A man whose family was German aristocracy prior to World War Two
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 specter 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. The hard quantifiable fact is that
the "peaceful majority" the "silent majority" is cowed and extraneous.
Communist Russia comprised 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, it was peaceful as well, but Chinese
Communists managed to kill a staggering 70 million people.
The average Japanese individual prior to World War 2 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 awake 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.

Tell us, where are all the peace-loving Americans marching and protesting?
Your post is grotesque, and by that I mean bizarre and misshapen. |

Beating Islam will take racism, xenophobia, intolerance and jack booted thugs. Marching won't help.l |

3 in 4 People Shot With Police Tasers ...
Unarmed "Threats" To Public Safety
Mon Nov 19, 11:24 AM
By The Canadian Press
ST. CATHARINES, Ont. - Public Safety Minister Stockwell Day says he's not surprised most people who get Tasered by police are unarmed when it happens.
A Canadian Press analysis of 563 Taser attacks involving the RCMP found 79 per cent of the "suspects" were unarmed at the time. Day says that's because of the some three million people stopped by RCMP each year, the vast majority don't have a weapon.
The high-powered "stun" guns are making headlines around the world following the death of Polish immigrant Robert Dziekanski, who died after being SHOT twice by RCMP officers at Vancouver airport last month.
A videotaped recording of Dziekanski's "clash" with police was publicly released last week.
Day says Tasers are a "necessary tool" to help "defuse" any "situation" where somebody is considered by RCMP to be "at risk" of "hurting others"

All Germans were not Nazis. All Russians were not Communist.
All Muslims are Muslim and all Christians are Christian. Right? |

That's true. In fact, a number of more Asiatic people were recruited to fill the declining German male ranks. |
