A German's View on IslamA man, whose family was German aristocracy prior to World War II,owned a number of large industries and estates. When asked how manyGerman people were true Nazis, the answer he gave can guide ourattitude toward fanaticism. 'Very few people were true Nazis,' hesaid, 'but many enjoyed the return of German pride, and many more weretoo busy to care. I was one of those who just thought the Nazis were abunch 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, andthe end of the world had come. My family lost everything. I ended upin a concentration camp and the Allies destroyed my factories.'We are told again and again by 'experts' and 'talking heads'thatIslam is the religion of peace, and that the vast majority of Muslim!s just want to live in peace. Although this unqualified assertion maybe true, it is entirely irrelevant. It is meaningless fluff, meant tomake us feel better, and meant to somehow diminish the spectra offanatics rampaging across the globe in the name of Islam.The fact is that the fanatics rule Islam at this moment in history. Itis the fanatics who march. It is the fanatics who wage any one of 50shooting wars worldwide. It is the fanatics who systematicallyslaughter Christian or tribal groups throughout Africa and aregradually taking over the entire continent in an Islamic
wave. It isthe fanatics who bomb, behead, murder, or honor-kill. It is thefanatics who take over mosque after mosque. It is the fanatics whozealously spread the stoning and hanging of rape victims andhomosexuals. It is the fanatics who teach their young to kill and tobecome suicide bombers.The hard quantifiable fact is that the peaceful majority, the 'silentmajority', is cowed and extraneous.Communist Russia was comprised of Russians who just wanted to live inpeace, yet the Russian Communists were responsible for the murder ofabout 20 million people. The peaceful majority were irrelevant.China's huge population was peaceful as well, but Chinese Communistsmanaged to kill a staggering 70 million people.The average Japanese individual prior to World War II was not awarmongering sadist. Yet, Japan murdered and slaughtered its wayacross South East Asia in an orgy of killing that included
thesystematic murder of 12 million Chinese civilians; most killed bysword, shovel, and bayonet.And, who can forget Rwanda , which collapsed into butchery. Could itnot be said that the majority of Rwandans were 'peace loving'?History lessons are often incredibly simple and blunt, yet for all ourpowers of reason we often miss the most basic and uncomplicated ofpoints: Peace-loving Muslims have been made irrelevant by theirsilence. Peace-loving Muslims will become our enemy if they don'tspeak up, because like my friend from Germany , they will awaken oneday and find that the fanatics own them, and the end of their worldwill have begun.Peace-loving Germans,Japanese,Chinese,Russians, Rwandans, Serbs,Afghans, Iraqis, Palestinians, Somalis, Nigerians, Algerians, and manyothers have died because the peaceful majority did not speak up untilit was too late.As for us who watch it all unfold, we
must pay attention to the onlygroup that counts; the fanatics who threaten our way of life.Lastly, anyone who doubts that the issue is serious and just deletesthis email without sending it on, is contributing to the passivenessthat allows the problems to expand. So, extend yourself a bit and sendthis on and on and on! Let us hope that thousands, world wide, readthis and think about it, and send it on - before it's too late.
