OK
These folks should be able to produce the necessary documentation to prove the links for the generations back to the original “victims”
Without those ...
No case..
Either they have them or they dont...
No geneological historian will listen to them without the bmd for at least the 1st 3 generations and good documentation for the rest..
Grande Tia Maria said wont cut it..
Read Eric Hoffer's politically-incorrect definitive work on the subject "True Believer."
He had no formal education, a California migrant worker during the depression who eventually became a stevedore on the docks of San Francisco, Hoffer wasn't perfect, but no one did a better job of explaining the fall of Germany to the Nazis or why individuals become suicide bombers, or why they become Muslims to begin with, for that matter.
"The uncompromising attitude is more indicative of an inner uncertainty than of deep conviction. The implacable stand is directed more against the doubt within than the assailant without."
We know Islam is less a "religion" than something else. That something else is a mass movement, only superficially different from National Socialism or Communists of every flavor. We would be much further along in the WOT, and more secure, and less in danger generally if Hoffer were required reading, as he was once in many U.S. high schools.
