G. K. Chesterton
Gilbert Keith Chesterton (1874 – 1936) was an English writer. His prolific and diverse output included philosophy, ontology, poetry, play writing, journalism, public lecturing and debating, biography, Christian apologetics, fantasy and detective fiction.
“There
is in Islam a paradox which is perhaps a permanent menace. The great creed born
in the desert creates a kind of ecstasy of the very emptiness of its own land,
and even, one may say, out of the emptiness of its own theology... A void is
made in the heart of Islam which has to be filled up again and again by a mere
repetition of the revolution that founded it. There are no sacraments; the only
thing that can happen is a sort of apocalypse, as unique as the end of the
world; so the apocalypse can only be repeated and the world end again and
again. There are no priests; and yet this equality can only breed a multitude of
lawless prophets almost as numerous as priests. The very dogma that there is
only one Mahomet produces an endless procession of Mahomets.[59]”
