British leader Winston Churchill family convert to Islam or anti-Islam according to Dockter

British leader Winston Churchill was once begged to not convert to Islam, a recently unearthed family letter shows. The letter appears to disprove claims the iconic World War II leader was anti-Islam, according to the academic who found the correspondence.

Dockter found the letter in the Churchill Archives Center in Cambridge and told NBC News that "most amateur histories and people with a political ax to grind" cite a Churchill quote about the dreadful nature of "Mohammedanism." But that quote was made in the context of a fundamentalist Islamic revolt in Sudan that was violently suppressed by the British and should not be interpreted as a reflection of Churchill's view on the entire religion, Dockter explained.
Churchill, who set up the Middle East Department in the Colonial Office of the British empire, had a lifelong interest in Islamic culture, according to Dockter, author of the upcoming book "Winston Churchill and the Islamic World: Orientalism, Empire and Diplomacy in the Middle East." He added: "Churchill had Muslim friends, he liked Muslims, but did that mean he was always pro-Islam? Of course not."

Yet only one verse of the Qur’an seems to refer to Mecca by name: “And He it is Who hath withheld men’s hands from you, and hath withheld your hands from them, in the valley of Mecca, after He had made you victors over them. Allah is Seer of what ye do” (48:24). And we know that the Ka’aba predates Islam, as Muhammad is said to have entere
