Winston Churchill
Sir Winston
Leonard Spencer-Churchill (1874 – 1965) was a British politician known chiefly
for his leadership of the United Kingdom during World War II. He is widely
regarded as one of the great wartime leaders, and was voted the greatest Briton
of all time.[135]
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 civilisation of modern Europe might fall, as fell the civilisation of ancient Rome.[136][137]

Fanaticism is not a cause of war. It
is the means which helps savage peoples to fight. It is the spirit which
enables them to combine--the great common object before which all personal or
tribal disputes become insignificant. What the horn is to the rhinoceros, what
the sting is to the wasp, the Mohammedan faith was to the Arabs of the
Soudan--a faculty of offence or defence.[138]
It is, thank heaven, difficult if not
impossible for the modern European to fully appreciate the force which
fanaticism exercises among an ignorant, warlike and Oriental population.
Several generations have elapsed since the nations of the West have drawn the
sword in religious controversy, and the evil memories of the gloomy past have
soon faded in the strong, clear light of Rationalism and human sympathy. Indeed
it is evident that Christianity, however degraded and distorted by cruelty and
intolerance, must always exert a modifying influence on men's passions, and
protect them from the more violent forms of fanatical fever, as we are
protected from smallpox by vaccination. But the Mahommedan religion increases,
instead of lessening, the fury of intolerance. It was originally propagated by
the sword, and ever since, its votaries have been subject, above the people of
all other creeds, to this form of madness. In a moment the fruits of patient
toil, the prospects of material prosperity, the fear of death itself, are flung
aside. The more emotional Pathans are powerless to resist. All rational
considerations are forgotten. Seizing their weapons, they become Ghazis--as dangerous
and as sensible as mad dogs: fit only to be treated as such. While the more
generous spirits among the tribesmen become convulsed in an ecstasy of
religious bloodthirstiness, poorer and more material souls derive additional
impulses from the influence of others, the hopes of plunder and the joy of
fighting. Thus whole nations are roused to arms. Thus the Turks repel their
enemies, the Arabs of the Soudan break the British squares, and the rising on
the Indian frontier spreads far and wide. In each case civilisation is
confronted with militant Mahommedanism. The forces of progress clash with those
of reaction. The religion of blood and war is face to face with that of peace.
Luckily the religion of peace is usually the better armed.[139][140]
AND NOW, for illustrative quotes the President. Our
President is a Muslim son and grandson of Kenyan born Muslims, a world class
and credentialed historian, a lawyer, and a man of robust and unimpeachable
honesty. Here is Imam Barack Hussein Obama:

AND NOW, for more scholarly quotes from Imam Obama, see the URL.
OR, beside Imam Obama’s
insights above, a few Quranic verses that have insired many Islamo-fascists.
Qur'an 3:32—Say: Obey Allah and the Apostle; but if they turn back,
then surely Allah does not love the unbelievers.
Qur'an 48:29—Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah, and those who are
with him are severe against disbelievers, and merciful among themselves. You
see them bowing and falling down prostrate (in prayer), seeking Bounty from Allah
and (His) Good Pleasure. The mark of them (i.e. of their Faith) is on their
faces (foreheads) from the traces of (their) prostration (during prayers). This
is their description in the Taurat (Torah). But their description in the Injeel
(Gospel) is like a (sown) seed which sends forth its shoot, then makes it
strong, it then becomes thick, and it stands straight on its stem, delighting
the sowers that He may enrage the disbelievers with them. Allah has promised
those among them who believe (i.e. all those who follow Islamic Monotheism, the
religion of Prophet Muhammad SAW till the Day of Resurrection) and do righteous
good deeds, forgiveness and a mighty reward (i.e. Paradise).
Qur'an 4:24—Also (forbidden are) women already married, except those (captives and slaves) whom your right hands possess. Thus hath Allah ordained (Prohibitions) against you: Except for these, all others are lawful, provided ye seek (them in marriage) with gifts from your property—desiring chastity, not lust, seeing that ye derive benefit from them, give them their dowers (at least) as prescribed; but if, after a dower is prescribed, agree mutually (to vary it), there is no blame on you, and Allah is All-knowing, All-wise.
Qur'an 5:33—The punishment of those who wage war against Allah and His apostle and strive to make mischief in the land is only this, that they should be murdered or crucified or their hands and their feet should be cut off on opposite sides or they should be imprisoned; this shall be as a disgrace for them in this world, and in the hereafter they shall have a grievous chastisement.
Qur'an 9:5—Then, when the sacred months have passed, slay the idolaters wherever ye find them, and take them (captive), and besiege them, and prepare for them each ambush. But if they repent and establish worship and pay the poor-due, then leave their way free. Lo! Allah is Forgiving, Merciful.
Qur'an 9:29—Fight those who believe not in Allah nor the Last Day [notice it says "fight those who do not believe," not "fight people who are attacking you"], nor hold that forbidden which hath been forbidden by Allah and His Messenger, nor acknowledge the Religion of Truth, from among the People of the Book [the people of the book are Jews and Christians], until they pay the Jizyah with willing submission, and feel themselves subdued.
Qur'an 9:73—O Prophet! strive hard against the unbelievers and the hypocrites and be unyielding to them; and their abode is hell, and evil is the destination.
Qur'an 9:111—Surely Allah has bought of the believers their persons and their property for this, that they shall have the garden; they fight in Allah's way, so they slay and are slain; a promise which is binding on Him in the Taurat and the Injeel and the Quran; and who is more faithful to his covenant than Allah? Rejoice therefore in the pledge which you have made; and that is the mighty achievement.
Qur'an 47:35—Be not weary and fainthearted, crying for peace, when ye should be uppermost: for Allah is with you, and will never put you in loss for your (good) deeds.

Qur'an 47:35—Be not weary and fainthearted, crying for peace, when ye should be uppermost: for Allah is with you, and will never put you in loss for your (good) deeds.
Qur'an 2:106—Whatever communications We abrogate or cause to be
forgotten, We bring one better than it or like it. Do you not know that Allah
has power over all things?
From the 1662 Book of Common Prayer, the Collect for
Good Friday:
O
MERCIFUL God, who hast made all men, and hatest
nothing that thou hast made, nor wouldest the death of a sinner, but rather
that he should be converted and live; Have mercy upon all Jews, Turks,
Infidels, and Hereticks, and take from them all ignorance, hardness of heart,
and contempt of thy Word; and so fetch them home, blessed Lord, to thy flock,
that they may be saved among the remnant of the true Israelites, and be made
one fold under one shepherd, Jesus Christ our Lord, who liveth and reigneth
with thee and the Holy Spirit, one God, world without end. Amen.
