Making Churchill to look like a PC politicician historical revisionism in the process.
[edit] amused at the confused
Rather odd that the quote attributed to Churchill cannot be found within the Gutenberg e-text cited, isn't it? Fine bit of research done here. Tell me, from what neoconniving source was this dogmatic doggerel pasted from?
How long will this remain a valid pointer to an example of wikipedicosus? Y'all are bright, right? Figure it out.
cheers...
I believe the Gutenburg copy is the 1902 print of the book, therefore that quote is not included. The quote is from the 1898 as cited.
[edit] Incomplete quote?
The anti-Islam quote in the text is missing a phrase compared with some of the circulated versions. In the fuller version, Churchill's colonial inentions are shown by the words "Individual Moslems may show splendid qualities. Thousands become the brave and loyal soldiers of the Queen; all know how to die; but the influence..." If this is part of the real quote from the books, it is a fairly serious ommission.Billwilson5060 10:29, 3 October 2007 (UTC)
- Yes it was missing a clause . Fixed it now. And it was on Mohammedanism , so no need to change that to Islam--CltFn 12:13, 3 October 2007 (UTC)
