Very Interesting...

Just got this forwarded to me. Worth a read.

Quote:
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.

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.'


Today, 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 spectra 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.



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 posers 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.




Emanuel Tanay, M.D.

I wonder why peace loving western groups (ie: americans) are not in this group and yet have committed similar crimes against humanity? Violence is much easier when you can push the blame on someone else...

well right off in the beginning he did substitute it for european.

it could be the left, it could be the right.

both extremes of the spectrum have perpetrated horrors of massive proportions. from the left: Pol Pot and the Khmer Rouge, or the right: obviously, the Nazis.

but hey, at least here's a thread that's not just some more boring banter. ;)

Yeah, but at some point you gotta call Godwin's.

I think John's point is moreso that Islamic fanatics are not the only fanatics that are currently guiding religious fanatical policies. One need only look to the Bible Belt and their influence on Washington & the media to see that.

Right on the money Dave!

That's also what disturbs me. So many people know of the Islamic Republic of Iran, an extremist theocracy... But there's an even larger one just to the south of us. Just with a prettier name.

At least if they invade us, I'll be the last one to be over-run. lol

“Look at you in war—what muttons you are, and how ridiculous! There has never been a just one, never an honorable one—on the part of the instigator of the war. The loud little handful as usual will shout for the war….Next, the statesmen will invent cheap lies, putting the blame upon the nation that is attacked, and every man will be glad of those conscience-soothing falsities, and will diligently study them, and refuse to examine any refutations of them, and thus, he will by and by convince himself that the war is just and will thank God for the better sleep he enjoys after this process of grotesque self-deception.”
