André Servier
André Servier was an historian who lived in French Algeria at the beginning of the 20th century.
“Islam was not a torch, as has been claimed, but an extinguisher. Conceived
in a barbarous brain for the use of a barbarous people, it was - and it remains
- incapable of adapting itself to civilization. Wherever it has dominated, it
has broken the impulse towards progress and checked the evolution of society.[10]
“Islam is Christianity adapted to Arab mentality,
or, more exactly, it is all that the unimaginative brain of a Bedouin,
obstinately faithful to ancestral practices, has been able to assimilate of the
Christian doctrines. Lacking the gift of imagination, the Bedouin copies, and
in copying he distorts the original. Thus Musulman law is only the Roman Code
revised and corrected by Arabs; in the same way Musulman science is nothing but
Greek science interpreted by the Arab brain; and again, Musulman architecture
is merely a distorted imitation of the Byzantine style.[10]
“The deadening influence of Islam is well
demonstrated by the way in which the Musulman comports himself at different
stages of his life. In his early childhood, when the religion has not as yet
impregnated his brain, he shows a very lively intelligence and remarkably open
mind, accessible to ideas of every kind; but, in proportion as he grows up, and
as, through the system of his education, Islam lays hold of him and envelops
him, his brain seems to shut up, his judgment to become atrophied, and his
intelligence to be stricken by paralysis and irremediable degeneration.[10]
“Islam is by no means a negligible element in the destiny of humanity. The
mass of three hundred million believers is growing daily, because in most
Musulman countries the birth-rate exceeds the death-rate, and also because the
religious propaganda is constantly gaining new adherents among tribes still in
a state of barbarism.[10]
“To sum up: the Arab has borrowed everything from
other nations, literature, art, science, and even his religious ideas. He has
passed it all through the sieve of his own narrow mind, and being incapable of
rising to high philosophic conceptions, he has distorted, mutilated and desiccated
everything. This destructive influence explains the decadence of Musulman
nations and their powerlessness to break away from barbarism…[10]
“Islam is a doctrine of death, inasmuch as the
spiritual not being separated from the temporal, and every manifestation of
activity being subjected to dogmatic law, it formally forbids any change, any
evolution, any progress. It condemns all believers to live, to think, and to
act as lived, thought and acted the Musulmans of the second century of the
Hegira [8th century A.D.], when the law of Islam and its interpretation were
definitely fixed.
. . .
. . .
“In the history of the nations, Islam, a secretion
of the Arab brain, has never been an element of civilization, but on the
contrary has acted as an extinguisher upon its flickering light. Individuals
under Arab rule have only been able to contribute to the advance of civilization
in so far as they did not conform to the Musulman dogma, but they relapsed into
Arab barbarism as soon as they were obliged to make a complete submission to
these dogmas.
. . .
. . .
“Islamized nations, who have not succeeded in
freeing themselves from Musulman tutelage, have been stricken with intellectual
paralysis and decadence. They will only escape as they succeed in withdrawing
themselves from the control of Musulman law.[10]”
