1 August 1934
Variant translation:
I am not a pacifist. That is not my attitude. But all my impressions of war are so bad that I could be for it only under the sternest necessity — the necessity of fighting Bolshevism or of defending one's country.

My writings expose me to millions of devout Muslims who have nothing positive to prove but the sheer cruelty of their teachings.
