Everybody knows you can’t have a bust of Winston Churchill and an Islamic prayer rug in the same room!

A quote from an 1899 book by Winston Churchill, "The River War", in which he describes Muslims he apparently observed during Kitchener's campaign in the Sudan

“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. Thousands become the brave and loyal soldiers of the Queen; all know how to die; 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. “

That barbarous legacy and fatalist habit infests unformly the scions of Andalus, IOW, every Latin American country on Earth.

I bet Churchill is turning over in his grave seeing what muslims have done to Great Britain (and America).

Wow! What an amazing insight - as relevant today as the time it was uttered.

No wounder why ObaMao wanted Churchill's bust removed from the Oval Office - Churchill's insight was burning a hole in ObaMao's "Mohammedan" head.

Well put, I’ve copied and pasted that into my collection of excellent quotes.
