[1] Dockter now serves as the President and CEO of the East Tennessee Historical Society in Knoxville, TN.

According to Dockter, Churchill's often quoted criticism of Islam was written during a time of a fundamentalist revolt in Sudan and this statement does not reflect his full views of Islam as a religion, which were "often paradoxical and complex."

He could be critical but at times "romanticized" the Islamic world; he exhibited great "respect, understanding and magnanimity.

[5] Winston Churchill's future sister-in-law expressed concerns about his fascination by stating, "[p]lease don't become converted to Islam; I have noticed in your disposition a tendency to orientalism."
