Jonah Goldberg: The Swastika and the Scimitar

Like a lot of ordinary Germans in the 1930s, the Islamic street has no problem with accepting this vile antisemitism and either actively or tacitly supports the Islamofacists.

Most of the "German street" were unaware of the mass murders. The death camps were hidden from ordinary citizens.

I was aware of the connection before, but the video provided by backhoe was definitely a bigtime underscoring of the level of collaboration between the two. Two peas in a pod. I have been using Islamonazis to describe the mohammedans for a while and admit that I borrowed it from some other FReeper but can't remember who. It is truly fitting.

Throughout history, the "irreconcilable enemy of Islam" has conspired and schemed and "oppressed and persecuted 40 million Muslims," he said. In Palestine, the Jews are establishing "a base from which to extend their power over neighboring Islamic countries."

That's kinda strange, since history is far older than 14 centuries. The sunny outlook is, Moslems won't be oppressed and persecuted for another 14 centuries, no reason...

There's nothing like seeing it with your own eyes, is there?

I sent that to my wife's church group.

"And, again, too many in the unspotless West are saying, 'they can't be serious.'"

Oh, yes. They are.

Are we?

The Saudi government warned "against hurling charges of terrorism and fascism at Muslims without regard to the spotless history of Islamic civilization."

Yeeeaaahhh...

The connections between Nazism and Islam have been throughly documented.
They are a matter of historical record.

And something left out of the high school world-history class
I had a few decades ago.

I suspect I missed it because the class was taught by one of the
football coaches (nice guy, no scholar).

I suspect today's kids don't hear it due to politically-correct
white-washing (just plain old revisionism).

Very interesting. Those who don't remember history....

My husband likes to relate a comment made by a young woman in a college class, she was commenting on a holocaust movie, said "oh, that didn't really happen, it was just a movie".

See the first paragraph under the heading "Our Failure, Our Duty"

Muslim + Nazi = MAZI.

I like it! In WWII they were one and the same, what they did to the Jews.

Mazi.... Good, you have done a public service.

Of course, there is a Hitler-cult among Arab Muslims ("O Hitler, O he of blessed memory!") and Mein Kampf in Arabic is a runaway best seller. Haj Amin al-Husseini lobbied Hitler to prevent Jews being shipped out of Europe to Palestine (which Heinrich Himmler had been only too glad to do, if the price was right).

Arab Muslims have worshipped Nazis for decades. Their shared Jew-hatred is the Arabs' ticket to being seen as truly white.
