Churchill on Islam

I may have mentioned it before, but one more time, I give you a link to what Winston Churchill had to say about Islam in his book on the Sudan campaign entitled The River War (scroll down). It is too long to quote in its entirety. Here is a short sample:

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.

Who knew Winston was an abolitionist? The link is to a blogpost at Power Line by Steven Hayward.
