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). |

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 |

The Arab Muslims in Sudan have been fighting civil wars against Black Christians for decades, mostly in the south, but now in the west. One other thing: Sudan is full of oil, most of which is inaccessible because of the wars. ----== Posted via Newsfeeds.Com - Unlimited-Uncensored-Secure Usenet News==---- http://www.newsfeeds.com The #1 Newsgroup Service in the World! 120,000+ Newsgroups ----= East and West-Coast Server Farms - Total Privacy via Encryption =---- |

You have not responded to my questions enquiring about your racism implicit in your earlier "crazed white guys" statement. I understand you have now realized its silliness. The assertion that terrorism is somehow related to the West not "living within their means" is a popular cliche amongst the left, but entirely erroneous. None of the 9/11 terrorists were recruited from poor people. Moreover, none of them specified poverty as the cause of their act. For example, Mohammed Atta's father claims that his son's act (of which he remains immensely proud) is just a first shot in a long religious war. To always look for "white man's guilt" as root causes of events is misleading and disingenuous at the least. Bono and Geldof are not right at all - they are simply skillful publicity seekers. Throwing money on poor countries won't help them - this will only promote their culture of dependency and corruption and achieve an entirely opposite effect. What would help is establishing a strong legal system combined with responsible law enforcement where local business can safely take roots, and where foreign business can safely invest to. People like Bono and Geldof should demonstrate en masse against real "crazy black guys" like Mugabe, the true culprits of poverty, not against this mythical "crazy white man" supposedly responsible for all the world's ills. It is all too easy to blame responsibility on the West, closing one's eye's to the real causes - which seem too politically incorrect and uncomfortable to speak out. The West needs to make no excuses for living well - we have worked hard many long centuries to achieve our standard of living. We are always happy to help - as we indeed do. But to blame us for other countries' failures, in this case for the obvious failures of Islamic countries, is a bit too much. The root cause of economic and social failures of Islamic countries is simply Islam. Peter Newman |

For example, Mohammed Atta's father claims that his son's act (of which he remains immensely proud) is just a first shot in a long religious war. I was speaking more in the sense that we tend to exploit the locals while carting-off all their bananas. And we do have a record of genocide and slavery. If we stop buying their bananas, they will suffer even more. And we are not "carting them away". We are buying them. The point is that their corrupt governments steal the proceeds from their own people - and then put them in our banks because they can't even trust their own. Bono and Geldof are not right at all - they are simply skillful publicity seekers. Throwing money on poor countries won't help them - this will only promote their culture of dependency and corruption and achieve an entirely opposite effect. What would help is establishing a strong legal system combined with responsible law enforcement where local business can safely take roots, and where foreign business can safely invest to. Fascinating. Perhaps so. But in any case simple and logical. I am impressed that you have at least paused and thought about it. Most followers of Bono and Geldof don't use their brain - they only make agreeable noises accompanied by ape-like body movements in the general rhythm of loud repetitive noise that is made to pass for "music". Very impressive indeed. The West needs to make no excuses for living well - we have worked hard many long centuries to achieve our standard of living. We are always happy to help - as we indeed do. But to blame us for other countries' failures, in this case for the obvious failures of Islamic countries, is a bit too much. I don't think they want our help. I think they want us to go away. Yes, the Mugabes of this world certainly want us go away (so they can steal from and enslave their own people with impunity) - but they still do scream for more of our "help". The impoverished populations are desperate for us *not* to go away. But we can't help them without first throwing out their leaders, which would be kinda politically incorrect and unpopular. That's why "gentlemen" such as Mr Mugabe can continue destroying their countries with impunity. I personally recommend that you go to these impoverished places (any of your choice) and see the primary causes of poverty for yourself - not through the politically correct pre-chewed-for-your-consumption rhetorics of Mr Bono, but using your own brain and observation. Perhaps you'll then change your mind. Peter Newman |

I would like to know your own definition of "affinity", but in its original sense, "afinity for your own race" is certainly not the same as racism. Racism is hatred for other races. That's why it's hard for white people to tell black people apart. And hard for black people tell apart white people. But this has again absolutely nothing to do with racism; this is a well known and often described phenomenon which deals with the way our brain cognition processes work: Initially, we perceive only the most fundamental distinguishing features of objects (and people's faces). Gradually, when we are closely exposed to more such similar objects (or people's faces), when the fundamental distinguishing details are no longer sufficient, then we automatically add finer and finer details. As if our brain first tries to minimize the necessary amount of descriptive information attached to visual cues, only the bare minimum needed to enable us to distinguish one set of features from the other, then adds more and more as required for sufficient recognition. For example, when I first saw an Asian, many years ago, I could not determine if I was looking at a Chinese, Japanese, Vietnamese, Thai or Korean, etc. - to me all Asians were looking the same. Now I can determine this very easily, in fact easier than (for example) a Vietnamese who never left his country. And as I have made more friends amongst Asians, and some of my best friends are in fact Asian, I have of course no problems at all distinguishing their faces. Otherwise, it's a popular perception. What exactly? That Europeans are crazy and dangerous. Which European countries have you been to? I don't find them in any way more crazy and dangerous than most other peoples. Certainly very much less so than radical Islamic immigrants in their midst. If we stop buying their bananas, they will suffer even more. And we are not "carting them away". We are buying them. The point is that their corrupt governments steal the proceeds from their own people - and then put them in our banks because they can't even trust their own. Therefore, we are complicit with their opressors. Like the Al Sauds. Damned if we do (help), damned if we don't. In Afghanistand and Iraq, we certainly did. We can't do it all, and we can't do it all at once. Peter Newman |

In which particular regard(s)? Of course not. "Of course"? That's really good. In that case, how do you justify your earlier statement about "crazy white guys"? We are a significant part of nature, and we are certainly living in harmony with it, precisely within our means, perfectly sustainably. All that noble leftie talk about "unsustainability" is pure hogwash - designed by power and publicity seekers to make us feel guilty about ourselves. That sounds faith based. Firstly, it is up to those who make claims for us to be blindly believed such unsustainability, the benefits of this mysterious "harmony with nature", etc., to prove they are not faith-based. I don't make any such claims which would require a proof. The onus of proof is on the other side. Secondly, there is a lot of objective scientific evidence to show that all this fashionable alarmist talk about unsustainability is a hogwash, and the romantic notions about "harmony with nature" are not grounded in reality (and never were at any given time in the past). But I am sure you would not want to hear the truth. There are many folks who seem to loathe the society they are living in, yet enjoying all its benefits; full of a pent-up anger and inferiority complex, looking for an outlet. If you ever develop a heart problem, I suggest you to go to a witch doctor, perfectly in harmony with nature. Just avoid the "crazy white guy's" science at all cost. Take it easy and enjoy life: It is surely better than it ever was, and it is getting even better. And do something more productive than beating everyone around yourself and preaching guilt, loathing and hatred. You are living in a fantasy construct. It would have been enough to say simply "you are living in a fantasy", or "you are living in a fantasy world". But you just had to use the oh-so-fashionable (in the leftie world) word "construct", didn't you. It makes you look oh-so-smart! I guess it's OK if you are content to *look* smart instead of *be* smart. Peter Newman |

Are you a Dominionist? No, I don't see the need for a human of a sound mind to subscribe to any religion at all. (Sadly, unlike most; including yourself, it would seem.) I rely solely on reason, logic and the scientific method. You might perhaps say that I am an objectivist. Peter Newman |
