CHURCHILL ON ISLAM....

Put aside your 'social conscience"and read this to the end.Unbelievable, but the speech below was written in 1899! I am sending the attached short speech from Winston Churchill, delivered by him in 1899 whenhe was a young soldier and journalist. It probably sets out the currentviews of many but expressed in the wonderful Churchillian turn of phrase and use of the English language, of which he was a past master. Sir WinstonChurchill was, without doubt, one of the greatest men of the late 19th and20th centuries. He was a brave young soldier, a brilliant journalist, an extraordinary politician and statesman, a great war leader and PrimeMinister, to whom the Western world must be forever in his debt. He was aprophet in his own time; He died on 24 January 1965, at the grand old age of 90 and, after a lifetime of service to his country, was accorded a State funeral. HERE IS THE SPEECH:"How dreadful are the curses which Mohammedanism lays on its votaries!Besides the fanatical frenzy, which is as dangerous in a man as hydrophobiain a dog, there is this fearful fatalistic apathy. The effects are apparentin many countries, improvident habits, slovenly systems of agriculture,sluggish methods of commerce, and insecurity of property exist wherever thefollowers of the Prophet rule or live. A degraded sensualism deprives thislife 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 hisabsolute 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 agreat power among men. Individual Moslems may show splendid qualities, butthe influence of the religion paralyses the social development of those whofollow it. No stronger retrograde force exists in the world. Far from beingmoribund, Mohammedanism is a militant and proselytising faith. It hasalready spread throughout Central Africa, raising fearless warriors at every step; and were it not that Christianity is sheltered in the strongarms of science, the science against which it had vainly struggled, thecivilization 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)

Churchill saw it coming.
