Same Old, Same Old

So the followers of the Prophet Mohammed are doing their best to bomb the Brits, again. [If only that lap-dog warmonger Tony Blair weren't PM, the religion of peace would be free to . . . . Oh. Never mind.]

And the Washington Post (PBUH) celebrates with two articles decrying . . . George Bush. One on the front page, no less. (A front page devoid of any news relating to Islamic murderers, by the way.)

And then there's a second story, on the front page of the B section, Why Winston Wouldn't Stand For W. You'll get the flavor from the first sentence: "President Bush's favorite role model is, famously, Jesus, but Winston Churchill is close behind." (Wow! Christ and Winny. This guy is so obviously a wack-job, see?)

The problem is that in the internet age, those who know a thing or two they didn't hear from Jon Stewart get to have their say, as well. Guess who wrote:

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 Moslems 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 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 proseltyzing 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.
