That strange sound you hear beneath your feet is Churchill turning over in his grave.

The great Churchill must indeed be turning over in his grave in the quiet little churchyard at Bladon.

Here's a portion of what he had to say about islam, from The River War, 1899:

"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."

[BenLurkin]

No kidding.

He risked his life at the battle of Omdurman fighting to defeat Islamic Jihad.
