A German's view of Islam
This is by far the best explanation of the Muslim
terrorist situation I have ever read.
His references to past history are accurate and clear.
Not long, easy to understand, and well worth the read.
The author of this email is said to be Dr. Emanuel Tanay,
a well-known and well-respected psychiatrist.
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 spectra 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 honor-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.
Lastly, anyone who doubts that the issue is serious
and just deletes this email without sending it on, is
contributing to the passiveness that allows the problems to expand.
So, extend yourself a bit and send this on and on and on!
Let us hope that thousands, world wide, read this and
think about it, and send it on - before it's too late.
