It is a religion which,
throughout its 1,400-year history, has lent itself well to fanaticism, terrorism, mass
murder, oppression and conversion by the sword. Long before the age of political
correctness and multicultural indoctrination, Winston Churchill, that keen observer,
described Islam as, "that religion which above all others, was founded and propagated by
the sword – the tenets and principles of which are … incentives to slaughter and which in
three continents had produced fighting breeds of men (and) stimulates a wild and
merciless fanaticism."
It's so obvious that it hardly bears repetition. You don't have Orthodox rabbis
hijacking airplanes in response to Jews for Jesus. Jesuits don't shoot up Baptist
seminaries to protest the Reformation. Members of the Church of Latter Day Saints don't
tell you they'll cut your throat if you don't accept the prophetship of Joseph Smith and
the authenticity of the Book of Mormon. Buddhists don't put out contracts on those who
offend them. Hindus don't call members of other religions, dogs, pigs and the sons of
apes.
