“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 civilization of modern Europe might fall, as fell the civilization of ancient Rome.”
— Sir Winston Churchill (The River War, first edition, Vol. II, pages 248-50 [London: Longmans, Green & Co., 1899]).
It’s hard to believe that people like this are allowed in the U.S. military.
The spin is that Obama will blame George Bush for driving this guy to go crazy! Hasan is a George Bush victim
The Army brass screwed this up. No senior officer wants to be accused of prejudice against a Muslim. If this guy had been a non-Muslim, the Army would have kicked his sorry ass out long ago. When it comes to Muslims and women in the military, no senior officer is going to say anything that will lose his chance for a star or two. Everything is CYA in the military these days. The result of PC is a bunch of dead soldiers in Fort Hood.
