PROGRAMME PITCH TO THE BBC
A guest Contribution by Graeme Thompson who posts as hippiepooter
Via the good offices of B-BBC, I’d like to make an open programme pitch to the BBC Documentary Commissioning Editors for a series on what those who have forged history have made of the world’s great religions. Let’s give it a working title, ‘RELIGION: THE HISTORYMAKERS’.
A mini-treatment below for a pilot to kick off the series starting with one of the world religions that on the BBC’s terms there never seems such a thing as ‘over-exposure’:-
WINSTON CHURCHILL ON ISLAM
“How dreadful are the curses which Mohammedanism lays on its votaries ! Besides the fanatical frenzy, which is as dangerous in a man as hydrophobia in a dog, there is this fearful fatalistic apathy. The effects are apparent in many countries. Improvident habits, slovenly systems of agriculture, sluggish methods of commerce, and insecurity of property exist wherever the followers of the Prophet rule or live. A degraded sensualism deprives this life of its grace and refinement; the next of its dignity and sanctity. The fact that in Mohammedan law every woman must belong to some man as his absolute property – either as a child, a wife, or a concubine – must delay the final extinction of slavery until the faith of Islam has ceased to be a great power among men. Individual Moslems may show splendid qualities. Thousands become the brave and loyal soldiers of the Queen; 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.”
Winston S. Churchill, The River War, pp 248-250 (First Edition, Vol II, Longmans, Green & Co, 1899)
ADOLF HITLER ON ISLAM
Hitler had been much impressed by a scrap of history he had learned from a delegation of distinguished Arabs. When the Mohammedans had attempted to penetrate beyond France into Central Europe during the eighth century, his visitors had told him, they had been driven back at the Battle of Tours. Had the Arabs won this battle, the world would be Mohammedan today. For theirs was a religion that believed in spreading the faith by the sword and subjugating all nations to that faith. The Germanic peoples would have become heirs to that religion. Such a creed was perfectly suited to the Germanic temperament. Hitler said that the conquering Arabs, because of their racial inferiority, would in the long run have been unable to contend with the harsher climate and conditions of the country. They could not have kept down the more vigorous natives, so that ultimately not Arabs but Islamized Germans could have stood at the head of this Mohammedan Empire.
Hitler usually concluded this historical speculation by remarking “You see, it’s been our misfortune to have the wrong religion. Why didn’t we have the religion of the Japanese, who regard sacrifice for the Fatherland as the highest good? The Mohammedan religion too would have been much more compatible to us than Christianity. Why did it have to be Christianity with its meekness and flabbiness?”
‘Inside the Third Reich’, Albert Speer, p96
What the makers of history have to say might of course lead viewers to think that the problems we’re having with Islam today are part of a 1400 year continuum, but for a BBC that abides by its Charter to present facts fairly and objectively to the greater good of our democracy, this should not be a problem.
If any B-BBC readers would like to help flesh out this programme idea by sharing whatever other insights of great historic figures they may be aware of, I’m sure it can only enhance this programme’s chances of being made (!).
This person would make a great presenter.
When Hitler was on the rise Churchill warned us time and time again in the Commons that the facts and what Hitler himself had laid out in Mein Kampf made it perfectly clear what the intentions of Nazism were. We chose instead to bury our heads in the sand until faced with war or surrender. 50 million people died.
No-one in the Commons today is warning us of the consequences of appeasement and ready to take the helm when we take our heads out of the sand. Hopefully that might change this election. If not, we are heading incrementally and unobtrusively to a reckoning that will eclipse the evil of Hitler.
The islamo-correctnick BBC is a full and active player in the propaganda axis of this evil.
Nazism :-
Eradication of the Jewish people
Eradication of Christianity
World domination through violence and terror
Islam:-
Eradication of the Jewish people
Eradication of Christianity
World domination through violence and terror
BBC:-
Eradication of the Jewish people
Eradication of Christianty
Media world domination through lies and deceit.
The nazis anti christian? Try listening to Hitlers speeches and hes constantly referring to god and thanking the lord.
My grandad who recently died aged 92 served in combined operations in the war. He served on a landing craft infantry. He took part in every landing during the italy campaign that youve heard of plus a lot of landings youve never heard of that have been lost to history
What realy battered his head was when he first got to take germans prisoner, and ive talked to many ppl and their grandparents and fathers have said exactly the same thing, was what was written on the german soldiers belt. “gott mit uns” which translates to “god with us”. He used to admit he fell for the propaganda that the germans were all evil anti religious walking devils on earth and allied soldiers didnt need helmets in battle their halo would protect them
How about Hitlers personal army, the SS. If you get your history from the tv or a historian, you’d actually think the SS was an anti religious organisation, In reality, you had to be a member of any religion in order to join the SS. Atheists were unable to join it. heres the oath of the SS
“What is your oath ?” – “I vow to you, Adolf Hitler, as Führer and chancellor of the German Reich loyalty and bravery. I vow to you and to the leaders that you set for me, absolute allegiance until death. So help me God !”
“So you believe in a God ?” – “Yes, I believe in a Lord God.”
“What do you think about a man who does not believe in a God ?” – “I think he is arrogant, megalomaniacal and stupid; he is not eligible for us.”
Think of the lies and propaganda we were told about the iraq war. Now think back to the 1940s and think of the lies and and propaganda they could get away with back then. They must have been good, ppl are still falling for the lies and propaganda today.
if youre interested, this is worth watching, There are 2 sides to every story

A documentary to sanitise Hitler? I’ll give it a pass if you don’t mind. Especially when I see in the comments Holocaust deniers lap it up.
Evil men will always exploit people’s faith to serve their evil ends.
“”For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect.””
Matt 24:24 (KJV)
The ‘god is with us’ moto on german army belt buckles pre-dates the national socialist rise to power
And in his private correpondance it is clear that hitler was an atheist

Or
http://www.doxa.ws/social/Hitler.html
No one could doubt that Stalin was an atheist but when necessity called he answered by referring to ‘holy mother Russia ‘ in public speeches and reaching and temporary accommodation with the orthodox church he had previously ruthlessly suppressed
Similarly, Sadam Hussein only found the Koran after he was attacked by the Americans and Napoleon’s claim to be a moslem while in Egypt was inspired by his need to push the British out of the Levant
I consider myself to be a reasoned atheist ,as opposed to secular fundamentalist, and part of that is accepting the faults of atheism as well as its virtues
i was always told that ‘gott mit uns’ was worn by the wehrmacht which, despite fighting for nazism, was less than enthusiastic about nazism, as its officer class were mainly nationalist german aristcrats.
Hitler was replacing the Judo-Christian God with a Pagan Germanic God.
The official history was rewritten to glorify Pagan Germans bravely fighting against Christian foreign armies.
‘The Fuhrer is deeply religous, though completely anti-Christian’ – Goebbels.
‘It is a branch of the Jewish race… Both [Judaism and Christianity] have no point of contact to the animal element, and thus, in the end, they will be destroyed. – Hitler

Islamising Turkey and Armenian Genocide.
‘Jihadwatch’-
“Turks irked at Pope Francis’ referring to Armenian Genocide”
[Excerpt]:-
“The Turks are irked because they have never admitted that their mass murder of the Armenians was a genocide. Islamic supremacists never take responsibility for any evil they have done, or that other Islamic supremacists have done. It either didn’t happen, or was done by someone else, or was the Infidels’ fault. And so the Turks are enraged that Pope Francis, of all people, actually used the word “genocide” in connection with what the Ottomans did to the Armenians — particularly at this time, when the Erdogan regime is rolling back Kemalist secularism and re-Ottomanizing Turkey.”

“Qur’an read inside Hagia Sophia for the first time in 85 years”
[Excerpt]:-
“It was once the grandest cathedral in the Christian world, surpassing anything in Rome or anywhere else — until the Muslim conquest of Constantinople on May 29, 1453. Then it was converted into a mosque. In the 1930s, the secular Turkish government made it into a museum. But now, with Turkish secularism breathing its dying breaths, it will soon be a mosque again.”

Turkey, like ISIS, does not recognise mass slaugher of Infidels as genocide, as slaughter of Infidels is legitimate, and sanctioned by the canonical texts of Islam.
The Turks had the chance to apologise while their country was still relatively secular. After all, Ataturk was a nationalist who loathed Islam, but saw the Armenian genocide as ethnic, rather than religious, cleansing.
