WINSTON CHURCHILLS COMMENTS ON ISLAM
[Sir Winston Churchill has been recognized as one of the greatest men of the late nineteenth and of the twentieth century. He was an extraordinary war leader to whom the Western World must be forever in debt. He was a prophet in his own time as this quotation, written well over 100 years ago, demonstrates.]
"How dreadful are the curses which Mohammedanism lays on its votaries! Besides the fanatical frenzy, which is as dangerous in a man as hydrophobia in a dog, there is this fearful fatalistic apathy. The effects are apparent in many countries, improvident habits, slovenly systems of agriculture, sluggish methods of commerce and insecurity of property exist wherever the followers of the Prophet rule or live. A degraded sensualism deprives this life of its grace and refinement, the next of its dignity and sanctity. The fact that in Mohammedan law every woman must belong to some man as his absolute property, either as a child, a wife, or a concubine, must delay the final extinction of slavery until the faith of Islam has ceased to be a great power among men.
Individual Moslems may show splendid qualities, but the influence of the religion paralyzes the social development of those who follow it. No stronger retrograde force exists in the world. Far from being moribund, Mohammedanism is a militant and proselytizing faith. It has already spread throughout Central Africa, raising fearless warriors at every step, and were it not that Christianity is sheltered in the strong arms of science, the science against which it (Islam) has vainly struggled, the civilization of modern Europe might fall, as fell the civilization of ancient Rome.
[ Postnotes: (1) Sir Winston, as an officer of the British Army, served in the Sudan and in the Crimean War; in both instances against the Muslims. These experiences gave him ample opportunity to observe the structure of Islamic society. (2) Churchills quotes were taken from the volume: Sir Winston Churchill; The River War, first edition, Volume II, pages 248-250, published by Longmans, Green & Company, 1899. (3) If Sir Winston were alive today, it is doubtful that a person in Great Britain criticizing Islam publicly could be arrested, and then fined or jailed, and even more doubtful that any Muslims would be sitting in the English Parliament! ]
Well, Good morning Captain Obvious;)
You give “O” credit for knowing history and KNOWING how to read.
I don’t
“O” removed the bust because he thought it was ‘Mr. Clean’
Think you may be on to something!
Here's another which is really in need of attention today. Arabs make for really bad enemies, and for even worse allies." - Napoleon, in his memoirs

I heard that it had something to do with Obama’s grandfather being arrested by the British for having Mau Mau sympathies.
Well now, that's just plain silly. We absolutely KNOW he can read.
Otherwise, how could he deliver all those inane and offensive speeches off the teleprompter?
Churchill was at the heart of slave trade suppression when the Brits took over German East Africa after World War I where it had moved with a wink, wink, nod, nod type of arrangement.
After Churchill's electoral defeat following the Allied victory in World War II, BO's tribe had wormed their way back to the top of Kenyan society and launched the Mau Mau rebellion in the 1950s. Guess who got elected Prime Minister of Britain again and put an end to it?
BO's disdain for Churchill is very, very personal for these reasons.
Cartoons with stick people?
Or did he just need the space to display his bust of Che?
Didn’t DearLeader say “the future must not belong to those who insult the prophet...”
Me thinks you are on to something. Barry doing payback.
I hold Churchhill in the highest esteem. He reflects so much goodness and truth to me.
Did obama really do this?
He and his wife are a disgrace to this country. They should be ashamed of themselves!
Bingo!
Steelfish, you nailed it. Thanks.
Yes. Occam’s Razor. It’s the Kenya connection.
ISLAM IS NOT, AND NEVER HAS BEEN, A RELIGION OF PEACE.
Of course, thats not the case. To satisfy their blood lust, Muslims then start killing each other for a variety of reasons.. . Before I was nine I had learned the basic canon of Arab life. It was me against my brother; me and my brother against our father; my family against my cousins and the clan; the clan against the tribe; and the tribe against the world and all of us against the infidel. Leon Uris, The Haj
As Byzantine emperor Manuel II Palaiologos, one of the last Christian rulers before the fall of Constantinople to the Muslim Ottoman Empire, in a dialogue with a Persian Muslim scholar, he asked:
Show me just what Muhammad brought that was new and there you will find things only evil and inhuman, such as his command to spread by the sword the faith he preached.
better start being clear that we need to defend our faith and our way of life. Lest we loose them.
Oh, I think Real Americans figured out what Islam is, a long time ago...
The Koran demands perpetual war against all who deny Mahomet as the prophet of God - John Quincy Adams
Treachery and violence are taught as principles of Mohamets religion - John Quincy Adams
While the merciless dogmas of Muhammad remain there can never be peace upon earth - John Quincy Adams
Islam is destined to remain unchanged in the future, as it has been until now, the only possible outcome is a difficult coexistence with those who do not belong to the Muslim community: in an Islamic country, in fact, the non-Muslim must submit to the Islamic system, if he does not wish to live in a situation of substantial intolerance. Likewise, on account of this all-embracing conception of religion and political authority, the Muslim will have great difficulty in adapting to the civil laws in non-Islamic countries, seeing them as something foreign to his upbringing and to the dictates of his religion. Perhaps one should ask oneself if the well-attested difficulties persons coming from the Islamic world have with integrating into the social and cultural life of the West are not explained in part by this problematic situation. We must also recognize the natural right of every society to defend its own cultural, religious, and political identity. It seems to me that this is precisely what Pope Saint Pius V did. (Christianity and Islam in History by Monsignor Walter Brandmüller, president of the Vatican Pontifical Committee for Historical Sciences.)
THE ISLAMIC STATE IN IRAQ
Islam is as much a religion of peace and tolerance today as it has been since its foundation by Muhammad in the 8th century.

Sounds about righ to me!
Important to remember - we're at war with the religion - not individual Muslims who fled here to escape the craziness of a death cult.... Of course if Chruchill had said this today the Southern Poverty Law Center would label him a 'hater' and the FBI and DOJ would be notified. Thank God those groups don't have the power to wipe out history and Churchill's wisdom with it... They would if they could...
