speak up ! you good people

A little food for thought.

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 manyenjoyed the return of German pride, and many morewere too busy to care. I was one of those who justthought 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 hadlost control, and the end of the world had come. Myfamily lost everything. I ended up in a concentrationcamp and the Allies destroyed my factories.' We are told again and again by 'experts' and talkingheads' that Islam is the religion of peace, and that thevast majority of Muslims just want to live in peace. Although this unqualified assertion may be true, it isentirely irrelevant. It is meaningless fluff, meant to make us feel better, and meant to somehow diminishthe spectre of fanatics rampaging across the globe inthe name of Islam. The fact is that the fanatics rule Islam at this momentin history. It is the fanatics who march.. It is thefanatics who wage any one of 50 shooting warsworldwide. It is the fanatics who systematicallyslaughter Christian or tribal groups throughoutAfrica and are gradually taking over the entirecontinent in an Islamic wave. It is the fanatics whobomb, behead, murder, or honor kill.. It is thefanatics who take over mosque after mosque. It isthe fanatics who zealously spread the stoning andhanging of rape victims. The hard quantifiable factis that the 'peaceful majority', the 'silent majority',is cowed and extraneous.
