Peace-loving............. vs....... Fanaticism....?

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 serve as an 'objective' though historic factual guide of 'fanaticism in reality'......

"Very few people were true Nazis," he said, "but many enjoyed the return of German pride, and many more were too busy to care......"

He continued by saying........

"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. 

.....who wage any one of 50 shooting wars worldwide. 

.....who systematically slaughter Christian or tribal groups throughout Africa and are gradually taking over the entire continent in an Islamic wave. 

.....who bomb, behead, murder, or honour-kill. 

.....who take over mosque after mosque. 

.....who zealously spread the stoning and hanging of rape victims and homosexuals. 

.....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 40 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 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 the person  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, SOUTH AFRICANS ...... & 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 of whatever prideful, justified ideology, they might believe in (that is NOT based on principles of 'Love' for thy 'neighbor'),  who threaten our way of life.
(Would it be justified to categorize...... radical, outspoken Julius Malema & co.......in SA also, -as fanatical ?),

Lastly, anyone who doubts that the issue is serious and just ignores this, is contributing to the passiveness that allows the problems to expand. 

So, extend yourself a bit and 'wake up' & think about it.........,  -before it's too late....!

Shalom
