○ Churchill on Islam [cached – page has been removed]
The quote off the Internet typically incorporates one small omission, though: it elides Churchill’s praise of “Moslems” as “brave and loyal soldiers” and covers the gap by combining the remaining part of the sentence with the previous one:
“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.”
Before the gas chambers used by Nazi Germany and after the horrific effects of mustard gas in the trenches of WWI, this “great man” Winston Churchill was such a criminal for dropping gas canisters from aeroplanes on Arab soldiers in Mesopotamia …
“Churchill was particularly keen on chemical weapons, suggesting they be used ‘against recalcitrant Arabs as an experiment.’ He dismissed objections as ‘unreasonable. I am strongly in favour of using poisoned gas against uncivilised tribes _ [to] spread a lively terror _’ In today’s terms, ‘the Arab’ needed to be shocked and awed. A good gassing might well do the job.”
Need we be reminded George Bush marched (let US soldiers march) into Iraq with Churchill’s bust at his side. Btw, Obama returned to bust to the British. 😉

Wilders has a front page opinion piece on the NYT online: Let the Dutch vote on immigration policy.’ I didn’t dare read it after you reminded me of the Hirsi Ali raver in one of your posts. I’d forgotten all about her.
