whoaaaaaah now wait a minute

First of all I think it unfair to use broad sweeping statements to peg a whole race of people. Guess what? You find extermists in every religion. And as for Islam, there are four schools of thought and WHABIS (the Saudi crew) are not one of them. In Saudi and many other Islamic countries, they practice a brand of Islam that is not agreed upon nor accepted by the majority. In fact these countries have their people living in fear...and trust me they are not happy that these people are in power. Prime example is Egypt...where neighbour snitches on neighbour, where they live in fear of the secret police and basically toe the party line so that they do not lose their homes, businesses or end up doing time. But people, this is not Islam! This is a few people telling the "West" what Islam is. I wish nothing more than they would all come down with lock-jaw.

As for the Croat/Nazi connection.....

No mention is made of the other countries that were cheerleaders for Hitler and his merry band. America would have not been involved with WW2 if Japan had not bombed Pearl Habour. And the British would have been doing the goose step...not raving the night away. Churchill was so sure that he was going to lose the war. Let's not forget about the Ship of Fools. No one wanted to accept these people. Then you have France who was more than thrilled with what was going on. They are still notorious anti this and anti that.

So I guess my long winded point is this....not everyone in Croatia was polishing up their arm bands and growing the micro mustache...forgotten are the great number of Muslims who fought, and fought hard against what they saw happening.
Just as many Germans tried to fight but were given a one way ticket to the ovens. (Talk to my grandfather, he was beaten, interned and my family which once numbered 100s is now down to 5.) Many people came out of poverty and decided it was easier to go along than to be slaugtered. Many did it to protect their families. Many of us are here today because our great grandparents and grandparents decided to just go with the flow. But do not try to make a connections between Islam and Nazis, just as I do not make a connection between Americans and bingo halls and trailer parks.

A question...would you go along with something that you morally or religiously disagreed with to keep your daughter from being raped....from your children being starved to death, from you getting a bullet to the head? If you said yes, and really mean it...you have my respect....to those who said no...you are human.
