Islamization of Europe Predicted

Submitted by Mike Ramirez (United States), May 11, 2004 at 17:30

Here are some rather interesting views toward Islam by the following individuals:

"If any religion had the chance of ruling over England, nay Europe within the next hundred years, it could be Islam. I have always held the religion of Muhammad in high estimation because of its wonderful vitality. It is the only religion which appears to me to possess that assimilating capacity to the changing phase of existence which can make itself appeal to every age. I have studied him - the wonderful man and in my opinion far from being an anti-Christ, he must be called the Saviour of Humanity. I believe that if a man like him were to assume the dictatorship of the modern world, he would succeed in solving its problems in a way that would bring it the much needed peace and happiness: I have prophesied about the faith of Muhammad that it would be acceptable to the Europe of tomorrow as it is beginning to be acceptable to the Europe of today."
George Bernard Shaw, THE GENUINE ISLAM, Vol. 1, No. 8, 1936.]

"Prince Charles courted controversy earlier this year when he reaffirmed his claim that when he succeeds the throne, he does not wish to be the defender of only the Christian faith." [Rajeev Syal and Christopher Morgan Sunday Times (London, U.K.)

"Four years after the death of Justinian, A.D. 569, was born in Mecca, in Arabia, the man who, of all men, has exercised the greatest influence upon the human race... To be the religious head of many empires, to guide the daily life of one-third of the human race, may perhaps justify the title of a Messenger of God."
Dr. William Draper in 'History of Intellectual Development of Europe'


And then, of course, there are American politicians who also have a favored view toward Islam:

"Islam is the fastest-growing religion in America, a guide and pillar of stability for many of our people..."
[HILLARY RODMAN CLINTON, Los Angeles Times, May 31, 1996, p.3]

The reality is that the Islamic prophet, Muhammad, would condone the very acts of terrorism that are being spread throughout the world today. It is how Islam spread from its inception; through terror and forced conversions. Until non-Muslims realize this fact, they will continue to believe that the ideology of Islam is a peaceful religion whose core tenets have been "hijacked" by militant groups.

The core tenets of Islam call for the extermination of Jews, Christians and all non-Muslims. This is what comprises the fundamental ideology of all Islamic militant groups who, in their faith, have nothing to lose but everything to gain: World domination if successful or paradise if "martyrd" for their cause.
