First, a correction on the previous post on Geneva Convention Protections: 1. Cpl Maupin was a PFC when captured, but was automatically promoted during his supposed prisoner of war status to SSgt. 2. He was apparently captured in April 2004, not October of 2004. 3. No other corrections.
Winston Churchill had some thoughts on Islam and its impact on western civilization. Remember , this was written over one hundred years ago by a man who, at the very least, was able to see where the world was going in the 1930’s and what the appeasers were insuring would happen.
I’m sure some people will only see what they want to see and pick out that which offends them and to accuse this writer of saying or doing something which is not accurate, true, or honest. Why do I bring Churchill’s thoughts on this subject at this time? Because it appears that at least some thinkers have recognized radical Islam for what it is-a danger to every man, woman and child in the world who is not, nor will convert to, Islam. Some of us even today do not believe what they are telling us they wish to do. When you stick your head in the sand, you leave our enemies with a large and juicy target! We need to wake up.
Winston Churchill on Islam – In 1899
“…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 (read Sharia, my insert) 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 civilization of mogern Europe might fall, as fell the civilization of ancient Rome.”
