Ce qu'a dit Winston Churchil sur l'islam (en anglais)

WINSTON CHURCHILL ON ISLAM – SPEECH IN 1899

“How dreadful are the curses which Mohammedanism lays on its votaries (followers).

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 Moslems 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, first edition, Vol. II, pages 248-50)

Ce texte illustre parfaitement comment les idees "d'aujourd'hui" datent en verite "d'hier" , que ce n'est pas a cause de Ben Laden ou autre que cette mauvaise image sur l'Islam est la, mais plutot d'un constat sur le terrain que les occidenteaux, de la simple personne au chef d'etat, n'hesitent pas a colle a l'islam.
Oui ,les pays musulmans ete devenu (et le sont toujours pour la plupart) des havres d'injustice et de corruption.
Mais cet etat de fait a ete juste instrumentalise contre l'Islam comme religion, comme a dit Ibnou Taymia " l'islam est une preuve (Houjja en arabe)contre les musulmans, jamais le contraire".
