Tolerance, critical thinking and inclusion are relativistic terms.

What these really mean depends on who you're talking to.

For Paul Weston, this isn't very tolerant or inclusive of his ideas and culture, isn't it?

The words are as true today as they were when Churchill wrote them.

So quoting Churchill will get you arrested in the UK these days huh?

Watch the same happen here when we quote the founding fathers in about 15-20 years.

“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. 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 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.”

— Winston Churchill, “The River War” 1899

Maybe Christians and conservatives should be “taking offense” every time a leftist opens their mouth

So if Churchill was alive today and publicly quoted his own book, then he would have been hauled off to the pokey too?

Britain is finished.

But they tolerate muslim hate speech????

Did they arrest the guy who butchered a British soldier in broad daylight?

England...the origin of the Magna Carta...and the brave country that stood up to Hitler is gone.

I remember what Reagan said: “Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn’t pass it on to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children’s children what it was once like in the United States where men were free.”

Churchill would be arrested if he said them today. Islam is terrorism, and they are TERRORISING the UK.
