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 final extinction of slavery until the faith of Islam has ceased to be a great power among men. Individual Muslims may show splendid qualities, but the influence of the religion paralyses 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 had vainly struggled, the civilization of modern Europe might fall, as fell the civilization of ancient Rome.
Sir Winston Churchill, The River War
A British politician was arrested about a year ago for reading precisely this prophetic and diagnostic passage in the public square. He was charged with incitement of racial/religious hatred. Islam does indeed disintegrate civilizations when it overtakes them. It knows only how to spend cultural capital, not how to perpetuate it--certainly a creative culture is inconceivable within the Koranic interpretation of life. The celebrants of "Islamic Golden Ages" fail to apprehend the causes of such periods: they only occur when Muslims vanquish superior civilizations and ride their cultural momentum for a few generations, until virtually the entire population converts to Islam and their vitality is sapped. This is the main reason Europe is more endangered than America. The conversionary, goal-oriented weight of Muslim numbers poses a much more precipitous threat than America's Mestizos do--since, like the blacks, they lack the capacity for group autonomy and predictably suffer themselves to become mere puppets of the Left.
