Winston Churchill’s Brutal Takedown of Islam Resonates Today More Than ever

After the horrific terrorist attacks on America on 9/11/2001, the British government presented this nation with a special gift: a very famous bust of their great wartime leader, Winston Churchill.

It was meant to symbolize of their nation’s unyielding support for the people of the United States. President Bush, moved by the gesture, placed the bust in a position of prominence in the Oval Office.

And in his very first week as president, Obama abruptly sent it right back.

The gesture of disrespect stunned the British government and people.

But it was never clear exactly why Obama returned the item that seemed destined to remain the White House for decades to come. The fact that Churchill was one of America’s greatest allies, and a personal friend to Democrat icon FDR, puzzled observers as to why Obama so unceremoniously rejected it.

In retrospect, as we have seen 6 shocking years of Barack Obama excusing the worst excesses of Islamic radicals as mere “extremism,” and Islam as “peaceful,” while taking one opportunity after another to bash Christianity, we may well understand at last why Obama found the sculptural presence of Churchill so offensive.

You see, Churchill, decades before he became a pivotal World War II Prime Minister, wrote a scathing rebuke of Islam and Muslims in his memoir The River War, which detailed his experiences as a British Army officer against Muslim fighters in the Sudan who tried to overthrow “infidel” regimes in North Africa. He spent years in Muslim nations and got to know them very well.

Churchill’s brutal takedown of Islam resonates today more than ever before.

He 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
(rabies)
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 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.

Wow! Powerful stuff indeed. And just as true in 2015 as it was in 1899, when he wrote it. And just as true as when America’s Founding Fathers like Thomas Jefferson, John Adams and John Quincy Adams denounced Islam.

But for a man named Barack Obama who saidthe future must not belong to slander the prophet of Islam,” it’s easy to see how he would not exactly be a fan of the great Winston Churchill.

Obamao has been looking like a closet Muslim, and often acting like one, since

before he was president.

 

Naturally, a lot of the black entitlement subculture voted for him for the free stuff,

as did too many college students who thrived emotionally on his drivel.

 

Then, the truth hits, and easily emotionally manipulated libs like Shep bailed and went and hid.

 

Same old.

 

Yeah, returning that bust was inexcusable. I guess he and moochelle were angry that the bust was black., too.

I was thinking back when Oboofus's gave the Queen of England an IPOD of all things...

 

 

(that maybe somehow they contained pics of the cute first family in all their narcissistic glory? )

 

 

when you went to buy a new wallet at a department store, they usually had photos of some

 

person or couple in the sleeves .... can you imagine years ago, the height of the Barry and mickies self obsession

 

as they were seen (while on a date ) - exchanging those photos with some of their own? haha

Does any of these "news" sights take 5 mins to look into what happened? Or do they even care?

 

"The Winston Churchill bust in question was originally provided in July 2001 by then Prime Minister Tony Blair as a loan to President George W. Bush. The bust, now almost 70 years old, was made by English sculptor Sir Jacob Epstein, and Bush said he would keep it in the Oval Office. Various news reports at the time said the bust will be returned once Bush left office.

The White House residence, meanwhile, has another bust of Churchill, also sculpted by Epstein, which was given to President Lyndon B. Johnson on Oct. 6, 1965, (Here’s Lady Bird Johnson’s diary entry about the gift, which was facilitated by Churchill’s wartime friends, including Averell Harriman.)"

 

"To sum up, the Churchill bust loaned to Bush was returned, but a virtually similar bust by the same artist resides in White House residence. There is no evidence that Obama personally decided to return the bust;"

Right, no evidence Obama returned it.

Apparently the British must have asked Obama for the statue back. Riiiight....the story is that most likely Obama had known that it was a loaned gift and initiated the return.

 

This president loathed American and British colonialism. Don't forget, it is because of the US and Britain that third world countries even exist.!!!

It was this president that snubbed the funeral of former British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher.

It was this president that sat in a "church" listening to it's preacher spew anti- American rhetoric.

 

Obama's anti-British views may go back to his childhood.

 

 

Obama's Deadly Anti-British Agenda...

...so excuse us you dim wit liberals for having VALID suspicions over the Obama and the Churchill bust.

Yes valid, unlike the accusations and lies you liberals like to throw out there and claim as fact.

So what, you assholes think Obama has to roll with two of those awful looking busts in his pad? Fuck, two is two too many. I wouldn't want one of those cunts in my residence let alone two. And if you're a decent human being and ever read anything about British Colonialism you wouldn't want any association with it either. Colonialism was intrinsically an evil thing do some of you not that get that? It was perfectly ok for American revolutionaries to rebuke British Colonialism but Muslims in Indonesia or the Zulu's in Africa were "animals" and "savages" for rejecting British rule. Where the fuck is the sense there?

Churchill didn't get into office until 1940.

 

That's a whole lot of years later than our Revolutionary War.

 

More rabid emotional liberal ranting.

I know he didn't get into office until 40, but what's the point of that statement? Of course it was a lot of years later than our rev war. My point was that we all find it perfectly acceptable that "we" rejected British rule. But some of us seem to not allow those same feelings from other people who also sought to reject British Colonialism. What was so hard for you there?

Is it just a coincidence that the divide in America is bigger than ever? Saul Alinsky's Rules for Radicals is smoothly clicking on all eight cylinders.

They get a ton of clicks if they can run a story, real or not, that makes old people get a rage chubby about Obama. That is why they do it.

 

Does anyone take these sites (The Blaze, Top Right News, etc) seriously? I don't see how anyone, after these sites constantly bend the facts, can treat them as a news source. I mean that would just be idiotic....

 

 

 

....... shit
