Entirely Irrelevant

.
I'm not sure who the author of the following article is. It was one of many that was filtered through the Thought Dock portal and it drives home the message of many of my prior posts.
The references to past history are accurate and clear.

Aman, whose family was German aristocracy prior to World WarII, 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.

A German's View

Very few people were true Nazis, 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, we had lost control, and our world ended.

We are told again and again by "experts" and the "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 spectre off anatics 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. 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 "vast silent majority," is cowed and extraneous.

Communist Russia was comprised of Russians who just wanted to live inpeace, yet the Russian Communists were responsible for the murder of 40 million people. The peaceful, vast majority were irrelevant.

China'shuge 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 itsway 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 vast majority of Rwandans were "peaceloving"?

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 oftheir 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 peacefulmajority 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!

From my perspective, most of us fail to link the ideology of Islamism to acts of jihad. Jihadists do what they do because they believe in the call to jihad. Our belief that they will assimilate or become part of the melting pot we call America simply will not happen. It is the opinion of the Thought Dock that to take the attitude of see no jihad, hear no jihad, and speak no jihad, will result with the end of life in America as we know it.
