THE FOLLOWING IS A "MUST READ."
This is a story about a man whose family was
German aristocracy prior to World War. He 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.
Lastly, at the risk of offending, anyone who
doubts that the issue is serious and just deletes
this email without sending it on, can contribute
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 - think about it - and send it
on. | ..>
