Thus it panders to the lower instincts of humanity and makes its spread the easier. THUS IT BAND US TO THE LOWER INSTINCTS OF HUMANITY AND MAKES ITS BREAD THE EASIER
ing that excessive indulgence in polygamy is the universal state of Moslem society. Happily this is not the case. There are not only individuals, but tribes and districts, which, either from custom or preference, voluntarily restrict the license given them in the Koran; while the natural influence of the family, even in Moslem countries, has an antiseptic tendency that often itself tends greatly to neutralize the evil.[66] Nor am I seeking to institute any contrast between the morals at large of Moslem countries and the rest of the world. If Christian nations are (as with shame it must be confessed) in some strata of society immoral, it is in the teeth of their divine law. And the restrictions of that law are calculated, and in the early days of Christianity did tend, in point of fact, _to deter men_ devoted to the indulgences of the flesh from embracing the faith.[67] The religion of Mohammed, on the other hand, gives direct sanction to the sexual indulgences we have been speaking of. H I AM VERY FAR INDEED FROM IMPLYING THAT EXCESSIVE INDULGENCE IN POLYGAMI IS A UNIVERSAL STATE OF MOSLEM SOCIETY HAPPILY THIS IS NOT THE CASE THERE ARE NOT ONLY INDIVIDUS BUT TRIBES AND DISTRICTS WHICH EITHER FROM CUSTOM OR PREFERENCE VOLUNTARILY RESTRICT THE LICENSE GIVEN THEM IN THE POROUN WHILE THE NATURAL INFLUENCE OF THE FAMILY EVEN IN MOSLEIN COUNTRIES HAS AN ANTISEPTIC TENDENCY THAT OFTEN ITSELF STENDS GREATLY TO NEUTRALIZE THE EVIL NOR AM I SEEKING TO INSTITUTE ANY CONTRAST BETWEEN THE MORALS AT LARGE OF MOSLEM COUNTRIES AND THE REST OF THE WORLD IF CHRISTIAN NATIONS ARE AS WITH SHAME IT MUST BE CONFESSED IN SOME STRATA OF SOCIETY IMMORAL IT IS IN THE TEETH OF THEIR DIVINE LAW AND THE RESTRICTIONS OF THAT LAW ARE CALCULATED AND IN THE EARLY DAYS OF CHRISTIANITY DID TEND IN POINT OF FACT TO DETERMINE DEVOTED TO THE INDULGENCES OF THE FLESH FROM EMBRACING THE FAITH THE RELIGION OF MOHAMMED ON THE OTHER HAND GIVES DIRECT SANCTION TO THE SEXUAL INDULGENCES WE HAVE BEEN SPEAKING OF
