Louella on 'Fanatics and Peace lovers past & preasant'.

A man whose family was German aristocracy prior to
World War 2 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 specter 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 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. The hard quantifiable fact
is that the "peaceful majority" the "silent
majority" is cowed and extraneous.

Communist Russia comprised 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, it was peaceful as well,
but Chinese Communists managed to kill a staggering
70 million people.

The average Japanese individual prior to World War 2
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 from
Germany, they will awake 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, at the risk of offending, anyone who doubts
that the issue is serious and just deletes this
email without sending it on, can contribute 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 - think about it - and send it on.
