FANATICISM RULES THE WORLD

FANATICISM RULES THE WORLD

                                                                                           Stes de Necker

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. The fact is that the fanatics rule Islam at this moment in history.

The Islamic State, also known as the Islamic State of Iraq and al-Sham (ISIS), follows a distinctive variety of Islam whose beliefs about the path to the Day of Judgment matter to its strategy. It is the ISIS fanatics who wage any one of 20 world conflicts worldwide. It is the fanatics who teach their young to kill the infidels; the fanatics who teach their children only those prescripts of the Koran that suits their sick ideology:

1. Slay the unbelievers wherever you find them (2:191)
2. Make war on the infidels living in your neighbourhood (9:123)
3. When opportunity arises, kill the infidels wherever you catch them (9:5)
4. Kill the Jews and the Christians if they do not convert to Islam or refuse to pay Jizya tax (9:29)
5. Any religion other than Islam is not acceptable (3:85)
6. The Jews and the Christians are perverts; fight them (9:30)
7. Maim and crucify the infidels if they criticise Islam. (5:33)
8. The infidels are unclean; do not let them into a mosque (9:28)
9. Punish the unbelievers with garments of fire, hooked iron rods, boiling water; melt their skin and bellies (22:19)
10. Do not hanker for peace with the infidels; behead them when you catch them (47:4)
11. The unbelievers are stupid; urge the Muslims to fight them (8:65)
12. Muslims must not take the infidels as friends (3:28)
13. Terrorise and behead those who believe in scriptures other than the Qur’an (8:12)
14. Muslims must muster all weapons to terrorize the infidels (8:60)

It is time peace loving Muslim, which is estimated to be 75% of all Muslims, start acting before it’s too late to stop the violence in:

1. Afghanistan Extreme radical Fundamentalist Muslim terrorist groups & Osama bin Laden headed a terrorist group called Al Quada (The Source) whose headquarters were in Afghanistan.
2. Bosnia Serbian Orthodox Christians, Roman Catholic, Muslims
3. Cote d'Ivoire Muslims, Indigenous, Christians
4. Cyprus Christians & Muslims
5. East Timor Christians & Muslims
6. Indonesia, province of Ambon Christians & Muslims
7. Kashmir Hindus and Muslims
8. Kosovo Serbian Orthodox Christians, Muslims
9. Kurdistan Christians, Muslims Assaults on Christians (Protestant, Chaldean Catholic & Assyrian Orthodox). Bombing campaign underway.
10. Macedonia Macedonian Orthodox Christians & Muslims
11. Middle East Jews, Muslims
12. Nigeria Christians, Animists, & Muslims
13. Pakistan Suni & Shi'ite Muslims
14. Philippines Christians & Muslims
15. Russia, Chechnya Russian Orthodox Christians, Muslims. The Russian army attacked the breakaway region. Muslims had allegedly blown up buildings in Moscow. Many atrocities have been alleged.
16. Serbia, province of Vojvodina Serbian Orthodox & Roman Catholics, Muslims
17. Sri Lanka Buddhists & Hindus Tamils, Muslims
18. Thailand: Pattani province: Buddists and Muslims
19. Bangladesh: Muslim-Hindu (Bengalis) and Buddists (Chakmas)

The radical movement ISIS's rise to power is no less like the triumph of the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt (a group whose leaders the Islamic State considers apostates) than like the realization of a dystopian alternate reality in which David Koresh or Jim Jones survived to wield absolute power over not just a few hundred people, but some 8 million.

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.

Now Islamic prayers have been introduced into Toronto and other public schools in Ontario and in Ottawa too, while the Lord's Prayer was removed due to being so offensive.

And we are silent.......

Peace-loving Germans, Japanese, Chinese, Russians,  Rwandans, Serbs, Afghans, Iraqis, Palestinians, Somalis, Nigerians, Algerians, Muslims 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.

Fanaticism has spread a scourge of violence around the globe that otherwise simply wouldn’t exist.  It is time for the West to put an end to this horror. 

The rest of the world and in particular the west, needs to get acquainted with the Fanatic’s intellectual genealogy if we are to react in a way that will not strengthen it, but instead help it self-immolate in its own excessive zeal. These conditions all started inconspicuous, but because no one said anything, developed into an all consuming monster.

 Lastly, anyone who doubts that the issue is serious, is contributing to the passiveness that allows the problems to expand. 

I hope that thousands world-wide, will read this and think about it, and share it - before it's too late.
