Churchill on Islam

Claim: Winston Churchill wrote about the "dreadful curses of Mohammedanism" in his 1899 book The River Wars.

TRUE

Winston Churchill 1899: "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." Is this a true quote?

No world leader has been very happy with Islam. Even Jefferson was appalled by them. So why are we adopting appeasement? Appeasement has NEVER ever worked, so to say it will work now is just setting up for repeated history.

"Islam: The word, Islam, means submission, not peace. (Yes, Bush got it wrong). Allah commands believers to submit but also to compel unbelievers into submission." seems to be working.....

Islam is the "cancer" of religions. It needs to be cut out right away before it kills the whole body.

Truer words have never been written.

Most progressive world leaders prefer to pretend if we just be nice to them everything will be fine.

Here's just one progressive practice for you think about - Female Genital Mutilation. What a special way to treat women!

Allah never said any of those things. The homophobic, misogynistic prophet Mohammad did and created a cult of submission and destruction. But he didn't do it alone.

You can pretty much say that about anyone who follows an organized religion.
