Here’s one quote.
Alexis de Tocqueville
Alexis-Charles-Henri Clérel de Tocqueville (1805 – 1859) was a French
political thinker and historian best known for his Democracy in America and The
Old Regime and the Revolution.
“I studied the Quran a great deal. I came away from that study with the
conviction that by and large there have been few religions in the world as
deadly to men as that of Muhammad. As far as I can see, it is the principal
cause of the decadence so visible today in the Muslim world and, though less
absurd than the polytheism of old, its social and political tendencies are in
my opinion more to be feared, and I therefore regard it as a form of decadence
rather than a form of progress in relation to paganism itself.[8]
“Muhammad professed to derive from Heaven, and he
has inserted in the Koran, not only a body of religious doctrines, but
political maxims, civil and criminal laws, and theories of science. The gospel,
on the contrary, only speaks of the general relations of men to God and to each
other - beyond which it inculcates and imposes no point of faith. This alone,
besides a thousand other reasons, would suffice to prove that the former of
these religions will never long predominate in a cultivated and democratic age,
whilst the latter is destined to retain its sway at these as at all other
periods.[9]
