The Crescent
The Crescent, a weekly record of Islam in England, edited by W.H. Abdullah Quilliam represents Muslims in England between 1893 and 1908. These unique documents are a historical record of the situation of Islam and a growing convert community in British colonial times.

Fanatics and Fanaticism
By Abdullah Quilliam – 1890:
“When some years ago I first renounced Christianity and embraced Islam, I found that I was looked upon as a species of a monomaniac, and if I endeavoured to induce people to discuss the respective merits of the two religions, I was either laughed at or insulted.”

The Religion of the Sword
By Abdullah Quilliam – 1891:
“One of the favourite arguments adduced by many advocates of Christianity is that it is an elevating religion, and the harbinger of peace and goodwill towards men, and they frequently attempt to contrast it with Islam, which latter faith they persistently allege to have been propagated from its inception down to the present time at the sword’s point, and although this latter portion of their statement has been over and again disproved, they still reiterate it until its repetition becomes absolutely nauseous”
