Winston Churchill 1899. "Individual Muslims may show splendid qualities, but the influence of the religion paralyses the social development of those who follow it. No stronger retrograde force exists in the world." ===============================================================================================

This is amazing. Even more amazing is that this hasn't been published long before now.
CHURCHILL ON ISLAM Unbelievable, but the speech below was written in 1899.
(Check Wikipedia - The River War). The attached short speech from Winston Churchill, was delivered by him in 1899 when he was a young soldier and journalist. It probably sets out the current views of many, but expresses in the wonderful Churchillian turn of phrase and use of the English language, of which he was a past master. Sir Winston Churchill was, without doubt, one of the greatest men of the late 19th and 20th centuries. He was a brave young soldier, a brilliant journalist, an extraordinary politician and statesman, a great war leader and British Prime Minister, to whom the Western world must be forever in his debt.
 
He was a prophet in his own time. He died on 24th January 1965, at the grand old age of 90 and,
after a lifetime of service to his country, was accorded a State funeral.
 
HERE IS THE SPEECH:
"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 Muslims may show splendid qualities, but the influence of the religion paralyses 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."
Sir Winston Churchill; (Source: The River War, first edition, Vol II, pages 248-250 London).
Churchill saw it coming.

Fwd: FW: German Wonderland



 

German Wonderland

 

Remember the two brothers, in Germany, who had a wonderful model railway which was something to see? This is an update for their German Wonderland. Enjoy.

 

There have been little clips about this place for the past few years. It is still not finished but is growing to the conclusion as they will soon run out of space.

 

A short review. It was started by two brothers as a place to show their hobby and started growing by leaps & bounds. Soon they were joined by other 'Model Railroad Clubs' and other craftsmen. Some were electricians, model makers, carpenters, and computer programmers. Their wives would stop by to see what they were doing and usually bring them a lunch.

 

One thing led to another. Three of the ladies had worked at a bakery. Several visitors would ask if they had a snack bar. The Idea was planted; some of the carpenters came and built a nice restaurant area for the bakery and a kitchen too. If the fresh coffee smell didn't get you - then the bakery definitely would.

 

This was about 5 years ago. One of the breweries came and furnished all of the tables and chairs, serving counter, etc.

 

Their latest finished area is the airport. Planes look like they are flying and landing.

Should you buy counterfeit batteries? [VIDEO]

I may have gotten some counterfeit Energizer batteries at Wal-mart lately.
I have had several pieces of equipment damaged and destroyed due to these batteries in the last 6 months.
I purchased one pack of batteries and before I even opened the pack several had burst and leaked in the packaging.
I had used these batteries for years and have had no trouble in the past.

I used to use the Duracell for years but found the Energizer to last just as long but much cheaper but had never had any leakage from the Duracells even after years of non use..

I have switched back to the Duracell but I have experimented with the Quantum battery and have been pleasantly surprised at the longer life although higher priced battery but maybe I won't have damaged equipment from their use.

My mother wanted me to look at her flashlight a couple of days ago as it had quit working. The first thing I asked was had she replaced the batteries in it lately and her response was "last week". I then asked what brand and it was the Energizer she thought. I had to destroy the case just to prove to her that it was indeed corroded batteries as I suspected after all the problems I had been having with them recently. The batteries were the culprit as the case was corroded shut. Watch this video and it may shed some light on the problem. I have heard of this problem for years now but I had not had any personal experience with it until maybe lately.
