A German View on Islam

[bluegrass]

> A German's View on Islam
>
> A man, whose family was German aristocracy prior to
World War II, owned a number of large industries and estates. When asked
how many German people were true Nazis, the answer he gave can guide our
attitude toward fanaticism. 'Very few people were true Nazis,' he said,
'but many enjoyed the return of German pride, and many more were too busy
to care. I was one of those who just thought the Nazis were a bunch of
fools. So, the majority just sat back and let it all happen. Then, before
we knew it, they owned us, and we had lost control, and the end of the
world had come. My family lost everything. I ended up in a concentration
camp and the Allies destroyed my factories.'
>
> We are told again and again by 'experts' and 'talking
heads' that Islam is the religion of peace and that the vast majority of
Muslims just want to live in peace. Although this unqualified assertion may
be true, it is entirely irrelevant. It is meaningless fluff, meant to make
us feel better, and meant to somehow diminish the spectre of fanatics
rampaging across the globe in the name of Islam.
>
> The fact is that the fanatics rule Islam at this moment
in history. It is the fanatics who march. It is the fanatics who wage any
one of 50 shooting wars worldwide. It is the fanatics who systematically
slaughter Christian or tribal groups throughout Africa and are gradually
taking over the entire continent in an Islamic wave. It is the fanatics who
bomb, behead, murder, or honour-kill. It is the fanatics who take over
mosque after mosque. It is the fanatics who zealously spread the stoning
and hanging of rape victims and homosexuals. It is the fanatics who teach
their young to kill and to become suicide bombers.
>
> The hard, quantifiable fact is that the peaceful
majority, the 'silent majority,' is cowed and extraneous.
>
> Communist Russia was comprised of Russians who just
wanted to live in peace, yet the Russian Communists were responsible for
the murder of about 20 million people. The peaceful majority were
irrelevant. China 's huge population was peaceful as well, but Chinese
Communists managed to kill a staggering 70 million people.
>
> The average Japanese individual prior to World War II
was not a warmongering sadist. Yet, Japan murdered and slaughtered its way
across South East Asia in an orgy of killing that included the systematic
murder of 12 million Chinese civilians; most killed by sword, shovel, and
bayonet.
>
> And who can forget Rwanda , which collapsed into
butchery. Could it not be said that the majority of Rwandans were 'peace
loving'?
>
> History lessons are often incredibly simple and blunt,
yet for all our powers of reason, we often miss the most basic and
uncomplicated of points:
>
> Peace-loving Muslims have been made irrelevant by their
silence.
>
> Peace-loving Muslims will become our enemy if they don't
speak up, because like my friend from Germany , they will awaken one day
and find that the fanatics own them, and the end of their world will have
begun.
>
> Peace-loving Germans, Japanese, Chinese, Russians,
Rwandans, Serbs, Afghans, Iraqis, Palestinians, Somalis, Nigerians,
Algerians, and many others have died because the peaceful majority did not
speak up until it was too late. As for us who watch it all unfold, we must
pay attention to the only group that counts--the fanatics who threaten our
way of life.




Wake up people...before there's nothing to wake up to anymore.
