Those daffy Protestants! They let millions of Muslims in and then get uncomfortable when they try to take over. What did they think they were going to do? Separation of church and state are foreign concepts to Muslims. Freedom of religion means replacing us. Bets are on to see which European country will be the first Caliphate. G.K. Chesterton on Islam “Christendom might quite reasonably have been alarmed if it had not been attacked. But as a matter of history it had been attacked. The Crusader would have been quite justified in suspecting the Moslem even if the Moslem had merely been a new stranger; but as a matter of history he was already an old enemy. The critic of the Crusade talks as if it had sought out some inoffensive tribe or temple in the interior of Tibet, which was never discovered until it was invaded. They seem entirely to forget that long before the Crusaders had dreamed of riding to Jerusalem, the Moslems had almost ridden into Paris.” Winston Churchill on Islam "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. 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." Obama on Islam "Islam has always been part of America" "And I consider it part of my responsibility as president of the United States to fight against negative stereotypes of Islam wherever they appear." Obama embraced Islam, and not because he loves Islam, he hates Christianity. Barack on Christianity "Whatever we once were, we are no longer a Christian nation" "We do not consider ourselves a Christian nation."

France: 14-year-old Muslim swears on the Qur’an that he will kill teacher DEC 23, 2023 9:00 AM BY ROBERT SPENCER 5 COMMENTS The prosecutor denies that this threat was made. Its source, however, is the police. Which is more likely? That the police would fabricate this threat, or that officials would take pains to deny it despite its being true? “His teacher wants to confiscate his cell phone: the 14-year-old schoolboy threatens and attacks two teachers,” translated from “Son professeur veut lui confisquer son téléphone portable : le collégien de 14 ans menace et agresse deux enseignants,” AFP, December 21, 2023 (thanks to Medforth): A 14-year-old schoolboy was arrested this Tuesday, December 19, 2023 in Maine-et-Loire, in Cholet, for violence and outrages committed against two teachers. His math teacher tried to confiscate his phone during class. The teenager, “described as causing difficulties,” had initially refused to give his phone to his mathematics teacher, who had caught him handling it, explains the Angers public prosecutor Eric Bouillard in a press release. After passing through the office of the director of Clémenceau school, the student tried to return to class to collect his belongings, “to which the teacher, assisted by another teacher and administrative staff, tried to oppose,” continues the magistrate. “The minor was belted and in the scene, pushed a teacher, kicked him and tried to deliver other blows,” explains the prosecutor. “Contrary to what may have been indicated, no death threat was reported by the victims,” underlines Mr. Bouillard. “Similarly, no religious references were made.” According to a police source cited by TF1, the teenager threatened to kill the teacher by swearing on the Qur’an, which the prosecutor denies. The schoolboy, already excluded from two establishments, was to appear shortly before a disciplinary council. Released, he will be summoned before a children’s judge for contempt of persons entrusted with a public service mission and violence in a school establishment, indicates the prosecutor.
