“How dreadful are the curses which Mohammedanism (Islam) lays on its votaries (devoted followers)! Besides the fanatical frenzy, which is as dangerous in a man as hydrophobia (rabies) 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. Thousands become the brave and loyal soldiers of the Queen; all know how to die; 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”.

Churchill?
Churchill- His view amused me. The Man was an outrageous racist and if you read between the lines anything below his class did not count.
I put the Churchill quote because the thought crossed my mind as to how he would deal with this situation.
Plenty of Brits still feel that way. I recognized the quote as it has been referenced to me by WWII vets several times in the last few years.
I love his use of language and that is my attraction to Churchill
It would be fun to hear him argue with Galloway.
It would be a treat with commentary from Spike Milligan and Peter Sellars
Ha! Or perhaps yourself.
