Thanks for the Belloc. Any good Chesterton quotes about Islam? :-)

[texasbluebell]

I've a couple of Chesterton quotes handy, but not on islam -- the first one especially is very appropriate for this time, I suppose:

"These are the days when the Christian is expected to praise every creed except his own."

"There are those who hate Christianity and call their hatred an all-embracing love for all religions."

and just the last verse here:

Cervantes on his galley sets the sword back in the sheath
(Don John of Austria rides homeward with a wreath.)
And he sees across a weary land a straggling road in Spain,
Up which a lean and foolish knight for ever rides in vain,
And he smiles, but not as Sultans smile, and settles back the blade....
(But Don John of Austria rides home from the Crusade.)
