The true Prophet?
Folks, here is an interesting (and in my view brilliant) excerpt from
a book by Sir Winston Churchill. He wrote this in 1899, when he was 25 years old. I apologise for posting this as this is not exactly related to radio, but given the existing world situation with Islam, I thought that I would share this. Peter Newman ------------------------------------------ "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." Sir Winston Churchill, from The River War, first edition, Vol. II, pages 248-50 (London: Longmans, Green & Co., 1899). |

This "crazed white guy" (as you call him) helped to save the world from the nazis. I guess you don't like that he did that, do you? I wonder where you live? And I suppose you also sympathize with the islamic terrorists? Peter Newman |

He lives in California. And I suppose you also sympathize with the islamic terrorists? That almost certainly seems to be the case. At any rate he is certainly a menace to civilization as we know it. dxAce Michigan USA http://www.iserv.net/~n8kdv/dxpage.htm |

And I suppose you also sympathize with the islamic terrorists? Peter Newman Then you suppose erroneously. In that case, explain this "another crazed white guy" reply of yours. Do I suppose correctly that perhaps you are not white and are not entirely happy about your colour? Would it be also perhaps correct to assume that you are a racist? The ****ing English in large part created the Middle East mess. Don't give me that tired old Churchill crap. The English certainly did not create Al Qaeda. And that "old tired Churchill" description of Islam is certainly more fitting than anything that any politician of today would dare to say publicly. The problem of today is Islam and its crazed Muslims - certainly not "crazed white guys". Peter Newman |
