July 4th, 2008A New Favourite Quote/Passage
My mum told me, a long time ago, that I absolutely must read the works of George Bernard Shaw. Today, I came across the first thing I’ve read from him, and he sure leaves a good first impression 
“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 capability to the changing phases of existence which can make itself appeal to everyone . I have prophesied about the faith of Muhammad that it would be acceptable to the Europe of today . The medieval ecclesiastics either through ignorance or bigotry painted Islam in the darkest colors. They were, in fact, trained to hate the man Muhammad and his religion. To them, Muhammad was anti-Christ. 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 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. But to proceed, it was in the nineteenth century that honest thinkers like Carlyle, Gibbon and Goethe perceived intrinsic worth in the religion of Muhammad-already, even, at the present time many of our people have gone to his faith, and Islanistan of Europe may be said to have begun.”
On that note, my sister started a new site which is exponentially better than this one: Truthful Seeker. Check it.
