I wonder if GWB agrees with Winston's take 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. 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."
- Sir Winston Churchill
I had forgotten this quote...
ping to self for further thought
Always knew I liked Churchill
Probably. But he certainly can't say so.
On a happier note, I love to listen to Churchill's inspiring, moving, and often brilliant speaches during his rise to power and throughout WWII.
It is doubtful that England will ever have another like him.
