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.
