What They Say About Islam
"If any religion had the chance of ruling over England - nay Europe - within the next hundred years, it could be Islam."
-Sir George Bernard Shaw, The Genuine Islam, Vol.1, No.8, 1936
"Islam can teach us today a way of understanding and living in a world which Christianity itself is poorer for having lost. At the hart of Islam is its preservation of an integral view of the universe. Islam refuses to separate man and nature, religion and science, mind and matter, and has preserved a metaphysical and unified view of ourselves and the world around us."
-Prince Charles, Islam and the West, Arab News , October 27, 1993
"I am not a Muslim in the usual sense, though I hope I am a 'Muslim' as 'one surrendered to God,' but I believe that embedded in the Qur'an and other expressions of the Isalmic vision are vast stores of divine truth from which I and other occidentals have still much to learn, and 'Islam is certainly a strong contender for the supplying of the basic framework of the one religion of the future.'
-W. Montgomery Watt, Islam and Christianity Today , London, 1983, p.IX
"No other religion but Islam has the abilityto solve the problems of modern life. Islam is indeed unique for that..."
-Kofhi Laljapa (Indian politician and reporter), The Islamic Future, May 27, 1994, p.12
"The rise of Islam is perhaps the most amazing event in human history. Springing from a land and a people like previously negligible, Islam spread within a century over half the earth, shattering great empires, overthrowing long-established religions, remoulding the souls of races, and building up a whole new world- the world of Islam.
The closer we examine this development the more extraordinary does it appear. The other great religions won their way slowly, by painful struggle and finally triumphed with the aid of powerful monarchs converted to the new faith. Christianity had its Constantine, Buddhism its Azoka, and Zoroastrianism its Cyrus-- each lending to his chosen cult the mighty force of secular authority. Not so Islam.
Arising in a desert land sparsely inhabited by a nomad race previously undistinguished in human annals, Islam salied forth on its great adventure with the slenderest human backing and against the heaviest material odds. Yet Islam triumphed with seemingly miraculous ease..."
