Europe will soon go under because
of its former liberalism that has proved childish and suicidal. Europe has
produced Hitler, and after Hitler the continent stands there with no arguments:
the doors are wide open for Islam, they no longer dare talk about race and
religion while Islam only knows the language of hatred against alien races and
religions.
I should say a few words about
politics too … Then I would talk about how Muslims are flooding, occupying, in
clear verbs, destroying Europe, and how Europe relates to this, the suicidal
liberalism and the stupid democracy … It always ends the same way: civilization
reaches a certain stage of maturation where it is not only able to defend
itself, but where it is in a seemingly incomprehensible worship of their own
enemy.

During the thousand years that
included the careers of the Frankish soldier and the Polish king, the
Christians of Asia and Africa proved unable to wage successful war with the
Moslem conquerors; and in consequence Christianity practically vanished from
the two continents; and today nobody can find in them any “social values”
whatever, in the sense in which we use the words, so far as the sphere of Mohammedan
influence. There are such “social values” today in Europe, America, and
Australia only because during those thousand years the Christians of Europe
possessed the warlike power to do what the Christians of Asia and Africa had
failed to do – that is, to beat back the Moslem invader.

The Islamic conquest of India is

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.

To be blunt, their [Western]
efforts to assist Muslims and other minorities are futile because, by
postponing or at best prolonging the process of their transition to modernity —
by creating the illusion that one can hold on to tribal norms and at the same
time become a successful citizen — the proponents of multiculturalism lock
subsequent generations born in the West into a no-man’s-land of moral values.
What comes packaged in a compassionate language of acceptance is really a cruel
form of racism. And it is all the more cruel because it is expressed in sugary
words of virtue.

These future United States
presidents questioned the ambassador as to why his (Islamic) government was so
hostile to the new American republic even though America had done nothing to
provoke any such animosity. Ambassador Adja answered them, as they reported to
the Continental Congress, ‘that it was founded on the Laws of their Prophet,
that it was written in their Koran, that all nations who should not have
acknowledged their authority were sinners, that it was their right and duty to
make war upon them wherever they could be found, and to make slaves of all they
could take as Prisoners, and that every Musselman who should be slain in Battle
was sure to go to Paradise’.

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, lovenly systems of
agriculture, sluggish methods of commerce, and insecurity of property exist
wherever the followers of the Prophet rule or live.

There are many good men and women
in the West who try to resettle refugees, scold their fellow citizens for not doing
more, donate money to philanthropic organizations, and strive to eliminate
discrimination. They lobby governments to exempt minorities from the standards
of behavior of Western societies; they fight to help minorities preserve their
cultures, and thy excuse their religion from critical scrutiny. These people
mean well, I have no doubt. But I believe that their well-intentioned activism
is now a part of the very problem they seek to solve.

This is a profession of faith of
a Muslim: ‘I certify that there is no God other than Allah, of whom Mohammed is
the only prophet’, which means in effect: After and before Mohammed, there is
nobody else…’Thus the whole religion of Islam is based on negation: nobody but
us, no other religion but ours’. And if you disagree, you shall die. This puts
a serious limitation to tolerance and from this strong belief sprang all the
horrors of the Muslim invasion of India.

… 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.

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.

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.

Show me just what 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. God is not pleased
by blood – and not acting reasonably is contrary to God’s nature. Faith is born
of the soul, not the body. Whoever would lead someone to faith needs the
ability to speak well and to reason properly, without violence and threats… To
convince a reasonable soul, one does not need a strong arm, or weapons of any
kind, or any other means of threatening a person with death.

the life is gone. A rationalistic Islam would be Islam no longer.

Islamic law is death. Islam is conceived as a polity, not just as a religious

involves such a withdrawal.

The contrast between our own
faith and Islam is most remarkable. There are in our Scriptures living germs of
truth, which accord with civil and religious liberty, and will expand with
advancing civilisation. In Islam it is just the reverse. The Koran has no such
teaching as with us has abolished polygamy, slavery, and arbitrary divorce, and
has elevated woman to her proper place. As a Reformer, Mahomet did advance his
people to a certain point, but as a Prophet he left them fixed immovably at
that point for all time to come.

Nor do divine pronouncements on
the part of preceding prophets offer him [Muhammad] 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.

When Muslims first entered India, they looted the country, destroyed the
temples, broke the idols, raped the women and heaped innumerable indignities on
the people of this country. Today it appears that such noxious behavior has
entered the bone marrow of Muslims. Unity can be achieved among equals…. I am
of the view that Hindu-Muslim unity, which could not be achieved during the
last thousand years, will not materialize during the ensuing thousand years.

Indeed, the truths that he
[prophet Muhammad] 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.

A very important factor which is
making it almost impossible for Hindu-Muslim unity to become an accomplished
fact is that the Muslims cannot confine their patriotism to any one country. I

defend their common motherland, I was not satisfied with the reply I got from
them.
