Winston Churchill<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Winston Churchill fue el Primer Ministro del Reino Unido y, seg\u00fan muchos historiadores, fue \u00e9l quien salv\u00f3 el mundo durante la Segunda Guerra Mundial gracias a su actitud implacable. Tampoco se hizo ilusiones con la URSS desde el principio.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hoy en d\u00eda se le recuerda principalmente por su lengua afilada, qui\u00e9n no ha o\u00eddo esto:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
- If you\u2019re not a socialist when you\u2019re 25, you have no heart. If you\u2019re not a conservative by the time you\u2019re 35, you have no brain.<\/em><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n
(Si no eres socialista a los 25 a\u00f1os no tienes coraz\u00f3n. Sin embargo, si no te conviertes en conservador a los 35 a\u00f1os, no tienes cerebro).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
El Internet est\u00e1 lleno de citas de Winston Churchill. Y como suele ocurrir con las citas del Internet, a menudo tienen poco en com\u00fan con la persona que aparece en la foto de al lado… Como, por ejemplo, esta cita de arriba. Esta cita es mucho m\u00e1s mayor que Winston Churchill1<\/a><\/sup>– lo que no quiere decir que el Primer Ministro brit\u00e1nico no haya citado estas palabras en alg\u00fan momento de su turbulenta carrera pol\u00edtica. Los historiadores, sin embargo, se r\u00eden de que a los 15 a\u00f1os Winston fuese m\u00e1s bien conservador (ese es el t\u00e9rmino que se utiliza para referirse a la \u00abderecha\u00bb en Inglaterra). Pero a los 35 a\u00f1os era m\u00e1s bien \u00absocialista\u00bb 2<\/a><\/sup> .<\/p>\n\n\n\n

- The fact that in Mohammedan law every woman must belong to some man as his absolute property \u2013 either as a child, a wife, or a concubine \u2013 must delay the final extinction of slavery until the faith of Islam has ceased to be a great power among men. Thousands become the brave and loyal soldiers of the faith: all know how to die but the influence of the religion paralyses the social development of those who follow it. No stronger retrograde force exists in the world. Far from being moribund, Mohammedanism is a militant and proselytizing faith. It has already spread throughout Central Africa, raising fearless warriors at every step; and were it not that Christianity is sheltered in the strong arms of science, the science against which it had vainly struggled, the civilisation of modern Europe might fall, as fell the civilisation of ancient Rome.<\/em><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n
El hecho de que en la ley mahometana toda mujer deba pertenecer a alg\u00fan hombre como su total propiedad -como hija, esposa o concubina- debe aplazar la eventual abolici\u00f3n de la esclavitud hasta el momento en que el Islam deje de tener tanto poder sobre los hombres. Miles de personas se convierten en valientes y leales soldados de esta religi\u00f3n: todos saben morir, pero la influencia de esta religi\u00f3n paraliza el desarrollo social de sus seguidores. El mahometismo no est\u00e1 en absoluto muerto, es una fe militante y misionera. Ya se ha extendido por \u00c1frica central, reclutando intr\u00e9pidos guerreros en su camino; si no fuera porque el cristianismo est\u00e1 protegido por el fuerte brazo de la ciencia, una ciencia contra la que ha luchado en vano, la civilizaci\u00f3n de la Europa moderna podr\u00eda derrumbarse como lo hizo la de la antigua Roma.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
