Re: Fanatics ARE a problem. Complacency WILL do us in (Very OT)



Gareth, pay attention to how the present Labour 'government' (aka a mad grab for cash) has truly sold out a number of peoples in the name of [drum roll] oil contracts with Libya.  It's more verifiable and less moldable to a personal philosophy as a matter of convenience.

How curious that you haven't included America and to a lesser extent, the UK. Between them thay have killed a million civillions  in Iraq, fostering the next generation on terrorists in the process. Not to mention the endless meddling in other coutries' businesses. Arming and training where appropriate, pumping money and arms in here and there, turning a blind eye where it suits them and disregarding international law at the drop of a hat.
I could go on - Lets not condemn muslims while endorsing our own grievious misdeeds - that would be gross complacency.

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."

   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 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 30 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 war mongering 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. 800,000 slaughtered.  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.


    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, anyone who doubts that the issue is serious and just deletes this email without sending it on is contributing 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 and think about  it,  and send it on before it's too late.
