[BITList] Winston Churchill 1899.

[FS]

I know we have seen this before but it doesn't hurt to revisit some things
frank





    *Winston Churchill 1899.*

    of the religion paralyses the social development of those who follow
    it.  No stronger retrograde force exists in the world."/*

    This is amazing.  Even more amazing is that this hasn't been
    published long before now.

    *CHURCHILL ON ISLAM**
    *
    Unbelievable, but the speech below was written in 1899... (check
    Wikipedia - The River War).

    The attached short speech from Winston Churchill, was delivered by
    him in 1899 when he was a young soldier and journalist.  It probably
    sets out the current views of many, but expresses in the wonderful
    Churchillian turn of phrase and use of the English language, of
    which he was a past master. Sir Winston Churchill was, without
    doubt, one of the greatest men of the late 19th and 20th centuries.

    He was a brave young soldier, a brilliant journalist, an
    extraordinary politician and statesman, a great war leader and
    British Prime Minister, to whom the Western world must be forever in
    his debt.  He was a prophet in his own time. He died on 24th 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 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 Muslims 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; (Source: The River War, first edition, Vol
    II, pages 248-250 London*).

    *Churchill saw it coming.*
