A German's View of Islam

ref: This is an email circulated to me that is worth reading. Other posts on this subject can be found by using the search box for muslim or islam.

The author of this

email is Dr . Emanuel Tanya, 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

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.

Now Islamic prayers have been

introduced into Toronto and

other public schools in Ontario,

and, yes, in Ottawa too while

the Lord's Prayer was removed

(due to being so offensive?)

The Islamic way may be

peaceful for the time being in

our country until the fanatics

move in.

In Australia, and indeed in

many countries around the

world, many of the most

commonly consumed food

items have the halal emblem

on them. Just look at the back

of some of the most popular

chocolate bars, and at other

food items in your local

supermarket. Food on aircraft

have the halal emblem, just to

appease the privileged

minority who are now rapidly

expanding within the nation’s

shores.

In the UK, the Muslim

communities refuse to

integrate and there are now

dozens of “no-go” zones within

major cities across the country

that the police force dare not

intrude upon. Sharia law

prevails there, because the

Muslim community in those

areas refuse to acknowledge

British law.

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.

Islam, the Religion from Hell

My comment: The power of Islam rests on murder or the threat of murder. Like the Mafia, Muslim fanatics have power way beyond their numbers. Below, a normally vulgar comedian explains why he rips Christians but will not say anything about Muslims. Next, a European explains what Muslims are doing in Europe.

In this excerpt from a Las Vegas Weekly interview, Penn Jillette explains why he won't cover Islam or Scientology on his TV show, Bullshit!

Let’s talk about your TV show Bullshit! Will you ever run out of theories to debunk and people to expose? If you build a kingdom on bullshit, you're not in danger of running out of it. Our producer says that Teller and I can take any subject in the news and do a credible show on it. Sure, we like to have a villain, something to call "bullshit" on, but if we don't, we can depart from that model.

Are there any groups you won't go after? We haven't tackled Scientology because Showtime doesn't want us to. Maybe they have deals with individual Scientologists —- I'm not sure. And we haven't tackled Islam because we have families.

Meaning, you won’t attack Islam because you’re afraid it’ll attack back ... Right, and I think the worst thing you can say about a group in a free society is that you’re afraid to talk about it—I can’t think of anything more horrific. [...]

You do go after Christians, though ... Teller and I have been brutal to Christians, and their response shows that they’re good fucking Americans who believe in freedom of speech. We attack them all the time, and we still get letters that say, “We appreciate your passion. Sincerely yours, in Christ.” Christians come to our show at the Rio and give us Bibles all the time. They’re incredibly kind to us. Sure, there are a couple of them who live in garages, give themselves titles and send out death threats to me and Bill Maher and Trey Parker. But the vast majority are polite, open-minded people, and I respect them for that.

Why Mr. Anti-Bullshit Won't Call Out Islam or Scientology

Speech given in USA by Dutch conservative:

EUROPE TODAY
Geert Wilders is a Dutch Member of Parliament.


Dear friends,

Thank you very much for inviting me.

I come to America with a mission. All is not well in the old world. There is a tremendous danger looming, and it is very difficult to be optimistic. We might be in the final stages of the Islamization of Europe. This not only is a clear and present danger to the future of Europe itself, it is a threat to America and the sheer survival of the West. The United States as the last bastion of Western civilization, facing an Islamic Europe.

First I will describe the situation on the ground in Europe . Then, I will say a few things about Islam. To close I will tell you about a meeting in Jerusalem .

The Europe you know is changing.

You have probably seen the landmarks. But in all of these cities, sometimes a few blocks away from your tourist destination, there is another world. It is the world of the parallel society created by Muslim mass-migration.

All throughout Europe a new reality is rising: entire Muslim neighborhoods where very few indigenous people reside or are even seen. And if they are, they might regret it. This goes for the police as well. It's the world of head scarves, where women walk around in figureless tents, with baby strollers and a group of children. Their husbands, or slaveholders if you prefer, walk three steps ahead. With mosques on many street corners. The shops have signs you and I cannot read. You will be hard-pressed to find any economic activity. These are Muslim ghettos controlled by religious fanatics. These are Muslim neighborhoods, and they are mushrooming in every city across Europe . These are the building-blocks for territorial control of increasingly larger portions of Europe , street by street, neighborhood by neighborhood, city by city.

There are now thousands of mosques throughout Europe . With larger congregations than there are in churches. And in every European city there are plans to build super-mosques that will dwarf every church in the region. Clearly, the signal is: we rule.

Many European cities are already one-quarter Muslim: just take Amsterdam , Marseille and Malmo in Sweden . In many cities the majority of the under-18 population is Muslim. Paris is now surrounded by a ring of Muslim neighborhoods. Mohammed is the most popular name among boys in many cities.

In some elementary schools in Amsterdam the farm can no longer be mentioned, because that would also mean mentioning the pig, and that would be an insult to Muslims.

Many state schools in Belgium and Denmark only serve halal food to all pupils. In once-tolerant Amsterdam gays are beaten up almost exclusively by Muslims. Non-Muslim women routinely hear 'whore, whore'. Satellite dishes are not pointed to local TV stations, but to stations in the country of origin.

In France school teachers are advised to avoid authors deemed offensive to Muslims, including Voltaire and Diderot; the same is increasingly true of Darwin . The history of the Holocaust can no longer be taught because of Muslim sensitivity.

In England sharia courts are now officially part of the British legal system. Many neighborhoods in France are no-go areas for women without head scarves. Last week a man almost died after being beaten up by Muslims in Brussels , because he was drinking during the Ramadan.

Jews are fleeing France in record numbers, on the run for the worst wave of anti-Semitism since World War II. French is now commonly spoken on the streets of Tel Aviv and Netanya , Israel . I could go on forever with stories like this. Stories about Islamization.

A total of fifty-four million Muslims now live in Europe . San Diego University recently calculated that a staggering 25 percent of the population in Europe will be Muslim just 12 years from now. Bernhard Lewis has predicted a Muslim majority by the end of this century.

Now these are just numbers. And the numbers would not be threatening if the Muslim-immigrants had a strong desire to assimilate. But there are few signs of that. The Pew Research Center reported that half of French Muslims see their loyalty to Islam as greater than their loyalty to France . One-third of French Muslims do not object to suicide attacks. The British Centre for Social Cohesion reported that one-third of British Muslim students are in favor of a worldwide caliphate. Muslims demand what they call 'respect'. And this is how we give them respect. We have Muslim official state holidays.

The Christian-Democratic attorney general is willing to accept sharia in the Netherlands if there is a Muslim majority. We have cabinet members with passports from Morocco and Turkey .

Muslim demands are supported by unlawful behavior, ranging from petty crimes and random violence, for example against ambulance workers and bus drivers, to small-scale riots. Paris has seen its uprising in the low-income suburbs, the banlieus. I call the perpetrators 'settlers'. Because that is what they are. They do not come to integrate into our societies; they come to integrate our society into their Dar-al-Islam. Therefore, they are settlers.

Much of this street violence I mentioned is directed exclusively against non-Muslims, forcing many native people to leave their neighborhoods, their cities, their countries. Moreover, Muslims are now a swing vote not to be ignored.

The second thing you need to know is the importance of Mohammed the prophet. His behavior is an example to all Muslims and cannot be criticized. Now, if Mohammed had been a man of peace, let us say like Ghandi and Mother Theresa wrapped in one, there would be no problem. But Mohammed was a warlord, a mass murderer, a pedophile, and had several marriages - at the same time. Islamic tradition tells us how he fought in battles, how he had his enemies murdered and even had prisoners of war executed. Mohammed himself slaughtered the Jewish tribe of Banu Qurayza. If it is good for Islam, it is good. If it is bad for Islam, it is bad.

Let no one fool you about Islam being a religion. Sure, it has a god, and a here-after, and 72 virgins. But in its essence Islam is a political ideology. It is a system that lays down detailed rules for society and the life of every person. Islam wants to dictate every aspect of life. Islam means 'submission'. Islam is not compatible with freedom and democracy, because what it strives for is sharia. If you want to compare Islam to anything, compare it to communism or national-socialism, these are all totalitarian ideologies.

Now you know why Winston Churchill called Islam 'the most retrograde force in the world', and why he compared Mein Kampf to the Quran.


Many in Europe argue in favor of abandoning Israel in order to address the grievances of our Muslim minorities. But if Israel were, God forbid, to go down, it would not bring any solace to the West. It would not mean our Muslim minorities would all of a sudden change their behavior, and accept our values. On the contrary, the end of Israel would give enormous encouragement to the forces of Islam. They would, and rightly so, see the demise of Israel as proof that the West is weak, and doomed. The end of Israel would not mean the end of our problems with Islam, but only the beginning. It would mean the start of the final battle for world domination. If they can get Israel , they can get everything. So-called journalists volunteer to label any and all critics of Islamization as a 'right-wing extremists' or 'racists'. In my country, the Netherlands , 60 percent of the population now sees the mass immigration of Muslims as the number one policy mistake since World War II. And another 60 percent sees Islam as the biggest threat. Yet there is a greater danger than terrorist attacks, the scenario of America as the last man standing. The lights may go out in Europe faster than you can imagine. An Islamic Europe means a Europe without freedom and democracy, an economic wasteland, an intellectual nightmare, and a loss of military might for America - as its allies will turn into enemies, enemies with atomic bombs. With an Islamic Europe, it would be up to America alone to preserve the heritage of Rome, Athens and Jerusalem .

Dear friends, liberty is the most precious of gifts. My generation never had to fight for this freedom, it was offered to us on a silver platter, by people who fought for it with their lives. All throughout Europe, American cemeteries remind us of the young boys who never made it home, and whose memory we cherish. My generation does not own this freedom; we are merely its custodians. We can only hand over this hard won liberty to Europe 's children in the same state in which it was offered to us. We cannot strike a deal with mullahs and imams. Future generations would never forgive us. We cannot squander our liberties. We simply do not have the right to do so.

We have to take the necessary action now to stop this Islamic stupidity from destroying the free world that we know.

Why do they hate us?

Why do they hate us? Tony Blair talked about the London terror bombings…“in the West there are always those who say that if people hate us it must somehow be our own fault. There is a “grievance culture” that affects young British born Muslims who have been brought up in a country that has provided them complete religious freedom, full democratic rights and a good standard of living. These young men sit in front of their televisions and say “I will go and kill innocent people because of the oppression of Muslims”.

If you look at Muslim oppression you cannot ignore the 1 million who died in the Iran-Iraq war (1980-88) when Saddam attacked Iran and used poison gas. Iran responded with human-wave attacks showing callous disregard to the slaughter. In Iraq today…who is it that is blowing up innocents in the streets?...Muslims with a “grievance”. It has become a war of fear, greed and propaganda. The lies and agitation in the Muslim press are amplified by radical clerics spewing more lies and hatred in their schools and Mosques. This propaganda falls on receptive ears among disgruntled, restless and naïve young Muslims. The thought is then father to the deed.
  

It's a Muslim Problem, It Needs a Muslim Solution

Thomas Friedman is a Pulitzer prize author and columnist for the New York Times. He has shown insight into the Muslim terrorist problem. Here are some excerpts from his columns:

"Why are young Sunni Muslim males, from London to Riyadh and Bali to Baghdad, so willing to blow up themselves and others in the name of their religion? Virtually all suicide bombers, of late, have been Sunni Muslims. There are a lot of angry people in the world. Angry Mexicans. Angry Africans. Angry Norwegans. But the only ones who seem to feel entitled and motivated to kill themselves and totally innocent people, including other Muslims, over their anger are young Sunni radicals. What is going on?

Neither we nor the Muslim world can run away from this question any longer. This is especially true when it comes to people like Muhammad Bouyeri - a Dutch citizen of Moroccan origin who last year tracked down the Dutch filmmaker Theo van Gogh, a critic of Islamic intolerance, on an Amsterdam street, shot him 15 times and slit his throat with a butcher knife. He told a Dutch court on the final day of his trial on Tuesday: "I take complete responsibility for my actions. I acted purely in the name of my religion."

It is hard not to notice two contrasting stories that have run side by side during the past week. One is the story about the violent protests in the Muslim world triggered by a report in Newsweek (which the magazine has now retracted) that U.S. interrogators at Guantánamo Bay desecrated a Koran by throwing it into a toilet. In Afghanistan alone, at least 16 people were killed and more than 100 wounded in anti-American rioting that has been linked to that report. In the same newspapers one can read the latest reports from Iraq, where Baathist and jihadist suicide bombers have killed 400 Iraqi Muslims in the past month - most of them Shiite and Kurdish civilians shopping in markets, walking in funerals, going to mosques or volunteering to join the police.

Yet these mass murders - this desecration and dismemberment of real Muslims by other Muslims - have not prompted a single protest march anywhere in the Muslim world. And I have not read of a single fatwa issued by any Muslim cleric outside Iraq condemning these indiscriminate mass murders of Iraqi Shiites and Kurds by these jihadist suicide bombers, many of whom, according to a Washington Post report, are coming from Saudi Arabia. The Muslim worldÂ’s silence about the real desecration of Iraqis, coupled with its outrage over the alleged desecration of a Koran, highlights what we are up against...

Religiously, if you want to know how the Sunni Arab world views a ShiiteÂ’s being elected leader of Iraq, for the first time ever, think about how whites in Alabama would have felt about a black governorÂ’s being installed there in 1920. Some Sunnis do not think Shiites are authentic Muslims, and are indifferent to their brutalization. At the same time, politically speaking, some Arab regimes prefer to see the pot boiling in Iraq so the democratization process can never spread to their countries. That's why their official newspapers rarely describe the murders of civilians in Iraq as a massacre or acts of terror. Such crimes are usually sanitized as 'resistance' to occupation.

It is essential that the Muslim world wake up to the fact that it has a jihadist death cult in its midst. If it does not fight that death cult, that cancer, within its own body politic, it is going to infect Muslim-Western relations everywhere. Only the Muslim world can root out that death cult. It takes a village. What do I mean? I mean that the greatest restraint on human behavior is never a policeman or a border guard. The greatest restraint on human behavior is what a culture and a religion deem shameful. It is what the village and its religious and political elders say is wrong or not allowed. The Muslim village has been derelict in condemning the madness of jihadist attacks. When Salman Rushdie wrote a controversial novel involving the prophet Muhammad, he was sentenced to death by the leader of Iran. To this day - to this day - no major Muslim cleric or religious body has ever issued a fatwa condemning Osama bin Laden.

Some Muslim leaders have taken up this challenge. This past week in Jordan, King Abdullah II hosted an impressive conference in Amman for moderate Muslim thinkers and clerics who want to take back their faith from those who have tried to hijack it. But this has to go further and wider. The double-decker buses of London and the subways of Paris, as well as the covered markets of Riyadh, Bali and Cairo, will never be secure as long as the Muslim village and elders do not take on, delegitimize, condemn and isolate the extremists in their midst. "

Note from Bill: There are many local and satalite TV stations in the Muslim world that stream constant propaganda that demonizes America, Israel and the non-Muslim world. Terrorist activities are overlsanitizedsanatised. Film of Americans arresting Iraqis will be shown over and over with angry commentary but innocent victims of car bombs are ignored. The Muslim public is taken in by this and the Clerics add their own lies and inflammatory rhetoric. The result is a lot of misinformed, angry people.

Muslims killing Muslims

3/25/2004 7:34 AM
Muslims: (letter to H-T)
Radical clerics have hijacked the Islamic movement worldwide and are turning their followers into murderers. Muslims are killing Hindus in India, Jews in Israel and murdering Christians all over the Middle East. These sinister Emirs preach death and destruction to the infidels (non-Muslims). The Nazis exterminated people based on race. The Communists murdered millions based on their supposed class. Now, the Emir’s are urging genocide for all people who have the wrong religion. For the (male) suicide bombers, the Emirs promise martyrdom in heaven with 72 virgins. This thinking is primitive, superstitious claptrap that should have been left behind in the middle ages. Where are the moderate Muslims? Why are they silent? Why have there been no letters in the H-T on this subject from Muslims.?

Muslims Murdering for Allah:
It is awful how the insurgents are killing Iraqis. This is Muslim murdering Muslim. If you include the nine year Iraq-Iran war and the Iraq invasion of Kuwait the slaughter of Muslims by Muslims in recent times is huge. Bin Laden pretends he is concerned about Americans hurting Muslims while his hands are covered with Muslim blood. The radical Imans and bloodthirsty insurgents slaughter their fellow Muslims like they are cattle and then piously praise Allah. It is disgusting and primitive.
