Was Hitler a Muslim?


For the last few days, I've been receiving hundreds of messages condemning, swearing, cursing Israel and the Jews. Messages that were supposed to be sent in support of Palestinians and the world peace. One of these messages cited from Hitler's book. "I destroyed Jews but left few so that the world knows why I was killing them". One freak acquaintance even kept it as his personal message on FB with his freakier friends commenting 'Hail Hitler' 'Kill all Jews' 'Down with Israel, AllahuAkbar'. What precious thoughts. A benchmark example of how ridiculous we are as a nation with absolutely no idea of what we are talking about. I hate to be so harsh when I truly believe that Israeli attack on Gaza is an extremely inhumane and barbaric act. But what about us? Who the hell we think we are? What the f**k we actually want?

Let me put it this way, if we hate the Jews so much, why shouldn't the Jews hate us with same intensity? If we want to annihilate them, why shouldn't they wish the same?

We so talk about peace but don't understand its fundamentals. Peace is just an outlook. A view that testifies that all processes are running smooth. These may be contrasting but they are co-existing. Just like your car. You can't talk about peace with 5% of your elites using 70% of the total wealth. Last week I visited seven different cities of Sindh and the conditions there are shattering. Infra-human, literally. I would've looked like a joker if I had talked about peace, patriotism and equality with those hungry insect like humans crawling out there. Their hunger was disturbing.

Peace evolves from equality and not from master slave mindsets. Equality doesn't exist anywhere and we are The epitome of that master-slave mindset. Think about it and you'll realize that in the disguise of peace, we all are actually mourning over our present status. Hate it but you can't run away from it. Yes, we are weaker, the losers. Yes, in the current world scenario, we have forced ourselves in a position where half of the Muslim world is crumbling economically and the other half doesn't have any idea what to do with all its resources. We are handicapped. We are dependent. We love to be at western universities, read their books, watch their shows, eat their hamburger, wear their brands, fantasize their bodies, and Oh! Alhamdulillah, I'm a Muslim.

When I see rallies and protests and demonstrations in favor of those innocents getting butchered in Gaza, I feel that we actually have nothing to do with it, at all. We are not supporting them. We are actually disclosing our helpless-ness, our frustration. We all believe somewhere in our hearts that since we are THE Muslims, we have a right to rule. We want to be The masters, we fucking don't want peace. We want the chabuk in our hands. We so hate the Jews we want to torture them out of this world, just in the likings of Hitler's concentration camps.

I believe, talking about peace is just a bull-shit way to comfort ourselves. To run away from reality that we can't do anything. Peace is nothing but a forged ideology with life from cosy dining rooms to stinking toilets.

Those who are suffering and those fighting, I haven't heard them talk about peace. Its simple: When you can't confront, you follow.

I agree. To some extent, though. Peace is a very real and very achievable concept, if not on a governmental or international level then at least between people ourselves, if ONLY we could set aside our personal prejudices, which isn't impossible or a completely obsolete hope. Not ALL Muslims believe that we have the right to rule. I don't. We just need a change in thinking; I like to think there's still hope.

Survival of the fittest. Many muslims -read our school bombing bretheren up north- believe that the flourishing of Islam and political power are one and the same thing.
No Hitler was not a Muslim. He IS Just a very real Ghost haunting Humanity.
Protesting for peace aint bad.. ...unless u want to launch a jihad.

The start was good (in particular the first para), by the end it seems like a lost rambling full of anger and f words. Its fashionable but not necessarily true to stereotype all Muslims as warmongers.

I read a quote or should I say a woman's wish and it really touched me, made me wish for the same!
"I dream of giving birth to a child, who will ask me' mom, what was war?'"
I pray as a woman and as a mother of child who will only know of humanity and love and nothing of war!!

Our fore-fathers had warned us about such state quite along time ago, but never do we gain experience from the past, and never do we work to make our present a better place to live. We are running after the future which is yet to come or may be not. U Really have found the true aspect of the current scenario.
