The Churchill Bust

Paul Weston of the Liberty GB party arrested for the following public quote of Churchill.

"In The River War (1899), Winston Churchill's account of the Sudanese campaign, there's a memorable passage which I reproduce here while I'm still able to:"

"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. 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. Thousands become the brave and loyal soldiers of the Queen: all know how to die. But the influence of the religion paralyses 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 proselytising 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 had vainly struggled - the civilisation of modern Europe might fall, as fell the civilisation of ancient Rome."

The whole article is well worth the read.

Just heard Weston interviewed on the Lisa Benson show after his release from jail. After arrest they found out who he was a re-arrested him on a more particular charge that carried jail time if convicted.

They are tailoring these charges for the most chilling effects on the individual charged — it it a vendetta.

So 239 years and a handful of days ago, we colonists got it right. Yet now we’re walking down that same PC path to oblivion.

A bit off topic, but like most of Steyn's writing, worth reading.

Reading the comments to the article, I don't know what was more upsetting....Weston getting arrested by fascist policemen for speaking the truth or the Brit commenters who were upset that Spencer reported on the fascist actions by the police. How dare outsiders criticize their country!! As if millions of foreigners, including many in Britain, don't have a fulltime job criticizing the U.S.

Hey Brits, put your big boy pants on, and face the issue. Take shots at my country if you like...but for the right reasons. If Brits can't get together and stop the Islamic infiltration and degradation of their country, it is lost.

... must delay the final extinction of slavery until the faith of Islam has ceased to be a great power among men.

Very perspicacious, that Churchill.

Steyn ping.

There are plenty of Brits who don't agree with this stuff...and don't agree with the liberal media's treatment of it.

This is not a war between the U.S. and the Brits.

This is a war between Judeo/Christian civilization and Islam.

Let's pull together and recognize the enemy.

The enemy here is Islam.

That book by the young soldier, Churchill, is the reason the muzzies still hate him and want no mention of him, even in the UK. A few years ago, they even managed to get him REMOVED from the school books - IN ENGLAND! a generation of English kids grew up without a clue as to who the one man most responsible from saving us from now speaking German was!

At the time, I was in email correspondence with a grandson of Churchill, Nicholas Soames, House of Commons. I relayed to him how upset - incensed - about this being allowed!

He responded: “Thank you very much for the extremely generous and welcome support you sent me about my grandfather.

It is always a source of immense satisfaction that so many of your fellow countrymen cherish his memory and I can assure you that we, his family, are deeply grateful.

Thank you again very much.”

I understand that, not long ago, this was reversed.

But O’bummer’s crass gesture, one of his first in office, of sending that bust back to the UK was noting short of a ‘in your face’ action of a dedicated muzzie. And the world was silent.

OH, and BTW - I’ amazed Geert Wilders, member of Dutch Parliment, has managed to stay alive. He’s one of the bravest men in Europe. For total enjoyment - listen to his speeches - and he was put through a horrendous trial for ‘hate speech’ -

Without these people brave enough to speak out, we will live under the New Califhate. Believe it.

5 years ago, his warning to America - (who in America has the guts to tell this truh - other than Col. West?)

He was put on a lengthy trial for hate speech.

Geert Wilders defence speech at his hate trial 3 years ago - he won, surprisingly -

Here’s an Austrian MP telling of the Turkish Ambassador - in royal form - wait until he gets going!
