Winston Churchill
Sir Winston Leonard Spencer-Churchill (1874 – 1965) was a British politician known chiefly for his leadership of the United Kingdom during World War II. He is widely regarded as one of the great wartime leaders, and was voted the greatest Briton of all time.[135]
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, or a concubine, must delay the final extinction of slavery until the faith of Islam has ceased to be a great power among men. Individual Moslems 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. 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 civilisation of modern Europe might fall, as fell the civilisation of ancient Rome.[136][137]

Fanaticism is not a cause of war. It is the means which
helps savage peoples to fight. It is the spirit which enables them to
combine--the great common object before which all personal or tribal disputes
become insignificant. What the horn is to the rhinoceros, what the sting is to
the wasp, the Mohammedan faith was to the Arabs of the Soudan--a faculty of
offence or defence.[138]
It is, thank heaven, difficult if not impossible for the
modern European to fully appreciate the force which fanaticism exercises among
an ignorant, warlike and Oriental population. Several generations have elapsed
since the nations of the West have drawn the sword in religious controversy,
and the evil memories of the gloomy past have soon faded in the strong, clear
light of Rationalism and human sympathy. Indeed it is evident that
Christianity, however degraded and distorted by cruelty and intolerance, must
always exert a modifying influence on men's passions, and protect them from the
more violent forms of fanatical fever, as we are protected from smallpox by
vaccination. But the Mahommedan religion increases, instead of lessening, the
fury of intolerance. It was originally propagated by the sword, and ever since,
its votaries have been subject, above the people of all other creeds, to this
form of madness. In a moment the fruits of patient toil, the prospects of
material prosperity, the fear of death itself, are flung aside. The more
emotional Pathans are powerless to resist. All rational considerations are forgotten.
Seizing their weapons, they become Ghazis--as dangerous and as sensible as mad
dogs: fit only to be treated as such. While the more generous spirits among the
tribesmen become convulsed in an ecstasy of religious bloodthirstiness, poorer
and more material souls derive additional impulses from the influence of
others, the hopes of plunder and the joy of fighting. Thus whole nations are
roused to arms. Thus the Turks repel their enemies, the Arabs of the Soudan
break the British squares, and the rising on the Indian frontier spreads far
and wide. In each case civilisation is confronted with militant Mahommedanism.
The forces of progress clash with those of reaction. The religion of blood and
war is face to face with that of peace. Luckily the religion of peace is
usually the better armed.[139][140]

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 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.
