About Teddy Roosevelt on inter-religious dialogue

Padre · October 28th, 2006

Teddy Roosevelet reflects on inter-religious dialogue from his 1916 book, Fear God and Take Your Part:

The 7th century Christians of Asia and Africa...had trained themselves not to fight, whereas the Moslems were trained to fight.
Christianity was saved in Europe solely because the peoples of Europe fought the Mohammedans who invaded...
From the hammer of Charles Martel to the sword of Sobieski, Christianity owed its safety in Europe to the fact it...would fight as well as the Mohammedan aggressor.

bulldogg	Wisdom of our elders indeed. "The purpose of fighting is to win. There is no possible victory in defense. The sword is more important than the shield and skill is more important than either. The final weapon is the brain. All else is supplemental." - John Steinbeck
