Down the dusty road of history it is not difficult to locate tyrannies, and ideologies, hell-bent on the domination of mankind. The Killing Fields of Cambodia, the slaughter of his own people by Stalin, and the genocide of millions of Jews by Hitler are but a few examples. During the rise of these government factions I am sure that their vision of the future was not one of carnage and blood flowing down the war torn ravines of history. Their imaginings of the future were ones of people rising up together, working together, doing whatever is best for the common good.
The trouble with past tyrannies is not that they decided to become these nationalistic war machines bent on rising to power on a platform of violence, pride, and aggression. I am sure that they believed some clashes and aggressive actions would occur, and of course a certain level of pride was involved. But I truly wonder if what transpired in the form of war and death had even occurred to these rising leaders as history unfolded before them.
Tyrannical governments, like the one that rose in Germany during the 1930s, was not only due to the fact that a man like Adolf Hitler had aspirations to be more than just the president of the down-trodden nation. He said the right things to the right people at the right time. He was charismatic. Hitler was almost Messiah-like. But in the end, it was not Hitler that rose to power on his own accord, but that the people that ignored the signs of tyranny allowed Adolf Hitler to rise to power and enslave them. The people were so hungry for something different than what they had, that anything was acceptable. Anything, as long as it was a change from what they had been experiencing.
For the good fortune of the world, few people on the outside looking in were like Neville Chamberlain. The Greatest Generation knew evil when they saw it. They recognized that truth always stands against the tide of evil, and though to proclaim one side was right, and the other side was wrong, would be met today with scorn, it was that stance by our grandfathers that enabled the United States and the allies to defeat Germany, and the Axis Powers of Italy, and Japan.
I would like to take a journey down another timeline, however. Imagine, if you will, what would have happened if in the face of evil the Americans and British had determined that it was wrong for them to label Nazi Germany as evil. "After all," said the people in this imaginary revision of history, "we are not angry at all of the Nazis. We only wish to smack the hand of the radical Nazis who have hijacked this peaceful Nationalistic Party of Germany and have twisted it to mean something else."
Imagine, if in this imaginary world of history, that the United States allowed Nazis to set up training centers in the United States, to teach other Nazis the heritage of their ideology. Nazi neighborhoods in European countries began to demand that they run their communities based on Nazi Law, rather than the local laws, and these regions become so infected with strife that even local law enforcement stays out of the areas.
Whenever a citizen of the United States, or any of the European countries, spoke about Nazism it would always bring controversy and outcries. Even non-Nazis that have never really experienced Nazism gets upset anytime someone speaks ill of the poor, misunderstood ideology. Nazism is peaceful, these people cry out, and whoever criticizes Nazism becomes characterized as a racist bigoted Nazi-phobe. Millions demonstrate when church leaders proclaim the evil of Nazism, and the President of the United States pays homage to Hitler by proclaiming that Hitler's presidency is the same as his, and what Hitler is doing is completely legal because if falls under the current laws of Germany. Then, the President of the United State pays a visit to Germany, in a hope to mend relations between the United States and the people of Germany, bowing down and kissing Hitlers ring during the visit.
Nazi Germany invades Poland, and the other leaders of the world allow it because the two-state solution between Prussia and Poland is necessary. After all, there are a lot of Germans that live in Poland, and the Poles have been wrong for keeping all of Poland for themselves.
One by one, nations fall under Nazi law, and all along, the United States blames it on radical Nazis, not Nazism as a whole.
How would our world look today if that had been the attitude?
Understand, we were not at war with the German people. The Germans were deceived by an evil Nazi ideology that eventually became a threat to the stability of the entire globe. It infiltrated the nations of Europe as her Japanese ally began to swallow up territories in the Pacific. Hitler, under the tutelage of Islam, slaughtered millions of Jews, just as Islam of today wishes to do to Israel, Jews worldwide, and anyone (especially Christians) that rejects Islam as the one and only true religion. Germany was a world power that was wounded and appeared nearly dead, just as Islam was before our modern age.
Nazi Germany was a less deceiving enemy. Their aggression was obvious, and could not be ignored. Islam uses a Trojan Horse called "peace," and a tool called "religion," to grow, invade, and change the very foundations and constitutions of the nations they rise up in. They know that we have come to the point of fearing that we may be offensive to them if we say the truth. That is their greatest weapon, because The West will not stand up to them and make our case. We fearfully resign to proclaiming that the ideology is a peaceful one hijacked by radicals, while history tells us that Islam is, and always has been, an ideology that uses war and terror to grow. Muslims waged war on the Roman Empire, Persia, and even the United States during Jefferson's presidency. Islam has made their point loud and clear. Islam is peace when all of the world is Islamic. War will be upon you until you are willing to accept Islam as your own religion.
A worldwide caliphate is the goal, and they will use whatever means necessary to achieve it.
