Slouching Towards Mecca
December 11, 2005
From an 1856 Harper's article on the impending collapse of Islam:
When that time comes the religion of the False Prophet will vanish in a single generation... In anticipation of that day, which may come at any moment now—which will come in a few years at the latest—every missionary that can be sent to the Orient should be sent forthwith, and the strength and wealth of the Western churches should not be spared.
