American Minute with Bill Federer

OCT. 27 - Theodore Roosevelt - 'Wherever the Mohammedans have had complete sway...'

Theodore Roosevelt was born OCTOBER 27, 1858.

His wife and mother died on Valentine's Day, 1884.

Depressed, he left to ranch in the Dakotas.



Returning to New York, he entered politics and rose to Assistant Secretary of the Navy.

He resigned during the Spanish-American War, organized the first Volunteer Cavalry, "the Rough Riders," and captured Cuba's San Juan Hill.



Elected Vice-President under William McKinley, he became America's youngest President in 1901.  



In 1909, Roosevelt warned:

"The thought of modern industry in the hands of Christian charity is a dream worth dreaming.

The thought of industry in the hands of paganism is a nightmare beyond imagining.

The choice between the two is upon us."



In his book Fear God and Take Your Part, 1916, Theodore Roosevelt wrote:

"Christianity is not the creed of Asia and Africa at this moment solely because the seventh 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.

If the peoples of Europe in the 7th and 8th centuries, and on up to and including the 17th century, had not possessed a military equality with, and gradually a growing superiority over the Mohammedans who invaded Europe, Europe would at this moment be Mohammedan and the Christian religion would be exterminated."

Theodore Roosevelt continued:

"Wherever the Mohammedans have had complete sway, wherever the Christians have been unable to resist them by the sword, Christianity has ultimately disappeared.

From the hammer of Charles Martel to the sword of Jan Sobieski, Christianity owed its safety in Europe to the fact that it was able to show that it could and would fight as well as the Mohammedan aggressor."
