List-

The mantle of content posted being professionally germane is fully endorsed and respected. But, as many here have verified, there are exceptions to rules.

This list is world wide. This is not a place for political or religious discussion. The paste below violates those principles. The justification is found in the word "mantle." The historical prescience of Churchill simply astounds. Regardless of personal origin or beliefs, this post is presented from a perspective of history.

Your forbearance, if it is extended, is taken as an act of kindness.

Winston Churchill.  1899.


"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, 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 civilization of modern
Europe might fall, as  fell the civilization of ancient Rome."
Sir Winston Churchill; (The River War, first edition, Vol. II, pages
248-50
(London:  Longmans, Green & Co., 1899)

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
