Winston Churchill 1899. "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
This is amazing. Even more amazing is that this hasn't been published long before now.
CHURCHILL ON ISLAM
Unbelievable, but the speech below was written in 1899.(Check Wikipedia - The River War). The attached short speech
from Winston Churchill, was delivered by him in 1899 when he was a young soldier and journalist. It probably sets out
the current views of many, but expresses in the wonderful Churchillian turn of phrase and use of the English language,
of which he was a past master. Sir Winston Churchill was, without doubt, one of the greatest men of the late 19th and
20th centuries. He was a brave young soldier, a brilliant journalist, an extraordinary politician and statesman, a great
war leader and British Prime Minister, to whom the Western world must be forever in his debt.
He was a prophet in his own time. He died on 24th January 1965, at the grand old age of 90 and, after a lifetime of
service to his country, was accorded a State funeral
HERE IS THE SPEECH:
"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,
r a concubine, must delay the final extinction of slavery until the faith of Islam has ceased to be a great power among men.
Individual Muslims may show splendid qualities, but the influence of the religion paralyses the social development
of those who follow it.

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."
