OUR CANON OF JUDGMENT,

447-448

I. Mohammedanism, by its historical hostility to Christianity, has proved itself a weapon of the kingdom of darkness against the kingdom of light, thus taking rank, side by side, with anti-Christian Judaism and anti-Christian Paganism,

448-458

II. Unbelieving Judaism diabolically opposed Christianity in its personal manifestation,

458-461

III. The Heathenism of Rome diabolically opposed Christianity in its congregational or ecclesiastical manifestation,

461-464

IV. Islamism, a compound of Jewish fanaticism and Roman despotism, likewise opposed Christianity, but more especially in its national and political manifestation,

465-468

V. Mohammed, the Prophet and Propagator of Islam, laid the foundation of the anti-Christian and permanently hostile policy of the Mussulman world against Christianity and Christendom,

468-474

VI. The Mohammedan world, under the direction of the Arabs, and acting in the spirit of its prophet, pursues an interior and exterior policy, decidedly anti-Christian,

474-479

VII. The Mohammedan world, under the direction of the Turks, retains and carries out the anti-Christian policy started by the Arabs, as long as its power of doing so lasts,

479-485
