Last month, police were deployed to form a ring of steel around the statue of Winston Churchill in Parliament Square, London, to protect it from the hands of an irate pro-Palestinian “mob.”
Needless to say, there is something of an irony here: although Churchill is being targeted on the hackneyed view that he was a leading member of the White Patriarchy (aka, the root of all evil) — BLM attacked this same statue for that very reason in 2020 — the British statesman did, in fact, have some insightful things to say about the religion of many of his would-be attackers.
Consider the following quote from Churchill’s 1899 book, "River War: An Historical Account of the Reconquest of the Soudan (vol.1)":
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.....

Should have been required reading for everyone in the State Dept. and the entire military officer and NCO corp in the wake of 9/11.
Thanks for posting. HOORAY Raymond Ibrahim! Churchill BUMP!
This is why 0bama removed the Churchill bust from the White House.
Individual Muslims 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.
Winston may have the last word on Europe as well
“... in Mohammedan law every woman must belong to some man as his absolute property, either as a child, a wife, or a concubine ...”
There’s something the feminists ought to sink their teeth into.
But they don’t.
“to protect it from the hands of an irate pro-Palestinian “mob”
They need to start calling actions like this Islam’s war on the free world.

Winston was smarter than the average bear. And more prescient.
WGAF about Churchill? Really!! The English have caused way more problems worldwide than they are worth.
Winston Churchill was the greatest statesman of the 20th century. Without his leadership, Great Britain might well have fallen to the Nazis.
IMO England has contributed more to Western Civilization than any other nation. (shame they’ve recently been losing their minds)
Christianity (Catholicism) practically invented modern science.

Might wanttodo a little research on how broke Churchill was. Next thing you know, he is propped up and woohlah, we have a war. England can die a slow death as far as I am concerned.
How do you feel about Zelensky?
