WINSTON CHURCHILL ON ISLAM - IN 1899!
"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."
No less true a century later.
Where’s the link?
Some things never change.
“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.”
Lax immigration policies and political correctness over the past generation have removed that defense.
Your link doesn’t work.
“Wheres the link?”
May not be readily available, but there is a book reference that could be checked by anyone who has a copy:

He was right then and he’s right now. But the Muzzies have won.
I read on FR that a new history book for use in British schools was published last year - and Churchill does not even appear in it. He’s been written out of history because he was so un-PC, and probably because the Brits feared the mere mention of him would inflame their Muslim residents.
WHO IS THIS INFIDEL CHURCHILL? WHEN I FIND HIM, I WILL CUT HIS THROAT!
Are you memory impared? Did you forget that all threads are supposed to have a URL linking to the source in the thread heading. There's actually a place for it in the Free Republic thread posting page.
Disclaimer: link given with a good sense of humor, and assumes one in you. :)
churchill knew and said what the lib/dem weenies are too scared to say.......
The five pillars of Islam..... murder, bestiality, terrorism, cowardice and abuse of women and children.
Know islam, no peace; No islam, know peace!
If the Arabs put down their guns, there would be no more violence. If the Israelis put down their guns, there would be no more Israel.
The Pope was correct in his quote....”Show me just what Mohammed brought that was new, and there you will find things only evil and inhuman, such as his command to spread by the sword the faith he preached.” -Manuel II Paleologus
If anyone in Britain wrote that today, they’d likely be called before some hate speech tribunal and either fined or jailed.
Enoch Powell’s 1968 speech never even addressed Islam’s qualities (or lack thereof). He merely noted that multicultural societies tend to balkanize and turn internally violent. That alone was enough to ruin his career.
Just imagine the firestorm if a prominent person today were to write something like this.
I’ve posted close to 600 threads and am very familiar with how to use Google. I often do quite a bit of searching before posting threads and post excerpts and links to the best and most relevant web pages I have found in the first thread comment.
I wonder if Khartoum or The Four Feathers are even aired on the BBC? How about the The Beatles HELP!? John Lennon calls them “filthy eastern people with their filthy eastern ways.
Even WITH a link, I usually try to validate things I’m interested in.
It is not unknown or even unusual for things to get posted without a link.
Maybe you should switch to decaf.
Joke, dude, joke.
I read your well-informed posts all the time.
