Let us remind ourselves and the world of what Churchill had to say about Jews and the revival of the Jewish state. At a 1905 Manchester meeting protesting Russian antisemitic pogroms, Churchill strongly condemned this persecution (just as his father had in 1881), and pointedly warned Russia by citing an adage that he attributed to […]
Pro-Hamas Dutch Agitator Vandalizes Churchill Statue and U.K. Court Acquits Him
A flying Dutchman named Olax Outis, a self-described pro-Palestinian “activist,” came to the U.K. expressly to engage in pro-Hamas anti-Israel graffiti. His target was a statue of Churchill, England’s greatest statesman, standing imposingly in Parliament Square. Outis painted numerous small graffiti all over Churchill’s body, but the largest letters were reserved for the three words […]
Bank of England drops Churchill from banknotes, as he promotes a ‘backward-looking vision of the UK’
ritain’s civilizational suicide is taking place, as you might expect, under the politest of veneers. These affairs don’t have to be messy and loud, now, do they? Every act of cultural surrender and self-abnegation is taking place with the most rational of explanations. And so as that once green and pleasant land goes gentle into […]

Heeding Winston Churchill on Islam
James Zumwalt is the son of the much-admired late Admiral Elmo Zumwalt, Jr. and is himself a commentator on current affairs. He recently came across the description of Islam that Winston Churchill provided in The River War, which was about the British fighting the fuzzy-wuzzies in Sudan. Churchill had seen the Muslims up close, came […]
Winston Churchill’s Putative Conversion to Islam (Part 3)
Part 1 is here. Part 2 is here. CREDULITY IN ALL RELIGIOUS MATTER. “The high sententious fantasy of the ignorant Arabs, the same that will not trust the heart of man, is full of infantile credulity in all religious matter.”[34] MISERIES OF THE HAJ. “Infinite are the miseries of the Haj; religion is a promise […]
Winston Churchill’s Putative Conversion to Islam (Part 2)
Part 1 is here. WILFRID SCAWEN BLUNT [1840-1922] Let us now turn to Wilfrid Scawen Blunt, who dressed up in “Arab clothes” with Churchill. It is a bit of stretch to go from dressing up in Arab clothes to converting to Islam. What exactly are “Arab clothes”? Not all Arabs are Muslims. There are Christian […]
Winston Churchill’s Putative Conversion to Islam (Part 1)
There was considerable fuss and noise and Islamic triumphalism in 2014 when a certain researcher from the University of Aberystwyth (U.K.) called Warren Dockter supposedly came across a letter written by Winston Churchill’s future sister-in-law, Lady Gwendeline Bertie [1] in August 1907 (she married Winston’s brother Jack on 4 August 1908) in which she pleads […]
Winston Churchill and Islam (Part Six)
Part One. Part Two. Part Three. Part Four. Part Five. “While the Mad Fakir was rousing Swat and Buner, this powerful priest incited the Mohmands”.[1] The Mohmand were also a Pashtun tribe, against whom the British had waged war on and off since 1851, but the main operations began between 1897–1898. Though he was known […]
Winston Churchill and Islam (Part Five)
Part One. Part Two. Part Three. Part Four. The extraordinary credulity of the people is hardly conceivable. Had the Mad Mullah called on them to follow him to attack Malakand and Chakdara they would have refused. Instead he worked miracles. He sat at his house, and all who came to visit him, brought him a […]
