The Skull Tower is a monument to nineteenth century Serbian rebels against the Muslim invaders of that country. On 31 May 1809, on Cegar Hill, a few miles northeast of Ni, Serbian insurrectionists suffered their greatest defeat in the First Serbian Uprising against the Ottoman Empire (18041813). The insurrectionists advance towards Ni was stopped here, and when the far stronger Muslim forces attacked. The battle was ended when the Serbian commander, Stevan Sindelic, sacrificially fired at his gunpowder depot in order to avoid surrendering to the Muslims. The resulting explosion caused the death of Sindelic, his men, and hundreds of Muslim soldiers. After the retreat of the Serbian rebel army, the Muslim commander of Ni, Hurshid Pasha, ordered the heads of the killed Serbians to be mounted on a tower to serve as a warning to any other would-be revolutionaries. In all, 952 skulls were included, with the skull of Sindelic placed at the top. The scalps from the skulls were stuffed with cotton and sent to Istanbul as proof for Sultan Mahmud II. The tower stood in the open air until the liberation of Ni in 1878. By that time, much of the tower had deteriorated from weather conditions or from the removal of skulls for burial by relatives of killed rebels. In 1892, the chapel was built to enclose what was left of the tower. Today, only 58 skulls remain, including Sindelics.
In 1833, on his way back from Constantinople, French poet Alphonse de Lamartine stopped for a moment in front of Skull Tower. He was shocked at the sight of it and wrote down in his book, later published as his travel accounts Journey to the East, the famous words:
My eyes and my heart greeted the remains of those brave men whose cut off heads made the corner stone of the independence of their homeland. May the Serbs keep this monument! It will always teach their children the value of the independence of a people, showing them the real price their fathers had to pay for it.

Foreword
This book was inspired by a chance meeting with a young person in north England, only a year or so after the suicide bombings on the London Underground system. It became apparent to me, during our brief chat, that this young man genuinely had no idea of what had taken place in European history, and that he thought the London bombings were some strange recent aberration, instead of being a continuation of events going back more than a thousand years. This book is dedicated, then, to all those who do not know.

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. The effects are apparent in many countries. Improvident habits, slovenly systems of agriculture, sluggish methods of commerce, and insecurity of property exist wherever the followers of the Prophet rule or live. A degraded sensualism deprives this life of its grace and refinement; the next of its dignity and sanctity.
The fact that in Mohammedan law every woman must belong to some man as his absolute property, either as a child, a wife, or a concubine, must delay the final extinction of slavery until the faith of Islam has ceased to be a great power among men.
Individual Moslems may show splendid qualities but the influence of the religion paralyses the social development of those who follow it. No stronger retrograde force exists in the world. Far from being moribund, Mohammedanism is a militant and proselytizing faith. It has already spread throughout Central Africa, raising fearless warriors at every step; and were it not that Christianity is sheltered in the strong arms of science, the science against which it had vainly struggled, the civilization of modern Europe might fall, as fell the civilization of ancient Rome. Sir Winston Churchill ( The River War, first edition, Vol. II, pages 24850).
Chapter 1: The Mindset Which Gives Rise to Islam
It is one of the great truths of history that a people produce a culture, and that a culture does not produce a people.
Even more importantly, a people produce a culture which is in tune with their nature, which is a reflection of their soul, their worldview, and their way of life. A culture always reflects the demands, psychological profile, and character of the people who created it.
European culture is the product of the European people; it was shaped and defined by their culture, needs, and psychological makeup.
So it is with Islam. It is the product, and a reflection of, the mindset and character of the peoples who created it. Developed in the harsh, bitter, and unforgiving deserts of the Middle East, it carries with it the harshness of its creating environment, and reflects the strict regimen of laws and punishments which are necessary to keep a Third World population under control.
It is no coincidence that the concepts of democracy, charity, justice, and the right to a fair trial, were developed as jurisprudence in Europe, and nowhere else (and even in Europe these basic rights were not won from the ruling elite without much struggle).
Intelligence Quotas (IQ) levels are also reflected in a populations choice of moral values and codes. It is no coincidence that the Islamic world has taken root in nations which have an average IQ level between 70 and 79, as detailed in the 2002 book, IQ and the Wealth of Nations (Dr. Richard Lynn, Professor Emeritus of Psychology at the University of Ulster, Northern Ireland, and Dr. Tatu Vanhanen, Professor Emeritus of Political Science at the University of Tampere, Tampere, Finland. Praeger/Greenwood, 2002.) This IQ distribution is evident in figure 1 below, where it can be seen that the same IQ distribution patterns hold true in those parts of Southeast Asia which also have large Muslim populations.
The fact that Islam appears to have spread peacefully (in fact, this was the only region where it spread without large-scale violence) to these southeast Asian countries with a similar IQ level, is an interesting fact.
Figure 1: IQ Distribution in the world
(The other part of the world which shares this IQ distribution is Central and large parts of South America, which will make for an interesting scenario as these populations migrate into North America and come into contact with Islamism in the United States.)
A further insight into the psychology of the Islamist mind may be gained from a review of the state of democracyor otherwiseof those nations with majority Muslim populations. For the purposes of this review, the sub-Saharan African nations with large Muslim populations (Nigeria, Sudan, Niger, Tanzania, Senegal, Mali, Somalia, Guinea, Burkina Faso, Cote dIvoire, Chad, Sierra Leone, Mauritania, Eritrea, The Gambia, Guinea-Bissau, Comoros, and Djibouti) have all been discounted, primarily because those nations problems with democratic forms of government are no different than their non-Muslim African neighbours, and it would thus be a misrepresentation to attribute their frankly chaotic systems of government directly to any Islamist influence.
Rather, any review of the nations which are primarily originators of the Islamic World, in other words, specifically Middle Eastern in origin shows clearly, that even despite the rampages of the Arab Spring of 2011, very few real democracies exist in these nations, and those that do, tend to revert to Islamist states fairly quickly.
