on Islam:

"Ever since the religion

of Islam appeared in

the world, the espousers of it...have been
as wolves and tigers to all other nations,
rending and tearing all that fellintotheir
merciless paws, and grinding them withtheir
iron teeth;thatnumberless cities areraised
from the foundation, and only theirname
remaining: that many countries,which were
once as the garden of God, are now a
desolate wilderness: and that so many once
numerous and powerful Nations are
vanished from the earth!Such was, andis at
this day, the rage, the fury, the revenge, of
these destroyers of humankind:"
