It's like asking us to feel sorry for the plight of the Germans in 1945.

I've never understood the position of Germans who lived during the Nazi reign. Anti-Jewish propaganda, Jewish hatred and complete admittance by the Nazi party of plans to exterminate all Jews from Germany followed by the rest of the world wasn't exactly hid. Now many claim they didn't realize what was happening.

I know most Germans didn't know about the concentration camps, their location or what was actually happening there since it wasn't released by the Nazi party, but just what did the German population think was happening to the Jews being forced out of Germany in droves?

What about those in Austria, Romania and Poland who lived near the camps and/or near the train lines bringing Jews to them.

I wasn't around then, I've only personally known one person who lived in Germany during the Nazi reign and she was a little girl at the time. Her claim is she and her family didn't know what was happening.

I honestly do not know what to believe on that issue.

But then, I can't understand those who claim Islam is some benign religion of peace with only a small sect of radical fundamentalists who give it a bad name.

Pick 100 terrorist acts worldwide in the last 10 years and you'll find 99 of them were committed by Muslims. Yet we still find those who honestly believe Muslims do not constitute a threat to the world.
