Worthy Quotes on Islam, II
Introduction: This
is a repeat of quotes recently published in IslamWatch with the
addition of new quotes. I have added many worthy quotes, which valued
readers of IslamWatch have added in comments and credit goes to them.
But first, I would like to ask the
reader to join me in a good laugh. Please have a look at the picture
below. It was taken in a specific conference held in Saudi Arabia last
year. There is not a single woman in sight. And notice the title of the conference. This is Islam – one laughable religion.
Conference Title: “Women in Society”

Worthy Quotes on Islam, I
Ibn Kammuna
In this posting, I provide some worthy quotes of wise non-Muslims, and back up their worthiness with quotes of famous Muslims.
Quotes of wise infidels
1) Winston Churchill:
[Forenote: Sir Winston Churchill has
been recognized as one of the greatest men of the late nineteenth and of
the twentieth century. He was an extraordinary war leader to whom the
Western World must be forever in debt. He was a prophet in his own time
as this quotation, written well over 100 years ago, demonstrates.]
"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, 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 (Islam) has vainly struggled, the civilization
of modern Europe might fall, as fell the civilization of ancient Rome.”
[Sir Winston, as an officer of the
British Army, served in the Sudan and in the Crimean War; in both
instances against the Muslims. These experiences gave him ample
opportunity to observe the structure of Islamic society.(2) Churchill’s
quotes were taken from the volume: Sir Winston Churchill; “The River War”, first edition, II:248-250, published by Longmans, Green & Company, 1899.(3)
If Sir Winston were alive today, it is
doubtful that a person in Great Britain criticizing Islam publicly could
be arrested, and then fined or jailed, and even more doubtful that
any Muslims would be sitting in the English Parliament!]
2) James Bissett (2002), ex-Ambassador of Canada to Yugoslavia, Bulgaria, and Albania.
"It is common
knowledge that Saudi Arabia is the most extremist of the Muslim States.
It finances the infamous Madrassas (schools) that preach a litany of
hate and turn out thousands of fanatical Islamic zealots. It indirectly
provides the funding and its’ citizens provide most of the fighters for
Bin Laden’s Al-Qaeda organization. It supports, financially and by other
means, the Palestinian terrorists and other Muslim anti-Western groups
throughout the world."
3) M. J. Haipur (c. 1998):
“A religion, as a
man, must be judged by the fruits of having existed; what has Islam
given to our world, except genocide, slavery, and denigration of the
human spirit?"
4) Edourd T. Nelosni (2003):
"Islam is, to the body politic of the world, as a festering pus-filled carbuncle is to the backside of a human being."
5) Alexis de Tocqueville (c. 1790):
"I studied the Koran
a great deal. I came away from that study with the conviction that by
and large there have been few religions in the world as deadly to men as
that of Muhammad. As far as I can see, it is the principal cause of the
decadence so visible today in the Muslim world, and, though less absurd
than the polytheism of old, its social and political tendencies are in
my opinion infinitely more to be feared, and I therefore regard it as a
form of decadence rather than a form of progress in relation to paganism
itself."
6) Julie Burchill (1991) of Britain’s The Guardian newspaper, after the 9/11 terrorist attacks:
"The terrorist
attacks were a tragedy for the people who died or were injured, and for
their families and friends. For the rest of us, they were a wake-up call
as to what type of lunatics we are dealing with. And sleepwalking our
way back into ill-sorted, dewy-eyed people personal politics is the last
thing we need to set us up for the fight ahead. Come on you liberals,
don’t give me the morbid pleasure of saying, ‘I told you so’ again."
7) Catholic Encyclopedia (1908)
"In matters
political, Islam is a system of despotism at home and aggression abroad…
The rights of non-Moslem subjects are of the vaguest and most limited
kind, and a religious war is a sacred duty whenever there is a chance of
success against the "Infidel". Medieval and Modern Mohammedan,
especially Turkish, persecutions of both Jews and Christians are perhaps
the best illustration of this fanatical religious and political
spirit."
8) William Muir (c. 1903)
"The sword of
Muhammad and the Qur’an (Koran) are the most fatal enemies of
civilization, truth, and liberty which the world has yet known."
9) Franklin Graham (2002)
"Islam is an evil and wicked religion."
10) David Pryce-Jones (1997)
"Democracy sometimes
appears paralyzed by those who take advantage of its freedoms in order
to abuse them for undemocratic ends."
11) Oriana Fallaci
“The Muslims refuse
our culture and try to impose their culture on us. I reject them, and
this is not only my duty toward my culture-it is toward my values, my
principles, my civilization.”
“I am an atheist,
and if an atheist and a pope think the same things, there must be
something true. There must be some human truth that is beyond religion.”
12) C.O. Jones (2001) - after 9/11.
"Evil exists, and the worst evil of all, is that practiced in the name of religion."
13) Marco Polo (World Traveler)
“The law which their
prophet Mohamed has given to Muslims is that any harm done to anyone
who does not accept their law and any appropriation of his goods, is no
sin at all.”
14) Kamal Ataturk (Founder of Modern Turkey)
He is a weak ruler
who needs religion to uphold his government; it is as if he would catch
his people in a trap. My people are going to learn the principles of
democracy, the dictates of truth, and the teachings of science.
Superstition must go. Let them worship as they will; every man can
follow his own conscience, provided it does not interfere with sane
reason or bid him act against the liberty of his fellow-men.
15) Arthur Schopenhauer in “The World as Will and Representation”
"Consider, for
example, the Koran. This wretched book was sufficient to found a
religion of the world, to satisfy the metaphysical need of innumerable
millions of men for twelve hundred years, to become the foundation of
their morality, and of no small contempt for death, and also to inspire
them to bloody wars and most extended conquests. We find in it the
saddest and the poorest form of Theism. Much may be lost through the
translations ; but I have not been able to discover one single valuable
thought in it."
16) Konreraad Est (Belgian Historian)
“The Muslim
conquests, down to the 16th century, were for the Hindus a pure struggle
of life and death. Entire cities were burnt down and the populations
massacred, with hundreds of thousands killed in every campaign, and
similar numbers deported as slaves. Every new invader made (often
literally) his hills of Hindus skulls. As a contribution to research on
the quantity of the Islamic crimes against humanity, we may mention that
the Indian (subcontinent) population decreased by 80 million between
1000 (conquest of Afghanistan) and 1525 (end of Delhi Sultanat)” -
Quotes of famous Muslims
Louis Farrakhan (1997, in Harlem):
"A decree of death has been passed on America. The judgment of God has been rendered, and she must be destroyed."
Muammar Kaddafi (1997, after meeting with Louis Farrakhan):
"We are used to
facing the United States as a fortress from the outside. Now we are
finding a breach to penetrate the country (the U.S.) and confront it
from within."
Al-Akhbar, Egypt’s second-most influential newspaper, in 2001:
"Our thanks go to
the late Hitler, who wrought in advance the vengeance of the
Palestinians upon the most despicable villains on the face of the earth.
However, we rebuke Hitler for the fact that the vengeance was insufficient."
Mustq Aksari (2001) – Al-Badr spokesman on CNN 8 days after 9/11:
"Islam must rule the world and until Islam does rule the world we will continue to sacrifice our lives."
King Ibn Saud (1937) – King of Saudi Arabia at the time:
"Verily, the word of
Allah teaches us, and we implicitly believe it, that for a Muslim to
kill a Jew, or for him to be killed by a Jew, ensures him immediate
entry into Heaven and into the august presence of Allah."
Ayatollah Khomeini (1982):
"We are not afraid of economic sanctions or military intervention. What we are afraid of is Western universities."
Sa’id Raja’i Khorassani (1985), Iranian delegate to the UN:
“The very concept of human rights is a Judeo-Christian invention and inadmissible in Islam."
Muhammad al-Arifi (Saudi Cleric)
Saudi Muslim cleric
Mohammed al-Arifi said: "Devotion to Jihad for the sake of Allah, and
the desire to shed blood, to smash skulls and to sever limbs for the
sake of Allah and in defense of His religion, is, undoubtedly, an honor
for the believer."
Tripoli’s London Ambassador Abd al-Rahman to Thomas Jefferson & John Adams (1786) on “by what right do the Barbary States enslaved American seamen”
"It is written in
the Quran that all Nations who should not have acknowledged their
(Muslims) authority were sinners; that it was their right and duty to
make war upon whoever they could find and to make slaves of all they
could take as prisoners; and that every Mussulman who should be slain in
battle was sure to go to Paradise."
