Holocaust Remembrance Day
By Dionysis Theodorou
Today, as we remember the more than six million Jews that were helplessly murdered during the Second World War, let us also remember that the perpetrators of this heinous crime had been declaring their purpose long before it transpired.
Mein Kampf was first published in 1925, long before its author came to power and years before any concentration camps and gas chambers had been built. In Mein Kampf, or My Struggle, Adolf Hitler expressed his hatred for the Jewish nation and outlined plans for the total extermination of the Jews from Europe and from the world.
His warnings were all but ignored by world leaders. The tragedy that followed could have been minimised had Hitler been taken at his word and had strict and united measures been taken against him by world leaders. Instead, indifference and denial reigned supreme.
It is interesting that Winston Churchill called Mein Kampf "the new Koran of faith and war: turgid, verbose, shapeless, but pregnant with its message." Today, Islamist followers of the Koran promise a much greater holocaust aimed first at America and Israel and then at all unbelievers, or infidels, as we are called.
The word Jihad means struggle. In the introduction to the Koran it is stated that "Islam is the willing submission to Allah and the active attainment of peace through conflict." The conflict is global terrorism and the infiltration of our society by Islamists with the declared goal of destroying America and Israel and establishing a global Islamic State under Islamic Shariah law. President Ahmadinejad of Iran is quickly moving forward in his pursuit of nuclear weapons and he proudly claims that he will use them against America, Israel and the unbelievers.
Islamic culture is different than our western Judeo-Christian culture. Children in Islamic nations are taught to love and glorify death as much as we love life. Mutual Assured Destruction, which was a deterrent against the use of nuclear weapons during the cold war, is actually an incentive for Islamists. They want to create chaos and wash the world in blood, because according to their writings, to which they faithfully adhere, the Islamic messiah will only come during a time of unprecedented destruction, chaos and bloodshed. Ahmadinejad starts every speech by asking Allah to hasten the return of the twelfth Imam, the Islamic messiah. He believes that he and the Islamic Republic of Iran have a prophetic duty to create the necessary circumstances for the ushering in of the twelfth imam and a time of world peace under Islam.
The world is in denial. People are not paying attention. People are indifferent, not interested.
Can we do anything to stop the unfolding of events predicted thousands of years ago in the Bible? We cannot. We can, nevertheless, be informed so that we can have an educated opinion to express when we are asked about the state of the world.
We should remember who the violent ones are. We should know who is on the offensive. We should stand against terror. We should speak out against cold blooded fanatical Islamists who explode bombs attached to their bodies in public places destroying innocent lives and ruining families. We should express our disgust for those who slaughter children while they sleep in their beds displaying their love of death and pure hate for life. We should know the difference between good and evil.
Israel is on the frontlines of this war defending her existence, protecting our freedoms, suffering persecution, defamation, death at the hands of Islamic extremists and teaching the world how to do the same.
We should stand for the love of life, liberty and freedom. We should stand for the Judeo-Christian values on which our society and culture is built. We should stand with the families of over six million Jews murdered in the Holocaust while the world stood idly by. We should stand with Israel. We should say NEVER AGAIN.
The same people that threaten to destroy Israel and the Jews today are the same people that deny that the Holocaust ever happened--even though they contributed to the Holocaust.
Don't be indifferent.
Don't stand aloof.
Whose side are you on?
