Here’s one quote Bertrand Russell.
Bertrand Russell
Bertrand Arthur William Russell (1872 – 1970) was a British philosopher, logician, mathematician, historian, socialist, pacifist, and social critic, who is considered to be one of the founders of analytic philosophy.
“Bolshevism combines the characteristics of the
French Revolution with those of the rise of Islam… Those who accept Bolshevism
become impervious to scientific evidence, and commit intellectual suicide. Even
if all the doctrines of Bolshevism were true, this would still be the case,
since no unbiased examination of them is tolerated…Among religions, Bolshevism
is to be reckoned with Mohammedanism rather than with Christianity and
Buddhism. Christianity and Buddhism are primarily personal religions, with
mystical doctrines and a love of contemplation. Mohammedanism and Bolshevism
are practical, social, unspiritual, concerned to win the empire of the world.[24]
“Rivalry is a much stronger motive. Over and over
again in Mohammedan history, dynasties have come to grief because the sons of a
sultan by different mothers could not agree, and in the resulting civil war
universal ruin resulted... The world would be a happier place than it is if
acquisitiveness were always stronger than rivalry. But in fact, a great many
men will cheerfully face impoverishment if they can thereby secure complete
ruin for their rivals.[25]
“Immediately after his death the conquests began,
and they proceeded with rapidity... Westward expansion (except in Sicily and
Southern Italy) was brought to a standstill by the defeat of the Mohammedans at
the battle of Tours in 732, just one hundred years after the death of the
Prophet... It was the duty of the faithful to conquer as much of the world as
possible for Islam... The first conquests of the Arabs began as mere raids for
plunder, and only turned into permanent occupation after experience has shown
the weakness of the enemy... The Arabs, although they conquered a great part of
the world in the name of a new religion were not a very religious race; the
motive of their conquests was plunder and wealth rather than religion.[26]
“The beliefs appropriate to the impulse of
aggression may be seen in Bernhardi, or in the early Mohammedan conquerors, or,
in full perfection, in the Book of Joshua. There is first of all a conviction
of the superior excellence of one's own group, a certainty that they are in
some sense the chosen people. This justifies the feeling that only the good and
evil of one's own group is of real importance, and that the rest of the world
is to be regarded merely as material for the triumph or salvation of the higher
race. In modern politics this attitude is embodied in imperialism.[27]”

From the 1662 Book of
Common Prayer, the Collect for Good
Friday:
O MERCIFUL God,
who hast made all men, and hatest nothing that thou hast made, nor wouldest the
death of a sinner, but rather that he should be converted and live; Have mercy
upon all Jews, Turks, Infidels, and Hereticks, and take from them all
ignorance, hardness of heart, and contempt of thy Word; and so fetch them home,
blessed Lord, to thy flock, that they may be saved among the remnant of the
true Israelites, and be made one fold under one shepherd, Jesus Christ our
Lord, who liveth and reigneth with thee and the Holy Spirit, one God, world
without end. Amen.
