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.

"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?

He lives in California.

That almost certainly seems to be the case. At any rate he is certainly a menace
to civilization as we know it.

Then you suppose erroneously.

The ****ing English in large part created the Middle East mess. Don't
give me that tired old Churchill crap.

If you see ''civilization'' anywhere, it's a mirage.
