It's a sorry plight to be a citizen in many Arab states

It's not easy living in an Arab state. Egyptians stay away from government hospitals; illiteracy among women in some countries can top 50 percent A new United Nations report presents a bleak and sometimes scary picture of a citizen's life in the Arab countries. One out of every five people in the region lives on less than $2 a day; the illiteracy rates are very high; and, for the most part, public health services cannot be relied on at all.

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 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 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 had vainly struggled, the civilization of modern Europe might fall, as fell the civilization of ancient Rome.

— Sir Winston Churchill (The River War, first edition, Vol. II, pages 248-50 [London: Longmans, Green & Co., 1899]).

That's how the Mullah mafia keep the people faithful to that ridiculous blood cult. Ignorance and brainwashing from birth. it's essential to destroy a muslims ability to rationalize and think independently before they learn to read and write. There wouldn't be any muslims if they learned to read what that murderous pedophile was all about before the brainwashing.

How many billions and billions of petrodollars have been paid to the rulers of Arab nations?

Surly enough to build a few schools and hospitals...

Alas... Saudi princes need their palaces and Rolls Royce automobiles, etc.

Tough being a member of the unwashed herd, but oh man.... must be great to be the king!

It’s even tougher for CHRISTIANS.

My late brother-in-law’s Lebanese Christian grandfather relocated the entire family from Beirut many years ago due to PERSECUTION BY THE MUSLIMS THERE.

America will become another Beirut - or worse - if we continue to allow the muslims to infiltrate the culture.
