Forgive me for attaching part of the Churchill speech from 1899."Individual Moslems may show splendid qualities, but the influence of the religion paralysis 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 Islam had vainly struggled, the civilization of modern Europe might fall, as fell the civilization of ancient Rome..."
Sir Winston Churchill; (The River War, first edition, Vol. II, pages 248-50)
Now, to be fair ,this is a well reasoned speech ,must less inflammatory than Enoch Pwell's "rivers of blood" tirade. Since Churchill wrote those lines practically all of the North African continent has become dominated by Islam,even Nigeria has now a Islamic majority who have taken power and even moved the capital to a moslem dominated area.Indonesia has now become the largest Islamic dominated country in the world.Currently Turkey, which has remained defiantly secular since the days of Attaturk, is seeing attempts to curb its long standing freedoms and it's people are taking to the streets in protest.
