This is by far the best explanation of the relationship between Islam and
the spreading 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 memoir is Dr. Emanuel Tanya, a well-known and
well-respected psychiatrist. 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, I
like 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 effectively 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 or non believers throughout Africa and
are gradually taking over that 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. It is the fanatics
who lure marginalized youth via social media to some hateful service and
ultimately to their deaths!
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 Oligarchs and
ideologues were responsible for the murder of about 20 million people. The
peaceful majority were irrelevant.. China 's huge population was peaceful as
well, but similarly Chinese extremist ideologues 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
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 and so many peace loving people 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 disregards this
message without sending it on, is contributing to the passiveness that
allows the problems to expand. Let us hope that thousands, world-wide, read
this and think about it.
With a view toward peaceful coexistence our leaders have permitted Islamic
prayers to be introduced into Toronto and other public schools in Ontario,
and, yes, in Ottawa too! While the Lord's Prayer was removed in some
jurisdictions, ( to avoid being offensive?). The Islamic way may be peaceful
for the time being in our country............. until the fanatics move in.
AND WE REMAIN SILENT!....................."
