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]”

AND NOW, for
more scholarly quotes from Imam Obama, see the URL.
OR, beside Imam Obama’s
insights above, a few Quranic verses that have insired many Islamo-fascists.
Qur'an 3:32—Say: Obey Allah and the Apostle; but if they turn back, then
surely Allah does not love the unbelievers.
Qur'an 48:29—Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah, and those who are with him
are severe against disbelievers, and merciful among themselves. You see them
bowing and falling down prostrate (in prayer), seeking Bounty from Allah and
(His) Good Pleasure. The mark of them (i.e. of their Faith) is on their faces
(foreheads) from the traces of (their) prostration (during prayers). This is
their description in the Taurat (Torah). But their description in the Injeel
(Gospel) is like a (sown) seed which sends forth its shoot, then makes it
strong, it then becomes thick, and it stands straight on its stem, delighting
the sowers that He may enrage the disbelievers with them. Allah has promised
those among them who believe (i.e. all those who follow Islamic Monotheism, the
religion of Prophet Muhammad SAW till the Day of Resurrection) and do righteous
good deeds, forgiveness and a mighty reward (i.e. Paradise).
Qur'an 4:24—Also (forbidden are) women already married, except those (captives and slaves) whom your right hands possess. Thus hath Allah ordained (Prohibitions) against you: Except for these, all others are lawful, provided ye seek (them in marriage) with gifts from your property—desiring chastity, not lust, seeing that ye derive benefit from them, give them their dowers (at least) as prescribed; but if, after a dower is prescribed, agree mutually (to vary it), there is no blame on you, and Allah is All-knowing, All-wise.
Qur'an 5:33—The punishment of those who wage war against Allah and His apostle and strive to make mischief in the land is only this, that they should be murdered or crucified or their hands and their feet should be cut off on opposite sides or they should be imprisoned; this shall be as a disgrace for them in this world, and in the hereafter they shall have a grievous chastisement.
Qur'an 9:5—Then, when the sacred months have passed, slay the idolaters wherever ye find them, and take them (captive), and besiege them, and prepare for them each ambush. But if they repent and establish worship and pay the poor-due, then leave their way free. Lo! Allah is Forgiving, Merciful.
Qur'an 9:29—Fight those who believe not in Allah nor the Last Day [notice it says "fight those who do not believe," not "fight people who are attacking you"], nor hold that forbidden which hath been forbidden by Allah and His Messenger, nor acknowledge the Religion of Truth, from among the People of the Book [the people of the book are Jews and Christians], until they pay the Jizyah with willing submission, and feel themselves subdued.
Qur'an 9:73—O Prophet! strive hard against the unbelievers and the hypocrites and be unyielding to them; and their abode is hell, and evil is the destination.
Qur'an 9:111—Surely Allah has bought of the believers their persons and their property for this, that they shall have the garden; they fight in Allah's way, so they slay and are slain; a promise which is binding on Him in the Taurat and the Injeel and the Quran; and who is more faithful to his covenant than Allah? Rejoice therefore in the pledge which you have made; and that is the mighty achievement.
Qur'an 47:35—Be not weary and fainthearted, crying for peace, when ye should be uppermost: for Allah is with you, and will never put you in loss for your (good) deeds.

Qur'an 47:35—Be not weary and fainthearted, crying for peace, when ye should be uppermost: for Allah is with you, and will never put you in loss for your (good) deeds.
Qur'an 2:106—Whatever communications We abrogate or cause to be forgotten, We
bring one better than it or like it. Do you not know that Allah has power over
all things?
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.
