“The sword of Mohammad, and the Kor’än, are the most stubborn enemies of Civilisation, Liberty, and Truth which the world has yet known.”
William Muir, The Life of Mahomet

“Endowed with a clear intellect, warm in affection, and confiding in friendship, he was from the boyhood devoted heart and soul to the Prophet. Simple, quiet, and unambitious, when in after days he obtained the rule of half of the Moslem world, it was rather thrust upon him than sought”
William Muir

“The tree (of Islam) is of artificial planting. Instead of containing within itself the germ of growth and adaptation to the various requirements of time and clime and circumstance, expanding with the genial sunshine and rain from heaven, it remains the same forced and stunted thing as when first planted some twelve centuries ago.”
Sir William Muir
