Forgive me for writing this, but I do have a concern that is not at all popular right now.
The concern is the power of propaganda.
What was it that promoted otherwise sane and upright citizens during WWII to allow the round up and destruction of millions of Jews.
What was it that allowed otherwise sane and upright citizens during WW11 to allow the round up, confiscation of property and placing in refugee camps thousands of Japanese.
It was propaganda. It was taking every possible accusation and embellishing it to make the people slated for extinction look as evil as possible.
Try to look at that article realistically.
1. It's a terrible crime. Anyone killing someone else is a murderer and needs to be dealt with by law. No question on that.
2. Throughout history, we have had accounts when a muslim "turns" and goes into some type of work that speaks against muslim culture, they are at risk with their lives. This is what happened in the article, the woman threatened was ex-Muslim and had dishonored her culture, according to the Muslim mind-set.
We all agree that, that type of control over their own people is revolting to us.
No question on that either.
But now let's move into the propaganda.
"the arrival of jihad in the Netherlands"
Was it really a declaration of holy war against the country?
Or was it just following the cultural policy (bad as we might see that in itself)?
From the article itself, it appears it was the latter, and even though we don't agree one bit with that type of thinking and action, yet the conclusion the article draws would then be propaganda and not fact.
Now, the letter had some pretty chilling words in it. It was definately a death threat to the lady to which it was addressed.
We do not agree with that type of thing AT ALL.
However, the rest of the "threat"--
what Great Day is the writer speaking about when all these nations will go down.
The propaganda twist tends to make people believe the muslims have some day set apart when they are going to torture the whole world and drench it in blood.
However, I don't see that in the writing. I see a religious fanatic reminding this woman that Allah is going to destroy all evil and injustice on that great day. Maybe I'm wrong, but when some speaks of "that great day" in which nations go down, it seems to be speaking of the end of the world.
I don't at all agree with his methods, however,--
Our own Bibles tell us similar things about knashing of teeth, weeping and wailing, all earthly kingdoms being destroyed, etc. etc.
But back to the article--
they know who the man is--
The just thing to do is put him in prison, lock him up. They know about his "criminal organization" -- they need to go after that organization.
But to heighten hatred against,
about 300,000 Moroccan immigrants in the Netherlands, is not right.
Already these immigrants are being harrassed from all sides. Their mosques being burnt etc.
It is said "These people don't want to change our society, they want to destroy it,"
Is that true of all 300,000?
I bet from all those 300,000 most of them are happy to simply live their lives in peace.
I also wonder how many other murders happened in the last few days in the Neatherlands, that had nothing to do with muslims?
Society is no longer safe, even if there are no muslims anywhere near.
