The family members of Winston Churchill deny the claims made by Nick Griffin, that the BNP would be the late Prime Mnisters party of choice.
I was unsure of Winston Churchill`s views on Islam, so decided to take a look. This is what I discovered...
By Sir Winston Churchill, from The River War, first edition, Vol. II, pages 248-50
"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 had vainly struggled, the civilization of modern Europe might fall, as fell the civilization of ancient
Rome."
Based on the above quote, Mr Griffin appears to have a case, infact many of the Conservatives from that period of time would have been classed as
`Islamophobic`.
The other issue concerning the use of `Military` images on BNP literature, is quite mystifying too.
The allied offensive fought against the single rule of Nazism, inorder to preserve the rights of nations to govern and culturally express themselves
within their borders....is this not one of the many forms of Nationalism.?
