"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.

A degraded sensualism deprives this life of its grace and refinement; the next of its dignity and sanctity."
