Winston Churchill on Islam

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."

Winston Churchill (The River War, first edition, Vol. II, pages 248-50 (London: Longmans, Green & Co., 1899)

Wise men and leaders like Winston Churchill only appear once every 1000 years or so.

“...there is this fearless fatalistic apathy.”

It seems hundreds of millions in the civilized west possess this attribute, as if responding and acting accordingly to the threat posed by the Moslems would cause them to lose the classification of being civilized is more important than suffering the ravages brought upon them by the ‘votaries’ of Islam. If Mohammedanism is, as Chuchill stated, “...as dangerous in a man as hydrophobia in a dog,...” not only would it be a humane response, but a civilized response as well, to end the existence of the threat to civilized society. The primary goal of our government is the continuation of those who support it by providing a level of security for which they themselves cannot provide. Recognizing and dealing with threats against the society which maintains it demands of government that those threatening its population be controlled by any means necessary to ensure our survival.

Of course Mohammedanism is not the only threat to the our existence. Socialism, Marxism, Communism and Fascism rank on par with it as well as any other political ‘isms you might care to mention. The classic pose of the Minuteman with weapon held at low port offers the vision which should be presented to any threat. At times concealed carry just doesn’t effectively present the concept of determined resistance. But I digress.

Sadly, Churchill’s writings were the result of the influences brought upon him by racist white privilege. /S
