MADDOG69:

"Individual Moslems may show splendid qualities, but the influence of the religion
paralyzes 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 (Islam) has vainly struggled,
the civilization of modern Europe might fall, as fell the civilization of ancient Rome.” "


so true.

A true story about old "Winnie".

Daily he would take 'Papa waters'. At least that is what his family and servants called them.

Anyways he got into the habit of drinking iced water mixed with a shot of some alcohol...bourbon, vermouth etc.... during the Boer Wars in South Africa as youth. He was only about 20 at the time. Back then they felt that the alcohol would kill any germs that were in the water.

I know...a old wives tales about alcohol killing germs. But for Winnie, it stayed thru his life. I guess they could not get any Perrier water from France during the German occupation. So while the rest of the country was having tea and crumpets, Old Winnie was taking his Papa's water and thinking about how to do in old Adolph.

Family of young Winston Churchill feared he might convert to Islam, long-lost letter says....

" ...Churchill criticized Islam in his account of Sudan, “The River War.” “Individual Moslems may show splendid qualities, but the influence of the religion paralyzes the social development of those who follow it,” Churchill observed. “No stronger retrograde force exists in the world. Far from being moribund, Mohammedanism is a militant and proselytizing faith.”

...He (Churchill) regularly played polo with Muslims, reported Dockter, who’s working on forthcoming book called “Winston Churchill and the Islamic World.” And Churchill, who at times even wished he was Muslim, once claimed in 1897 he wanted to fight for the Ottoman Empire...."

Did you actually read the article. laugh It said he had no intention whatsoever of ever changing his supposed religion.... even though he was basically an atheist.

Maybe there's more than just coffee in that cup. Tequila? roll eyes

Junk journalism.
