A man whose family was German aristocracy prior to World War Two 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 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.
