Moslems: Their Beliefs, Practices, and Politics

Author:Hilaire Belloc and Gabriel Oussani
Pages: 164
Binding: Hardcover
"I cannot but believe that a main unexpected thing of the future is the return of Islam." Thus warned Hilaire Belloc in 1936 long before the West permitted millions of Moslems to immigrate and proliferate, building thousands of new mosques in the United States and Europe, including a huge one in Rome itself a few years ago. Belloc’s essay on Moslems, together with five important articles (first published in the Catholic Encyclopedia in 1908) by scholar Gabriel Oussani, comprise this timely new book. Belloc and Oussani’s writings make clear that Moslems and Christians don’t mix. The lesson: Christians need to reproduce to survive. Just as important: Christians cannot share political power with sworn enemies without dire consequences for their children and grandchildren.
