Shaw?
Sir George Bernard Shaw (26 July 1856 – 2 November 1950) was an Irish, born in Dublin. Shaw was a talent, distinguished, honored and creative author. He is the first person to have been awarded both a Nobel Prize for Literature (1925) and an Oscar. Shaw wanted to refuse his Nobel Prize outright because he had no desire for public honors, but accepted it at his wife’s behest: she considered it a tribute to Ireland.
What George Bernard Shaw said about Muhammad?
“I have always held the religion of Muhammad in high estimation because of its wonderful vitality. It is the only religion which appears to me to possess that assimilating capacity to the changing phase of existence which can make itself appeal to every age. I have studied him – the wonderful man and in my opinion far from being an anti-Christ, he must be called the Saviour of Humanity. I believe that if a man like him were to assume the dictatorship of the modern world, he would succeed in solving its problems in a way that would bring it the much needed peace and happiness: I have prophesied about the faith of Muhammad that it would be acceptable to the Europe of tomorrow as it is beginning to be acceptable to the Europe of today.”
What George Bernard Shaw said about Islam?
“If any religion had the chance of ruling over England, nay Europe within the next hundred years, it could be Islam.”
