Bibliothèque Alexis de Tocqueville in Caen, France We can add Alexis de Tocqueville to the list of luminaries from yesteryear (before the Great Inhibition of our era) who in 1838 served up this cup of coffee stronger and more robust about Islam than the insipid whitewash we get these days (jar tip from Andrew Bostom):
“Jihad, Holy war, is an obligation for all believers. … The state of war is the natural state with regard to infidels … [T]hese doctrines of which the practical outcome is obvious are found on every page and in almost every word of the Koran … The violent tendencies of the Koran are so striking that I cannot understand how any man with good sense could miss them.”
