In 1911, Islam known as terrorist "religion"
(my CAPS)
'According to Sir William Muir, Marcus Dods, and some others, Mohammed was at first sincere, but later, carried away by success, he practised DECEPTION wherever it would gain his end.
According to this author, the prophet was FALSE even to the ethical traditions of the idolatrous brigands among whom he lived, and grossly violated the easy sexual morality of his own system. After this, it is hardly necessary to say that, in Zwemer's opinion, Mohammed fell very far short of the most elementary requirements of Scriptural morality.
Mohammed's religion, known among its adherents as ISLAM, CONTAINS PRACTICALLY NOTHING ORIGINAL; it is a confused combination of native Arabian heathenism, Judaism, Christianity, Sabiism (Mandoeanism), Hanifism, and Zoroastrianism.
What is really good in Mohammedan ethics is either commonplace or borrowed from some other religions, whereas what is characteristic is nearly always imperfect or WICKED.
Brotherly love is confined in Islam to Mohammedans.
Murder, manslaughter, and SUICIDE are explicitly forbidden, although blood revenge is allowed. In case of personal injury, the law of retaliation is approved.
In matters political Islam is a system of despotism at home and AGGRESSION abroad. The Prophet commanded absolute submission to the imâm. In no case was the sword to be raised against him. The rights of non-Moslem subjects are of the vaguest and most limited kind, and a RELIGIOUS WAR IS A SACRED DUTY whenever there is a chance of success against the "Infidel". Medieval and modern Mohammedan, especially Turkish, PERSECUTIONS of both Jews and Christians are perhaps the best illustration of this FANATICAL religious and political spirit.'

You mean the 1911?
The A1 was adopted in 1927.
Jeeze. You're quick. I was thinking the same thing. My buddy just ordered a Kimber .45; which he hopes his wife doesn't use on him due to the cost....
Hammer, meet Mr. Nail. BUMP!
"The model M-1911A1 was developed as a direct result of our first encounter with muslim terrorists."
And you know what? It'll be a great asset today, also. They call it 230 grains of diplomacy!
Moro Tribesmen.
Way back during the times of the Crusdes, they knew what Islam was about.
That's what I was thinking.
When did they invent the 12 gauge Moslemberg pump shotgun?
I was deeply impressed years ago and often bring to mind Will Durant’s chapters on the Moslem conquest of India from Part I, Our Oriental Heritage of his multi-volume Story of Civilization. As bookends to a cataloguing of the endless atrocities the invading Moslems perpetrated on the Hindus, he offers these two paragraphs:
“The Mohammedan Conquest of India is probably the bloodiest story in history. It is a discouraging tale, for its evident moral is that civilization is a precarious thing, whose delicate complex of order and liberty, culture and peace may at any time be overthrown by barbarians invading from without or multiplying within. The Hindus had allowed their strength to be wasted in internal division and war; they had adopted religions like Buddhism and Jainism, which unnerved them for the tasks of life; they had failed to organize their forces for the protection of their frontiers and their capitals, their wealth and their freedom, from the hordes of Scythians, Huns, Afghans, and Turks hovering about India’s boundaries and waiting for national weakness to let them in. For four hundred years (600 1000 A.D.) India invited conquest; and at last it came.”
and, after all the gory details about the introduction of the “Religion of Peace” onto the Indian subcontinent:
“This is the secret of the political history of modern India. Weakened by division, it succumbed to invaders; impoverished by invaders, it lost all power of resistance, and took refuge in supernatural consolations; it argued that both mastery and slavery were superficial delusions, and concluded that freedom of the body or the nation was hardly worth defending in so brief a life. The bitter lesson that may be drawn from this tragedy is that eternal vigilance is the price of civilization. A nation must love peace, but keep its powder dry.”
Though it is a dated gilded age travelogue, the last half of Mark Twain's "The Innocents Abroad" gives a few glimpses into Islam that probably aren't too far off the mark (no pun intended) even today.
That is another way of saying that all the terrorists in the world are locked into a common psychosis, and THIS is why I think that is so.
I am also thinking about the British Dum-Dum bullet. Knock that hard charging tribesman on his @ss.
These people are graphically suicidal. I don't see how anyone could possibly disagree and be truthful.
Tah Ninh Base Camp, 1969
Doped up VC sapper was spotted coming through wire. Put 5-6 shots from my CAR-15 into his center of visable mass, ie: navel. He staggered but kept coming.
1SG hit him once mid chest with .45. Lie down. Roll over. Play dead.
Another two were spotted. M-79 shooter got first one in chest. Bag bang... small peices of VC.
Next one was also hit mid sternum with M-79 round, but it did not detonate (too close), Didn't matter. AMF.
Love that .45!!!
