[Concerning Surah 4:3] “Muhammad recommends monogamy for those males who may have some kind of personality problem that prevents them from treating more than one wife ‘with equity.’ Muhammad’s policy seems to be polygamy for the strong, monogamy for the weak” (Peter Hammond, Slavery, Terrorism & Islam, p. 83).
Cultural Inferiority
“Genetic or racial determinism is no better. It will come as a surprise to American readers, perhaps, to learn that the majority of the British underclass is white, and that it demonstrates all the same social pathology as the black underclass in America—for very similar reasons, of course” (Theodore Dalrymple, Life at the Bottom, p. …
Some Marks of the Covenant of Grace
“A special part of the covenant of grace is in that promise in Ezekiel 11:19:20: ‘I will give them one heart, and I will put a new spirit within them, and they shall be my people, and I will be their God.’ And Jeremiah 32:38-39: ‘They shall be My people, and I will be their …
Right From the Start
“The Hadith records the names of at least 27 individuals who were murdered on Muhammad’s orders” (Peter Hammond, Slavery, Terrorism & Islam, p. 64).
Multi-Culti Vengeance
“[A]nd when he repeatedly exposed the follies of these policies in print, the advocates of ‘diversity’—who maintain that all cultures are equal but that opinions other than their own are forbidden—mounted a vicious and vituperative campaign against him . . . Hell, it seems, hath no fury like a multi-culturalist contradicted” (Theodore Dalrymple, Our Culture, …
Compromise #1
Chapter Two of Darryl Hart’s A Secular Faith was, as you may recall, a really disappointing treatment of the theocratic and establishmentarian convictions of the Westminster Assembly. This next chapter was quite different — all of it was admirable, and most of it was simply outstanding. Darryl begins by showing how two early presidents, Jefferson …
Mary and Miriam
“Surah 19:29 . . . claims that Mary, the Mother of Jesus, was a sister of Aaron. Because Surah 66:12 describes Mary as the daughter of Imram (the Amram of Exodus 6:20), it would seem that Muhammad was again confused about the facts. He had evidently mistaken Mary (the mother of Jesus) for Miriam (Moses’ …
Spasms of Self-Righteousness
“There is nothing so absurd, wrote Macaulay in the middle of the nineteenth century, as the spectacle of the British public in one of its periodic fits of morality; but now the spectacle is sinister as well as absurd. To make up for its lack of a moral compass, the British public is prey to …
Baked Lust
“Eight, further, as they stir up sin so they harden in sin. Fire hardens the clay into a brick. Thus are men’s hearts hardened in evil by our divisions. The hearts of men who heretofore had tender spirits were ready to relent upon any brotherly admonition. Now they are stiff; they stand out sturdily, yea, …
Religion of Force
“Clearly Islam is a religion of force which denies basic freedom. It may not be politically correct to say so, but pretending that the Quran is a pacifist document and that Islam has a consistent track record of peace and tolerance is either foolish or deceitful” (Peter Hammond, Slavery, Terrorism & Islam, p. 46).
