A GERMAN'S VIEW ON  ISLAM!

DR. EMANUAL TANAY, MD, IS A WELL KNOWN AND WELL RESPECTED PSYCHIATRIST.  HE IS ON THE STAFF OF WAYNE ST. UNIVERSITY IN ANN ARBOR, MI.

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 HONOR KILLING. 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  CROWDED 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  SOUTHEAST  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, AFGHANIS, 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.
