    "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."

    "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 proselytising 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 civilisation of modern Europe might
    fall, as fell the civilisation of ancient Rome."

   -- Winston Churchill
