A former President and a future Prime Minister tell the truth about Muhammedism
12-5-2015 | John Quincy Adams / Winston Churchill

Posted on 12/05/2015 6:33:25 PM PST by EternalVigilance

"In the seventh century of the Christian era, a wandering Arab of the lineage of Hagar, the Egyptian, combining the powers of transcendent genius, with the preternatural energy of a fanatic, and the fraudulent spirit of an impostor, proclaimed himself as a messenger from Heaven, and spread desolation and delusion over an extensive portion of the earth. Adopting from the sublime conception of the Mosaic law, the doctrine of one omnipotent God; he connected indissolubly with it, the audacious falsehood, that he was himself his prophet and apostle. Adopting from the new Revelation of Jesus, the faith and hope of immortal life, and of future retribution, he humbled it to the dust, by adapting all the rewards and sanctions of his religion to the gratification of the sexual passion. He poisoned the sources of human felicity at the fountain, by degrading the condition of the female sex, and the allowance of polygamy; and he declared undistinguishing and exterminating war, as a part of his religion, against all the rest of mankind. THE ESSENCE OF HIS DOCTRINE WAS VIOLENCE AND LUST: TO EXALT THE BRUTAL OVER THE SPIRITUAL PART OF HUMAN NATURE.

Between these two religions, thus contrasted in their characters, a war of twelve hundred years has already raged. That war is yet flagrant; nor can it cease but by the extinction of that imposture, which has been permitted by Providence to prolong the degeneracy of man. While the merciless and dissolute dogmas of the false prophet shall furnish motives to human action, there can never be peace upon earth, and good will towards men. The hand of Ishmael will be against every man, and every man's hand against him. It is, indeed, amongst the mysterious dealings of God, that this delusion should have been suffered for so many ages, and during so many generations of human kind, to prevail over the doctrines of the meek and peaceful and benevolent Jesus."

-- John Quincy Adams (Blunt, 1830, 29:269, capitals in orig.).

"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. Thousands become the brave and loyal soldiers of the Queen: all know how to die. But the influence of the religion paralyzes 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."

-- Winston Churchill, The River War, 1899

How little has changed in the last one hundred and eighty-five years.

Unfortunately the Shores of Tripoli have come to us.

Plenty, I’m sure.

Hence the need for this post.

The future must not belong to those who deny the true nature of Islam.

Islam has always been a religion of war, conquest and slavery, spread by the sword from the time of their prophet onward.
The closer they live to the example of their prophet and his instructions in their book, the more dangerous they are to the rest of us.
Islam has been at war with everyone else since 622 A.D.
It must remain so until there is only Islam.
Or no Islam.
Mad Mo made it so.

A current president:
The future must not belong to those who slander the prophet of Islam.

I have no doubt we have them today.

But they are relegated to obscurity because unlike the electorate of the founders, ours is 53% female.

Yeah. John Quincy Adams wrote that in 1830.

Your post spurred me to write the following and spread it around the social networks:

We once were blessed with national leaders who knew that it was wiser to fight our enemies where they live, rather than where we live. So they would send in the Marines. Now the America-hating dolts in charge have allowed us to be invaded and have consequently brought the Halls of Montezuma and the Shores of Tripoli home to our halls and our shores.

John Quincy Adams and Winston Churchill were no namby-pamby PC beta males. Mohammedism is the proper term for the cult of hate. Islam and Muslim are Arabic terms with multiple meanings - each designed to confuse us.

BTW, if Mohammedans are so devoted to their book, show me where it mentions use of rifles, RPGs and other modern weapons of war. If they are really true believers, then fight with the same weapons he did.

John Quincy Adams and Churchill had it right...and events to this day bear it out.

So, who are you going to believe? John Quincy Adams and Churchill, or Barack Obama? For me, the answer is clear. I will believe the people who proved themselves patriots, men of truth and wisdom, wholly committed to the foundational Judao-Christian ideals that have made America great and the envy of the world...and those persons DO NOT include Barack Obama.

No wonder Obama refused to have the Churchill bust in the oval office.

Yeah. I’m sure the presence of the man would have tormented this alleged president.
