I've been reading a lot over the last few months about how Americans are bowing to the will of the minority. Foot baths have been installed in a Midwestern airport so the Muslim cab drivers can wash their feet. A young Muslim woman was not allowed to play in a soccer game because she was wearing a headdress, as required by her religion. Ramadan is talked about in public schools, but Christmas is a dirty word. The list goes on and on.
I've also read recently about a man who owned some large estates and businesses in Germany before the Nazis came to power. He ended up in a concentration camp and Allies forces destroyed his factories. When asked about the power that gripped that country in the 1940's, his answer spoke volumes about 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. " Before he knew it, the Nazis owned the country and its citizens and the "end of the world had come."
Today's world isn't that much different. We're told by CAIR and other Islamic representatives that Muslims are a peaceful, loving people. Sure, I believe that's true, but for all of CAIR's pomp and bravado concerning the matter, the fact still remains that it is irrelevant. The relevant fact in his world is now that hot-blooded fanatics now rule Islam.
Take a look in your own view of history. Who marches with picket signs? Fanatics, right? Who demonstrates? Fanatics. Who wages war on innocent people? Fanatics.
Look at the genocide that's gone on in the world. Who carried it out? Fanatics. Who stones rape victims and homosexuals? Fanatics.
I don't agree with a lot of the things that go on in this world. I think homosexuality is a cancer that will eventually kill us as it did the people in Sodom and Gomorrah. But I will not stone those who practice it.
You know what happened in Germany? Everyone wanted to live in peace and so no one stirred up the bucket when the Nazis started to take over. You know what happened in Russia before the Communists took over? Everyone wanted to live in peace and so no one rocked the boat when the Communists started to kill their opponents.
Do you want more examples? Do you know what happened in China before the Chinese Communists killed 70 million people? The silent majority sat and did nothing. The average Japanese citizen just wanted to live in peace just before World War II. Certainly none of them suspected that their government would kill an estimated 12 million Chinese civilians. Would they have remained silent had they suspected? I'm certain they would not.
All of these people, the vast majorities of their population, were silent. In being silent, they were made irrelevant by the tyrannical movements that overtook their countries.
Today, peace-loving Islam is becoming irrelevant, too. It's not the majority of Islam, which in my opinion is peace-loving, that is butchering innocent people in Afghanistan, Iran, Iraq, and other countries around the world. It's not the people at CAIR who are waging war against the West. It's the fanatics who are doing all of this. But the fact remains that peace-loving Muslims have been made irrelevant by their silence.
It's time for those peace-loving yet silent Muslims to speak up. If they don't, they will become our enemy, just like the fanatics. We will all wake up one day and find that the fanatics own them, just like the Germans did, just like the Russians did, just like the Chinese and Japanese did.
It's time for organizations like CAIR to condemn the atrocities being perpetrated by their so-called brothers. When that happens, I'll rest a little easier. But for now, the silent majority is still just that, silent.
