Another email I received.

[FONT=Arial]I Know some of you will say “don’t send me this shit”, But I DO feel it nessesary[/FONT]

[FONT=Arial]Please read it[/FONT]

[COLOR=green][FONT=Times New Roman]Common sense thinking should rationalize just how true this is. I keep telling everyone that we Americans have become so gullible in our American comfort that we cannot see what is happening around us every day. How far down the toilet can we get before we realize that we have to do something about it? Something worse than Hitler ever was is taking over the world. [/COLOR][/FONT]

[COLOR=black]A German’s point of view on Islam [/COLOR]

[COLOR=black]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. [/COLOR][COLOR=black]“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.” [/COLOR][COLOR=black]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. [/COLOR][COLOR=black]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 of fanatics rampaging across the globe in the name o f Islam. The fact is that the fanatics rule Islam at this moment in history. [/COLOR][COLOR=black]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 honour 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. [/COLOR][COLOR=black]Communist Russia was comprised of 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 was peaceful as well, but Chinese Communists managed to kill a staggering 70 million people. [/COLOR][COLOR=black]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. [/COLOR][COLOR=black]And, who can forget Rwanda, which collapsed into butchery. Could it not be said that the majority of Rwandans were “peace loving”?[/COLOR][COLOR=black] 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. [/COLOR][COLOR=black]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 of their world will have begun.[/COLOR][COLOR=black] Peace -loving Germans, Japanese, Chinese, Russians, Rwandans, Serbs, Afghanis, Iraqis, Palestinians, Somalis, Nigerians, Algerians, and many others have died because the peaceful majority did not speak up until it was too late. [/COLOR][COLOR=black]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.[/COLOR][COLOR=black] Lastly, at the risk of offending, anyone who doubts that the issue is serious and just deletes this email without sending it on is contributing 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. [/COLOR]

It was broken into paragraphs but it changed when I copy and pasted it.(Sorry)
OK, tell me how bad this email is.

It’s bad enough we all get spam e-mails, you know in that whole e-mail thing.

Tribal warfare in Rwanda. Muslims are bad. Got it. :tup:

what kind of spam list are you on?

Religion has been used by fanatics to justify murder since human society first started.

But if a large percentage of today’s fanatics are a member of a certain religion it’s not PC to discuss it, only to discuss that the majority of that religion are peaceful.

So you guys don’t think there is any logic or truth to that email?

Well that fact that it is calling for action without actually specifying what that action needs to be tells me that it is just spreading hate under the guise of a call to action. Sorry but I’m not going to draw a connection between peacful Muslims and Nazi’s, Hutu’s, etc.

I think you can safely make the arguement that there are a lot more extremists who follow Islam than any other religion in the present day. The Mohammed cartoon riots are a perfect example of how a number of Islamic followers are willing to resort to violent confrontation over what most of the modern world considered trivial. But considering how many people follow Islam in the world the extremists are not the majority.

How about telling proper authorities who the terrorists are and where they are?!?!?
I thought this was common sense.

It is like when there is a shooting in the ghetto and everyone(including witnesses) plays dumb.

There are 1.5 billion followers of Islam. Even if you count the few hundred thousand who protested and rioted over the Mohammed cartoons that less than 1%.

I am not sure what your point is.
I would consider a few hundred thousand a threat whether it is 1% or 50%.

Well I guess I don’t get it. What is the point of this email?

Muslims are some of the most evil people even though percentage wise, they are not. Action must be taken to quell the Muslims. Sounds like an email created with the help of Anne Colter.

I “think” the point of this email is to start world war 3? It encourages us to have fear against muslims in general. Since we can’t exactly go into a village and yell “all the militants come over here, all the peaceful ones go about your business” it encourages us to fear all of them and to blame the quiet ones for not stopping the militant ones. Thus, all are evil and need to be stopped?

Just another e-mail trying to prove a point, and inspire a general fear using past events.

Fuck it, lets ignore what has happened and not learn from it and just hope for the best in the future.
Notice I said hope and not pray.

Wow. Its is 2008 now, right?

:springville:

Do you realize how many crusades your statement applies to? Consider the history of man over the last 3000 years… even if you just take the stale version from grade school textbooks…

you know, nevermind.
