"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 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 civilisation of modern Europe might fall, as fell the civilisation of ancient Rome."

Brian of London began actively blogging and podcasting one day when he was taken by surprise by a lesbian and wound up on US talk radio. Brian of London is not the Messiah, he's a very naughty boy. One day, when Tom threatened to close his favorite podcast, Shire Network News, pleading a lack of time, he stupidly offered technical assistance with producing the show and half an hour later became the host. Brian's interests include world peace and an end to world hunger. He's also rather keen on saving the free world from its destruction by both its own hand and the malign influence of people who believe the ultimate guide to their existence is to be found in the example of a self proclaimed Prophet with a penchant for marrying 6 year old children.
