A German's view on Islam
-letter
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. -- by

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.
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.
