In 1911, they already knew what Moslems were
The Catholic Encyclopedia, vol x, pub.1911

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.'

I have always wondered if the Koran forbids lying. As lying seems to be a badge of honor in the Arab world.

"These people are graphically suicidal. I don't see how anyone could possibly disagree and be truthful."

Well, graphically speaking,

Islamic hate in the Quran:

Qur’an 9:5 “Fight and kill the disbelievers wherever you find them, take them captive, harass them, lie in wait and ambush them using every stratagem of war.”

Bukhari:V4B52N50“The Prophet said, ‘A single endeavor of fighting in Allah’s Cause is better than the world and whatever is in it.’”

Qur’an 9:112 “The Believers fight in Allah’s Cause, they slay and are slain, kill and are killed.”

Qur’an 9:29 “Fight those who do not believe until they all surrender, paying the protective tax in submission.”

Qur’an 8:39 “Fight them until all opposition ends and all submit to Allah.”

Qur’an 8:39“So fight them until there is no more Fitnah (disbelief [non-Muslims]) and all submit to the religion of Allah alone (in the whole world).

DO NOT BELIEVE THAT THE MUSLUM RELIGION IS PEACEFUL, THAT IS HYPE. MUSLUMS WANT TO KILL US, PERIOD!
