Historical Comments on the "Religion of Peace"

An article in WND quotes several historical personages analysis of Islam like Thomas Jefferson, John Adams, Alexis de Tocqueville, and Winston Churchill. None of them were very complimentary of the faith and were well aware of  its dangers. Churchill's view is representative. He fought in the Sudan as a cavalry officer and commented:

 “Individual Muslims 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 civilization of modern Europe might fall, as fell the civilization of ancient Rome.” 

If you look at virtually every trouble spot in the world at the moment, Islam is at the center and is the aggressor. Do we really want to allow something that has been at war with civilization for 15 centuries into this country without very careful vetting? History's answer would be a resounding "No!"
