THIS WAS WRITTEN IN 1899
Sir Winston Churchill 1899
This is amazing. Even more amazing is that this hasn't been published long
before now.
CHURCHILL ON ISLAM
Unbelievable, but the speech below was written in 1899... (check Wikipedia -
The River War).
The attached short speech from Winston Churchill, was delivered by him in
1899 when he was a young soldier and journalist. It probably sets out the
current views of many, but expresses in the wonderful Churchillian turn of
phrase and use of the English language, of which he was a past master. Sir
Winston Churchill was, without doubt, one of the greatest men of the late
19th and 20th centuries.
He was a brave young soldier, a brilliant journalist, an extraordinary
politician and statesman, a great war leader and British Prime Minister, to
whom the Western world must be forever in his debt. He was a prophet in his
own time. He died on 24th January 1965, at the grand old age of 90 and,
after a lifetime of service to his country, was accorded a State funeral.
HERE IS THE SPEECH:
"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 Muslims 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 civilization of modern
Europe might fall, as fell the civilization of ancient Rome ."
Sir Winston Churchill; (Source: The River War, first edition, Vol II, pages
248-250 London).
Churchill saw it coming......
