Have to wonder if this was ever stated. When did Churchill have that to worry about or make a statement about it? I may be wrong but that seems to be a stretch back in that day...

Not arguing with you WcW... (Looked like a good nickname. ;) )
No idea, if it turns out to be fake I'll remove it though.




I was, a long time ago, a professionally certified welder. While I was forced to take a different career path many years ago, I still consider myself a welder. I was always proud of what I did, and how hard I worked. ( Thanks dad)

I hadn't thought much about it till your post, but Churchill wrote 2 books on his dealings with Muslims which includes The River War which included his own experiences in the war. There does seem to be some question about the quote though.

Reactions: BBUK
It truly is glaringly, alarmingly obvious that Democrats have sold out on the plan to import as many illegal immigrants as possible. They physically tore down barriers at the border to allow droves of illegals to cross the border. They went to court to fight all efforts to enforce the law and secure the border. They will do everything possible to obstruct any effort by the next administration to secure the border. They are trying to sell off the materials that Trump might use to continue with border wall construction. No matter how much evidence is accumulated to show the damages and threats our country faces from an unsecured border and unenforced immigration laws, they will insist on continuing to try to destroy our country. It's insane, and they are treasonous.

I wouldn't worry about removing it whether he said it or not, cause whoever did say that line...it's true! I know liberals today have tried to 'cancel' him for 'racist' words or writings about Indians and Muslims.

Here is Churchill on Islam in 1899:

“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.​

Thousands become the brave and loyal soldiers of the faith: all know how to die 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 civilisation of modern Europe might fall, as fell the civilisation of ancient Rome.”​

― Winston Churchill, The River War







More from Churchill: (by religion of peace he means Christianity)

Indeed it is evident that Christianity, however degraded and distorted by cruelty and intolerance, must always exert a modifying influence on men’s passions, and protect them from the more violent forms of fanatical fever, as we are protected from smallpox by vaccination. But the Mahommedan religion increases, instead of lessening, the fury of intolerance. It was originally propagated by the sword, and ever since its votaries have been subject, above the people of all other creeds, to this form of madness. In a moment the fruits of patient toil, the prospects of material prosperity, the fear of death itself, are flung aside.

The more emotional Pathans are powerless to resist. All rational considerations are forgotten. Seizing their weapons, they become Ghazis—as dangerous and as sensible as mad dogs: fit only to be treated as such. While the more generous spirits among the tribesmen become convulsed in an ecstasy of religious bloodthirstiness, poorer and more material souls derive additional impulses from the influence of others, the hopes of plunder and the joy of fighting.

Thus whole nations are roused to arms. Thus the Turks repel their enemies, the Arabs of the Soudan break the British squares, and the rising on the Indian frontier spreads far and wide. In each case civilisation is confronted with militant Mahommedanism. The forces of progress clash with those of reaction. The religion of blood and war is face to face with that of peace. Luckily the religion of peace is usually the better armed. —The Story of the Malakand Field Force (1898), 26-27

Sir,

No disrespect to you intended ever. I had thought I made that clear. Please accept my apology.

I too was a welder, I loved it. Many types in high school shop. My teacher got me a job welding on boxcars. I burned boxes upon boxes of rods..

Mig, Tig, heliarc, I forgot more than I remember.... Really enjoyed welding. Silver soldering was probably my favorite just because of the way it flowed. Liked welding aluminum for the same reason. Just pretty....

Still have the faint white spots all over both arms. Got flash burns once, just once. Worst pain I ever had in my life... Just cried then would not cry because it hurt so much.... I was brought in to instruct on a new MIG welder to a school. I was showing off as I was 18 and in charge Yep, I was humbled for life that night. I hope you've never had that but if you ever did you know.

Again, no disrespect to you intended at all.

Thank goodness we don't have this dumbass coaching us anymore lol



I'm like a college leftist and I'm getting triggered here just seeing this guy's face. Haha

This guy is so full of shit. Having to deal with this guy the last handful of years where it was the same exact crap over and over again---got so annoying. You knew you were going to get bounced. You knew the same mistakes would happen over and over again. You knew his boys didn't give a shit about being here and used this place. This guy had no ability to change at all and stopped caring about actually trying to win for his college program.

I'll forever be grateful that Arkansas took this guy off of our hands because we were stuck with this guy for quite some time otherwise. This guy should've left in 2019 and he would've been viewed and remebered so well.

Thank Cow too though, he was pretty dumb for as smart as he thinks he is.... Sure glad he's a Hog now.

No disrespect to bacon, sausage, and other pork.... I like them...

Is he not one of the biggest narcissists ever?
 
Nah, I am worried about my daughter having to drive back from Fort Belvoir tomorrow night though. Thinking of telling her to pack some clothes and stay on base.

Our utilities are buried but we may lose power. I have a couple ways to stay warm and can drain my lines if needed.

A few years back we had that ice storm, and like you our utilities are buried, but where it all feeds from is not so we lost power for 4-5 days. We have a gas fireplace, so we never got cold but after the third night my wife started on me about going to a hotel. I called as far as ETown and nothing was available. So rode it out so I said I will never be without power again. Bought and wired a transfer box and generator, and to this day never had to use it. LOL It might have 3 hours on it from me just starting it to run a bit

Oh mercy BBUK, I wasn't offended at all my BBN friend, not one bit!

Yep, had flash burn a couple of times when I was first learning. My dad owned a machine/welding shop and I began learning quite early. I was proficient in mild steel, stainless, cast iron and aluminum by the age of 13. All stick welding back then ; mig hadn't been invented yet.

Yep, I have quite a few white spots on my arms too, lol. The most painful experience I ever had on a welding job: I had made a hitch for a man and was in the process of welding it onto the frame of his truck. Of course, I'm laying on my back under the truck, welding overhead. Getting burned by the sparks, and mini balls is common, but I had a rather large red hot mini ball fall into my helmet and enter my nostril, going all the way back in there, lol. Brother.......that HURT. The inside of my nostril was on fire. Well, the instant it happened I went to sit straight up and, you guessed it, I hot my head on a steel corner piece.

I'll always be grateful that dad wasn't there at that particular time because I cussed a blue streak, ha ha.

But anyway, yeah I enjoyed my work, particularly repair work. Never cared for machine work, much to the consternation of my dad, who loved it. I'd rather spend two days repairing a broken crane frame that one hour on a lathe.


You're good people BBUK, we're all good sir.

I had a miller mig that I hardly ever used, and my dumbass decided to sell it because I hadn't used it, now I wish I had it because little always pop up and no more than I use it I cannot justify paying that much for another.
