"The militant Muslim is the person cutting the head of the infidel while the moderate Muslim holds the victims feet".stition"


MARCO POLO (WORLD TRAVELER)



"The law which their prophet Mohamed has given to Muslims is that any harm done to any one who does not accept their law and any appropriation of his goods, is no sin at all".


JOHN QUINCY ADAMS (U.S. PRESIDENT)



"THE ESSENCE OF MOHAMMED'S DOCTRINE WAS VIOLENCE AND LUST: TO EXALT THE BRUTAL OVER THE SPIRITUAL PART OF HUMAN NATURE".
PROF BERTRAND RUSSELL (PHILOSOPHER)



"Over a billion people believe in Allah without truly knowing what Allah supposedly stands for or what he really demands of them. And the minority that do understand continue to be Moslems because they have redefined their morality and ethics to fit within the teachings of Islam, which are floridly lacking in morality. They therefore redefine what is good and evil in order to fit their lives into what is preached by Islam, instead of examining Islam to see if it fits within the good life. Backwards thinking, imposed by a backward religion".
SIR WINSTON CHURCHILL (BRTISH PRIME MINISTER)



"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. 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."
SIR WINSTON CHURCHILL - The River War 1899

I studied the Quran a great deal. I came away from that study with the conviction that by and large there have been few religions in the world as deadly to men as that of Muhammad. As far as I can see, it is the principal cause of the decadence so visible today in the Muslim world and, though less absurd than the polytheism of old, its social and political tendencies are in my opinion more to be feared, and I therefore regard it as a form of decadence rather than a form of progress in relation to paganism itself."
ALEXIS DE TOCQUEVILLE (FRENCH THINKER/HISTORIAN)

"Muslims are the first victims of Islam. Many times I have observed in my travels that fanaticism comes from a small number of dangerous men who maintain others in the practice of this religion by terror. To liberate the Muslim from his religion is the best service that one can render him".


EARNEST RENAN (FRENCH THINKER)

"The Islamic conquest of India is probably the bloodiest story in history. It is a discouraging tale, for its evident moral is that civilization is a precious good, whose delicate complex of order and freedom, culture and peace, can at any moment be overthrown by barbarians invading from without or multiplying within."


WILL DURANT (U.S. HISTORIAN)

"The Muslim conquests, down to the 16th century, were for the Hindus a pure struggle of life and death. Entire cities were burnt down and the populations massacred, with hundreds of thousands killed in every campaign, and similar numbers deported as slaves. Every new invader made (often literally) his hills of Hindus skulls. As a contribution to research on the quantity of the Islamic crimes against humanity, we may mention that the Indian (subcontinent) population decreased by 80 million between 1000 (conquest of Afghanistan) and 1525 (end of Delhi Sultanat)"
KONRERAAD ELST (BELGIAN HISTORIAN)

"Show me just what Prophet Muhammad brought that was new, and there you will find things only evil and inhuman, such as his command to spread by the sword the faith he preached."
POPE BENEDICT/BYZANTINE EMPEROR PALEOGUS

"Islamic societies are suffocated by shackles around the human spirit and brain. Islamic theology is driven by machoism, dominance, intolerance, submission and violence to all that disagrees with Islam's principles of law":


BRIGGITE GABRIEL (WRITER)

"The most successful lecherous man who used religion for his personal gain is Prophet Mohammed. Islam is a cult with it's complete irrational belief in Allah created by Mohammed who was a liar, thief, murderer and rapist till his last breath".
DR. KHUSHWANT SINGH (PROFESSOR)

"Islam is a false and dangerous way of living".
Dr. B.R. AMBEDKAR (THE FATHER OF INDIAN CONSTITUTION)

"Consider the Koran, for example; this wretched book was sufficient to start a world-religion, to satisfy the metaphysical need of countless millions for twelve hundred years, to become the basis of their morality and of a remarkable contempt for death, and also to inspire them to bloody wars and the most extensive conquests. In this book we find the saddest and poorest form of theism. Much may be lost in translation, but I have not been able to discover in it one single idea of value."
ARTHUR SCHOPENAUER (GERMAN PHILOSOPHER)

"It is a misfortune to human nature, when religion is given by a conqueror. The Mahometan religion, which speaks only by the sword, acts still upon men with that destructive spirit with which it was founded."
CHARLES-LOUIS de SECONDAT, BARON de LA BREDE et de MONTESQUIEU (FRENCH SOCIAL COMMENTATOR)

"On the other hand, those who founded sects committed to erroneous doctrines proceeded in a way that is opposite to this, The point is clear in the case of Muhammad. He seduced the people by promises of carnal pleasure to which the concupiscence of the flesh goads us. His teaching also contained precepts that were in conformity with his promises, and he gave free rein to carnal pleasure. In all this, as is not unexpected, he was obeyed by carnal men. As for proofs of the truth of his doctrine, he brought forward only such as could be grasped by the natural ability of anyone with a very modest wisdom. Indeed, the truths that he taught he mingled with many fables and with doctrines of the greatest falsity. He did not bring forth any signs produced in a supernatural way, which alone fittingly gives witness to divine inspiration; for a visible action that can be only divine reveals an invisibly inspired teacher of truth. On the contrary, Muhammad said that he was sent in the power of his arms-which are signs not lacking even to robbers and tyrants. What is more, no wise men, men trained in things divine and human, believed in him from the beginning, Those who believed in him were brutal men and desert wanderers, utterly ignorant of all divine teaching, through whose numbers Muhammad forced others to become his followers by the violence of his arms. Nor do divine pronouncements on the part of preceding prophets offer him any witness. On the contrary, he perverts almost all the testimonies of the Old and New Testaments by making them into fabrications of his own, as can be. seen by anyone who examines his law. It was, therefore, a shrewd decision on his part to forbid his followers to read the Old and New Testaments, lest these books convict him of falsity. It is thus clear that those who place any faith in his words believe foolishly."
SAINT THOMAS AQUNIAS (CATHOLIC THEOLOGIAN)

Nice try. LOL I did not make these quotes up.

Some of those quotes were made hundreds and hundreds of years ago, and they still seem to be prescient in this day and age, don't you think?
 
Given how deep your head is buried in the sand......

......you'll never accept anything negative about Islam as prescient.

Now, if it portrayed Islam in a positive light then you'd reconsider.
 
Re: no

Boy, qazplm, even from you this is a very poor response. What, pray tell, from these quotes is not prescient in this day and age?

And your intent of this post was . . . ?

Regardless of who said them, your post has an obvious agenda.
 
none of it?

zero? nada? zilch? Zoozooroni?

And trust me, the day I make a response you don't think is very poor is the day I check into the nuthouse because I've gone crazy.
 
My "agenda" was none other than to watch the lefties fall all over themselves trying to deny the validity of the comments made by some of the world's great thinkers on the topic of Islam.

As I would have predicted ahead of time, qazplm denied that the quotes were prescient in this day and age, and yet offered not one point to back his "argument". As he often does, he argues for the sake of argument.

Maybe he is a "closet Muslim" just like his political messiah. LOL
 
Really? Come on, a Byzantine emperor didn't like Islam? No shit!

Churchill? A great thinker? Tell us his great thoughts durning the July crisis or while planning Gallipoli or maybe championing hard currency...

Will Durant takes issue with a religion, shocking...

Nice selection of quotes, and might be interesting conversation starters but are you really going to play coy and act like you had no agenda? I mean other than humiliating "leftist's" or something like that

I assume that you are aware that Churchill was the first person to gas the Kurds, right? (probably not)

Does that change your stance in any way?
 
Re: "Famous" Quotes about Christianity




"Christianity is the most ridiculous, the most absurd
and bloody religion that has ever infected the world."


Voltaire


"I consider
Christian theology to be one of the greatest disasters of the human race."


Alfred North Whitehead


"We have become
so accustomed to the religious lie that surrounds us that we do not notice the
atrocity, stupidity and cruelty with which the teaching of the Christian church
is permeated."


Leo Tolstoy


"I call
Christianity the one great curse, the one great intrinsic depravity, and the
one great instinct of revenge, for which no means are venomous enough, or
secret, subterranean and small enough - I call it the one immortal blemish on
the human race."


Friedrich Nietzsche


"Of all the
systems of religion that ever were invented, there is none more derogatory to
the Almighty, more unedifying to man, more repugnant to reason, and more
contradictory in itself than this thing called Christianity. Too absurd for
belief, too impossible to convince, and too inconsistent for practice, it
renders the heart torpid or produces only atheists or fanatics. As an engine of
power, it serves the purpose of despotism, and as a means of wealth, the
avarice of priests, but so far as respects the good of man in general it leads
to nothing here or hereafter."


Thomas Paine


"Christianity
persecuted, tortured, and burned. Like a hound it tracked the very scent of
heresy. It kindled wars, and nursed furious hatreds and ambitions... Man, far
from being freed from his natural passions, was plunged into artificial ones
quite as violent and much more disappointing."


George Santayana


"The careful
student of history will discover that Christianity has been of very little
value in advancing civilization, but has done a great deal toward retarding
it."


Matilda Joslyn Gage


"You find as you
look around the world that every single bit of progress in humane feeling,
every improvement in the criminal law, every step toward the diminution of war,
every step toward better treatment of the colored races, or every mitigation of
slavery, every moral progress that there has been in the world, has been
consistently opposed by the organized churches of the world. I say quite
deliberately that the Christian religion, as organized in its churches, has
been and still is the principal enemy of moral progress in the world."


Bertrand Russell


"When the
churches literally ruled society, the human drama encompassed:

(a) slavery

(b) the cruel
subjection of women

(c) the most
savage forms of legal punishment

(d) the absurd
belief that kings ruled by divine right

(e) the daily
imposition of physical abuse

(f) cold
heartlessness for the sufferings of the poor

(g) as well as
assorted pogroms ('ethnic cleansing' wars) between rival religions, capital
punishment for literally hundreds of offences, and countless other daily
imposed moral outrages. . . . t was the free-thinking, challenging work by
people of conscience, who almost invariably had to defy the religious and
political status quo of their times, that brought us out of such darkness"


Steve Allen


"There was a
time when I believed in the story and the scheme of salvation, so far as I
could understand it, just as I believed there was a Devil... Suddenly the light
broke through to me and I knew this God was a lie... For indeed it is a silly
story, and each generation nowadays swallows it with greater difficulty... Why
do people go on pretending about this Christianity?"


H. G. Wells


"I can truly
say, after an experience of seventy years, that all the cares and anxieties,
the trials and disappointments of my whole life, are light, when balanced with
my sufferings in childhood and youth from the theological dogmas which I
sincerely believed. . . . The memory of my own suffering has prevented me from
ever shadowing one young soul with the superstitions of the Christian
religion."


Elizabeth Cady Stanton


"Religion is not
the hero of the day, but the zero. In any exposition of the products of brains,
the Sunday-School takes the booby prize. . . . Man has asked for truth and the
Church has given him miracles. He has asked for knowledge, and the Church has
given him theology. He has asked for facts, and the Church has given him the
Bible. This foolishness should stop. The Church has nothing to give man that
has not been in cold storage for two thousand years. Anything would become
stale in that time."


Marilla M. Ricker




"I have recently been examining all the known
superstitions of the world, and do not find in our particular superstition
[Christianity] one redeeming feature. They are all alike, founded upon fables
and mythologies."



Thomas Jefferson





"If a man would follow, today, the teachings of the Old
Testament, he would be a criminal. If he would follow strictly the teachings of
the New, he would be insane."



Robert Ingersoll





"The God of the Bible is a moral monstrosity."



Rev. Henry Ward Beecher

Re: "Famous" Quotes about Christianity

I'm going to guess, SDBoiler won't find these "prescient."

And for the record, I find these statements as hyperbolic as the ones SDBoiler put out.

Religion is a concept. Concepts don't do anything. People take concepts and use them to justify whatever they want to do, good or bad.
 
Yes...the humiliation is...powerful? Wait, no that's not the right word?
Non-existent, yeah there ya go.
 
Re: "Famous" Quotes about Christianity


Christianity teaches to "love your enemies", "love your neighbor as yourself", and "do unto others as you would have them do unto you". Islam teaches to "kill the infidel wherever you find him" and it is ok to lie to or deceive infidels (taqqiya) as long as it furthers your own cause.

You can't even acknowledge the fundamental differences in these "concepts"? It's as if you can't comprehend that all religions are not fundamentally and foundationally the same.
 
Re: "Famous" Quotes about Christianity

Religion is a concept. Concepts don't do anything. People take concepts and use them to justify whatever they want to do, good or bad.

Funny how the "concept" of Islam leads people to commit far more violence, murder, and oppression than other "concepts". Other than maybe the various forms of socialism which you support more than most Americans.
 
Re: "Famous" Quotes about Christianity

Right ain't nothing in the OT that advocates killing at all, or slavery either, right?

You realize the Bible isn't just the NT right?
 
yeah

I hear the murder rate at Cal-Berkley is through the roof.
 
Re: "Famous" Quotes about Christianity

One of the basic tenets of Christianity is that believers are now beholden to the Gospel, while in the OT the Jews were beholden to the OT law. Jesus is the fulfillment of the OT prophesies about the Messiah. Yes, Christians follow the 10 Commandments, but they are not beholden to the strict OT rules, such as Kosher food, not eating on the Sabbath, etc., etc.

The NT contains the guidance that replaced the OT law.
 
Go ahead

Name the eternal commandments in the Bible that call for Christians to kill non-Christians.
 
Re: Go ahead

Here is some good stuff about Islam. I wasn't previously aware that most of the hell-dwellers were women. I guess that's what happens if they get PMS and become too bitchy.
