Howard Bloom’s The Mohammad Code: Attempted Banishment by Public Library of Ottawa ?

An attempt is being made to ban Howard Bloom’s book The Muhammad Code: How a Desert Prophet Brought You ISIS, Al Qaeda, and Boko Haram from the Public Library of Ottawa, the capitol of Canada.

The Muhammad Code tells the story of the birth of militant Islam and of its goal—making war on the world until the entire planet is ruled by Islam.  The creator of militant Islam was the prophet Muhammad himself, a man who called himself “the prophet of war,” a man who commanded 65 military campaigns and personally led 27 of them, a man who the Universal Sunnah Foundation in Lahore, Pakistan, says conquered 317 square miles of territory a day for ten years straight.

The primary sources for The Muhammad Code are the holy books of Islam, the Qur’an, the Hadith, and the Seerah.  Including histories of Muhammad written by early Muslim historians. Many of these histories are published in the Muslim world only.  Some are taught to every Muslim child.  But you are not supposed to read them.

The Ottawa Public Library received eleven formal challenges to books in its collection in 2024.  The challenge against The Muhammad Code called for the book’s absolute removal from the library’s collection.  The grounds?  “Inaccurate information, Islamophobic.”

The claim of “inaccurate information” is itself inaccurate.  The Muhammad Code has an unprecedented 1,930 scholarly citations. It was called “more thorough than anything I have ever read” by social researcher Tsvi Bisk. And it was rated “incredibly well researched” by former Deputy Director of The Project for Excellence in Journalism, Carl Gottlieb.

What’s more, the Muhammad Code’s author has been called the Einstein, Newton, Darwin and Freud of the 21^st century by Britain’s Channel 4 TV.

To suppress The Muhammad Code’s information, challenges against Bloom’s work on Islam were first mounted in the 1990s.  The accusation of inaccuracy was made by the leading Islamic pressure group in the United States, the Council for American Islamic Relations.  CAIR tried to get Bloom’s first book, The Lucifer Principle, yanked from bookshelves and pulped.

But the “inaccuracies” alleged by CAIR were quintuple checked in Islamic source materials—materials you are not supposed to see.  The result?  CAIR’s claims were lies.  But CAIR was counting on the West’s ignorance of Islam to cover up that fact.

As for “Islamophobia,” Bloom says, “Islamophobia is a legitimate and necessary fear of Islam.”  Why does Bloom consider Islamophobia legitimate and necessary?  Because, says Bloom, Mohammed himself in 629 AD laid out the goal of world conquest.  Or Allah revealed that goal to him.  Later followers divided the world into two zones—Dar el Harb and Dar el Islam.  The home of war and the home of peace.  Any territory that has not surrendered to Islam or has not been conquered by it is considered a legitimate target of war. A legitimate target of a never-ending jihad.

In other words, Islam has been waging a world war against the West since the armies of Mohammed first attacked the brigades of the Roman Empire in 629 AD.

Says Bloom, “it is the policy of the 57-nation Organization of Islamic Cooperation to suppress this fact.”  The OIC’s tool for that suppression is the concept “Islamophobia.” Concludes Bloom, “The word Islamophobia exists to keep you blindfolded…and vulnerable.”

Howard Bloom of the Howard Bloom Institute has been called the Einstein, Newton, Darwin, and Freud of the 21st century by Britain’s Channel 4 TV.  One of his eight books–Global Brain—was the subject of a symposium thrown by the Office of the Secretary of Defense including representatives from the State Department, the Energy Department, DARPA, IBM, and MIT. Bloom’s work has been published in The Washington Post, The Wall Street Journal, Wired, Psychology Today, and the Scientific American. Concludes Joseph Chilton Pearce, author of Evolution’s End and The Crack in the Cosmic Egg, “I have finished Howard Bloom’s [first two] books, The Lucifer Principle and Global Brain, in that order, and am seriously awed, near overwhelmed by the magnitude of what he has done. I never expected to see, in any form, from any sector, such an accomplishment.  I doubt there is a stronger intellect than Bloom’s on the planet.”  Bloom’s next book, coming out February, 2025, is The Case of the Sexual Cosmos: Everything You Know About Nature is Wrong. Harvard’s Ellen Langer calls The Case of the Sexual Cosmos “fascinating.”  For more, see http://howardbloom.net orhttp://howardbloom.institute
