"Islam isn't in America to be equal to any other faith, but to become dominant.

“If you will not fight for right when you can easily win without bloodshed,
if you will not fight when your victory is sure and not too costly,
you may come to the moment when you will have to fight with all the odds against you and only a precarious chance of survival. There may even be a worse case.
You may have to fight when there is no hope of victory, because it is better to perish than to live as slaves.”
-Sir Winston Churchill

"Can anybody guess how many cemeteries of Allied soldiers there are in Italy?

Each time I pass in front of it and see that lake of crosses, I shiver with grief and gratitude."
-Oriana Fallaci
