George Bernard Shaw
I have always held the religion of Muhammad in high estimation because of its wonderful vitality. It is the only religion which appears to me to possess that assimilating capacity to the changing phase of existence which can make itself appeal to every age. I have studied him - the wonderful man and in my opinion far from being an anti-Christ, he must be called the Saviour of Humanity. I believe that if a man like him were to assume the dictatorship of the modern world, he would succeed in solving its problems in a way that would bring it the much needed peace and happiness: I have prophesied about the faith of Muhammad that it would be acceptable to the Europe of tomorrow as it is beginning to be acceptable to the Europe of today.

"No Stronger Retrograde Force Exists in the World." "How dreadful are the curses which Mohammedanism lays on its
votaries! Besides the fanatical frenzy, which is as dangerous in a man as hydrophobia 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 extinction of slavery until the faith of Islam has ceased to be a great power among men". Churchill.
In the event this offends you somehow you may go on to the next
question. "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 of which it had vainly struggled, the civilization of Modern
Europe might fall as fell the civilization of ancient Rome.
(The River War, First Edition, Volume II, pages 248-250).
Shaw is excellent but Churchill is great.
If this answer offends you please feel free to go to the next question.

all religous beliefs are very good for all humans if addopted in the spirit they were intended, this goes for our muslim friends as well, I do not see any reference to you shall bomb and blow up planes full of innocents in any bible or koran,
Religion has killed more people than all the great wars put into one and it's got to stop and stop quickly,
peace to all who crave it.
