, který vyrostl v chudobě, aby se nakonec stal vládcem celé Arábie. Vytvořil nové náboženství, přišel s novým způsobem vedení války a ustavil nový politický systém včetně jeho zákonů – šaríe. Mohamed se stal největším světovým válečníkem. V dnešní době nikdo nevede válku ve jménu Caesara, Alexandra Velikého, Napoleona ani jiného vojevůdce. Každý rok však zemře mnoho lidí právě kvůli Mohamedovi. Islám je po 1 400 letech své existence silnější, než kdy předtím. Sám Mohamed tvrdil, že jednoho dne se bude jeho zákony řídit celý svět. K tomu, abyste porozuměli islámu, musíte znát život Mohameda. Touhou každého muslima je žít stejně jako on. Každé jeho slovo a každý jeho čin jsou pro muslimy dokonalým vzorem. Podstatou islámu není samotné uctívání Alláha, ale uctívání Alláha přesně tím způsobem, jakým to dělal Mohamed. Tato kniha je jedinečná v tom, že je stručná, ale přitom směrodatná a důvěryhodná.
