I BELIEVE THE FOLLOWING IS A "MUST READ."  by Bill Davis
 
A man whose family was German aristocracy prior to World War  Two 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 majorit y 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.
