“How dreadful are the curses which Islam 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. 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.
Far from being moribund, Islam 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 civilisation of modern Europe might fall, as fell the civilisation of ancient Rome.”
— Sir Winston Churchill, The River War, first edition, Vol. II, pages 248-50 (London: Longmans, Green & Co., 1899).

TESOL?
Good luck.
Good luck with your new position, Earl. I'm sure it will give you some interesting new perspectives.
TV presenter jailed for two years
Blake had previous convictions in the 1980s and 1990s for theft, handling stolen goods and driving while disqualified, the court heard.
Did the BBC know about all that before they hired him?

Viel Spass in Deutschland.
Here's one you simply can't pass up:

Very much like the British, we Canadians are in the clutches of a truly pathological obsession with political correctness. So I was quite surprised by and delighted with Davis' decision, which, because of the international media attention, has turned into a high-profile rejection of the Newspeak committee's central piety -- that only white men are capable of racism.
What is needed is for this kind of thing to become commonplace. An unrelenting repetition of even these small "incursions" against the taboos of political correctness will eventually break the back of the beast, just like tiny drops of water piercing through solid rock over time.
Good luck with your new job.
Enjoy the new job. Viel Spaß!
NHS 'failed' over cannibal killer
Unbelievable. Three people dead, two after this guy had alread demonstrated how dangerous he was:
July 2001 - Transferred to a hostel to prepare for life in the community after mental health tribunal agrees to his release
Looking forward to your posts about the political situation in Germany. Best regards from America
Muslim community leader arrested for 'making up BNP kidnap story'
This kind of thing is the direct result of the demonization of the BNP by the mainstream media. People start to think they can tell any sort of story or lie and it will be believed. And they are mostly right. Just not always, as in this case.
What immigration has brought: 'community leaders' like this.
Straw admits Lockerbie trade link
Trade and oil played a part in the decision to include the Lockerbie bomber in a prisoner transfer deal, Jack Straw has admitted.
Teenagers hurt in street shooting
None of the victims, who are all male and aged between 16 and 19, have life-threatening injuries, police said.
Do they have anything else in common? I mean besides being male and between 16 and 19.
The Met said officers from Operation Trident, which investigates gun crime in the black community, are leading the investigation into the incident.
It appears maybe they do...
But no one should worry too much about that, though.
Denham condemns right-wing groups
Right-wing groups who claim to oppose Islamic extremism are trying to provoke violence on Britain's streets, the communities minister has said.
It's "right-wing groups" that are the real problem in the UK. You'll just have to trust the BBC on that.
