The Danger of Islam in Europe

The Dangers of Islam in Europe

Islam is arguably the most hated and misunderstood religion in the world.
What is the reason for that?
In part, this is due to the relentless news reports that had filled headlines for the past thirty years. Every crime that had been remotely related to Middle Easterners or Muslims had been branded and labeled negatively.
Believing in stereotypes and promoting generalized statements are not only counterproductive but also dangerous. There are evil men and women in every country, every nation, and every society. Burning all mosques, or banning women from covering themselves, or calling for a Muslim holocaust is not the best way to promote tolerance. In order to live peacefully, with one another, we must be able to remain just and unbiased.

However, most of the world media continues to portray Muslims negatively. This is the way world media works. Muslim-majority nations are the only countries in the world that do not have powerful arsenals, and it is natural for the media and other governments to overlook and often suppress those nations who are weaker in might. Most Muslim-majority nations do not have high-powered guns, or long-range missiles. Islamic countries don’t even have functioning or active military. Almost none of the Muslim countries in the world possess nuclear or chemical weapons. They do not own battle ships or war fleet, and neither do they have submarines and fighter jets.
Yet, despite their utter powerlessness, Muslim are belittled and falsely blamed for hundreds of terrorist attacks, most of which were carried out by mercenaries or independent contractors who wanted it to appear as though Islam was a violent religion.
How were the Germans portraying Jews before the start of the World War?
Nearly eighty years ago, millions of Jews were being rounded up in Buchenwald, Mauthausen and Auschwitz death camps, where the Germans carried out heinous crimes against humanity and hid it from the world. They were exterminating Jews all the while claiming all Jewish people were evil and dangerous and had to be eradicated from Germany in order for the Germans to prosper.
At the end of the World War, German crimes against the Jews and Soviet prisoners of war were exposed and the Nazis could no longer hide their heinous crimes.
But despite witnessing such carnage in history, the world is allowing certain nations to perpetrate hateful ideas of racial, ethnic or religious purity, such as the genocidal killers of the Muslim Rohingya people in Myanmar, which is also known as Burma. It seems that the lessons of Holocaust had not been learnt and Muslims became the new Jews of that era, and every day, Muslim civilians around the world are getting killed, and yet the killers are lauded as the peacemakers and their victims are branded as evil monsters.
Despite the sufferings Muslims have been facing systematically for the past century, the vast majority of the global press brand Muslims as callous criminals, and many nations have called on their governments to ban Muslims from entering their country. Prior to the Second World War, the Nazi government began to impose travel ban on their Jewish population, and slowly began to seize their property and wealth, and froze the bank account of Jewish-Germans who had been living in Germany for centuries. Before 1939, Hitler’s regime permitted some Jews to leave the country, but they were not permitted to take any of their property with them. However, after the World War began in full swing, Jews in Germany and Europe no longer had the luxury to leave. They were instead forced to move into internment camp, which were later turned into extermination camps where millions of Jews and Russian prisoners were executed by the German government.
According to an expert in historical genocide, the world may be witnessing another holocaust soon. And this time, the victims will not be the Jews of Europe, but rather the Muslims of the world.
In these days, Muslims have been framed for various types of crimes, from the September 11, 2001 attacks on the World Trade Center in New York, to the July 7 Subway bombing in London, and more recently, the terrible cult that called themselves ISIS in order to perpetuate false propaganda against the followers of Islam.
Framing a specific religion or group of people was not an unusual practice in Nazi Germany. The Germans didn’t start a holocaust in one day. It was a gradual process of discrimination that led to the mass extermination. Framing incidents similar to the ISIS church bombings, and the 9/11 demolitions, took place five years before the World War in Berlin. The Reichstag fire was a dramatic arson attack on the Reichstag building, home of the German parliament, and the German leader, Adolf Hitler, played upon public and political fears to consolidate power, setting the stage for the rise of Nazi Germany. The Nazi party used the Reichstag fire of 1933 to seize almost unlimited power. After the National Socialists came to power in Germany, the Nazi leaders began to persecute German Jews and during the first six years of Hitler's dictatorship, from 1933 until the outbreak of war in 1939, Jews felt the effects of more than 400 decrees and regulations that restricted all aspects of their public and private lives.
The anti-Semitic laws become the foundation of the Nuremberg Race Laws of 1935, which formalized their segregation from the German Aryan population. In the six years leading to the official holocaust, books written by Jewish authors were publicly burned and Germans were ordered to boycott shops and businesses owned by Jews. The Department of Racial Hygiene was created to orchestrate ethnic cleansing and it banned Jews from colleges, military services, took away voting rights, evicted Jews from their homes, confiscated telephones and radios, forced them to wear armbands and change their names. Jews were forbidden to use public phones and finally, forbidden to leave the country while the German government started a mass extermination. These segregation laws also disallowed shohet by banning kosher slaughter, claiming kashrut was a perverse killing ritual. The Germans claimed to be compassionate to the point that they refused to allow the killing of animals. Even Hitler was vegetarian and suggested banning slaughterhouses altogether. The Nazis were reluctant to take the life of a goat but had no scruples in butchering Jewish women and children. Years before the holocaust began, German civilian extremists would herd Jews into synagogues and force them to dance and feceate in there. Later, those Germans made the Jewish devotees clean up the feces with their prayer shawls and Torah and bible’s Old Testament parchments.

Jews were forbidden to use public phones and finally, forbidden to leave the country while the German government started a mass extermination. Jewish residences were raided as they were forcibly removed and shuttled to extermination camps. The Nazis came up with creative ways to torment the German Jews during the Second World War, justifying their actions by claiming that Jews were somehow responsible for starting the Reichstag fire in 1933.
