1120117 2010-07-19 06:19:00 German View of Islam

This is by far the best explanation of the Muslim terrorist situation I have ever read . His references to past history are accurate and clear . Not long, easy to understand, and well worth the read . The author of this email is said to be Dr . Emanuel Tanay, a well-known and well-respected psychiatrist .

A German's View on Islam

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 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 spectre 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 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 . 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 '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 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 .

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 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 .

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, anyone who doubts that the issue is serious might consider they are
contributing to the passiveness that allows the problems to expand .

"6/27/01 On the Death Penalty . . . a letter to the New York Times from Professor of Psychiatry Emanuel Tanay . "

Letter to the Editor of New York Times by Emanuel Tanay, M . D .

I am apprehensive when government has the right to kill citizens who are or are believed to be evil . I have good reasons to be fearful of a state that has the right to kill evil people . For five long years I was on a death row . I was one of the bad people that was State sentenced to death by a civilized State . I am a Holocaust survivor from Poland . In spite of this fact I was opposed the execution of Adolph Eichman in Israel and I am alarmed by the power of American Government to impose the death penalty .

Death penalty does not deter homicide . I am no stranger to murder . I am a forensic psychiatrist who has examined hundreds of homicide perpetrators . Among them were Jack Ruby, Ted Bundy and the Cincinnati Angel of Death who killed more than 50 helpless patients . In that case I testified for the prosecution because a wise prosecutor decided not to seek the death penalty but accepted a guilty plea to life sentence without parole . This was accomplished with the cost of few thousand dollars . The federal government spent millions to execute Timothy McVeigh . What did we gain? Some talk about closure for the families . The execution of the Nazi leadership did not bring closure to the Holocaust survivors . My father, Bronislaw Tenenwurzel, was tortured and killed in front of the entire camp Plaszow by Amon Goeth, the anti-hero of Schindler’s List . Goeth was sentenced by a Polish court to death and hanged . The execution of Amon Goeth did not bring closure to me . Killing the killers validates the belief that killing solves real or imaginary problems . The arguments against death penalty as racist and discriminatory against the poor are self-defeating . They imply that there is a humane and fair way for the state to kill it’s citizens . The right to kill bad people is a dangerous concession to the totalitarian conception of a government .

It is bizarre that a country that did not trust the government to regulate health care is willing to entrust it with the right to kill . "

And, we are talking of a world wide pervasive system,a tricky point I agree.
