How are the silent majority of "peaceful" Muslims any different from the Germans who let Hitler rise to power?

Excellent question and the answer is: No, they are not different at all.\nIt's often said that history repeats itself, unless people take note and learn from it. Apparently Muslims don't even want to learn.

Hitler's religion is described here: http://www.nobeliefs.com/hitler.htm  It seems to be largely unknown, but mainly Christian with a healthy dose of mysticism.  He was raised as a Catholic, and vocally denounced athiesm (http://www.infidels.org/library/historical/unknown/hitler.html)\n\nOther officials within the Nazi regieme were Christian, mostly Catholic although certainly plenty of Protestants, too.\n\nNow (as someone else already mentioned) there is a "Nazi mysticism" movement, about which you can read more at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nazi_mysticism

Muslim word means "Devote one's self".... maybe in hebrew sister semitic language of arabic .... Jew use same kind of word for themselves....otherwise there is no evidence of muslim genocide by hitler.... that is being done by the jews....and their friends.

Not a problem, the vast majority of Moslems are hardworking and peaceful.\n\nAs usual, it's just a minority of loud mouthed idiots who give the majority a bad name.\n\nUnfortunately, the right wing press try to whip up anti immigrant hysteria, but most people know better than to believe it.

I think that the way people live is a greater persuader than what they say. As long as non Muslims see fanatical people rioting in the streets as in Paris a few months ago,\nor over the cartoons a few weeks ago, it will be difficult to expect people to be open minded enough to listen to what you have to say. I mean come on, Iran's president denied the holocaust and Israel's right to even exist. I don't recall seeing them rioting in the streets!

Can't say I heard one from any Muslims unless they were in a political position and had to do it to save face. Islam is a very agressive religion. Of all of the wars/conflicts in the world, something like 95% of the at least ONE if not BOTH sides are Muslim.

I am not a Muslim so I can't speak on their behalf but I think many of them do not want to be connected or thought of as like that.The majority are peaceful but I do agree with you and think that they should defend this country more as they do have a lot to be thankful to us for.

No, I don't!  I'm sick of all this persecution based on religion/culture.  Do I disagree with Muslims on many points and take issue with their actions?  Yes.  Do I think that because I disagree with them they are barbarians who don't deserve to live?  No.  It would be horribly egocentric of me or anyone else to declare themselves a moral authority and decide and entire people don't deserve to live.  Someone else gave themselves that same sort of moral authority about sixty-five years ago.  His name was Adolf Hitler.  I'm glad to see we've all learned so much from the past.  Way to promote bigotry, world.

Christian mythology is obviously not for the peacefull kind. This religion is a form of war...Kill everyone that's an indiviual I say. Hitler has nothing on god. What about old Bin Laden...ha ha ha! god make bin laden look like mother tarisa!

I'm not Muslim and I agree with your sentiment 100%. There is a two-tier structure to Muslims and tolerance. \n\nIn nations in which Muslims are a minority, they act much much different than in nations in which they are the majority.In a way, this mirrors Mohammed's attitude when he was starting out in Mecca and his behavior once he ruled in Medina. In Mecca before the "flight" Mohammed was very tolerant talking about love, peace, etc. Once he went to Medina and had his foothold, then we saw the real face of Islam.\n\nThe hope of Muslims in the west is that they show the "good" side of Islam and get enough converts to reach critical mass. Once that happens, then they can bring down the hammer of Allah.

Jews are not chosen by anyone much less God.But they suffered inhuman treatment from Nazis and are facing insults from Neonazis.For Jews it is a question of survival.They get military support from U.S.A.whose presidents need electoral support from immigrant Jews.Jerusalam(literally means land of peace)is divided into three parts theologically and emotionally among Christians,Jews and Muslims.(Past) History does not decide present politics.One country`s terrorists are another country`s freedom fighters.One hopes Jews and Palestinian Muslims recognise the right of each other`s existence,and super powers co operate with both to find lasting peace.May God help all.

Not all Muslims hold to the traditional views...many of the more educated, enlightened Muslim people live openly and free from that way of thinking

Interesting!!!!\n\nI have been going through various questions and answers about Islam.\n\nI have found that Muslims and non-Muslims have been emotional for projecting their sentiments. Non-Muslims being in majority appear more frequently.\n\nStrange that despite lapse of four days none of non-Muslim has appeared to reply a material question.\n\nThis is a good question.\n\nActually media (both print and electronic) are doing business. They have to earn money. The people in media are not supposed to act like scholars or judges, they have to produce material to get business.\n\nNon-Muslims are a good market so criticism on Islam is a good product. No matter it is true or false.\n\nThere had been much false about USSR, there had been much false about Germany and now it is false about Islam.\n\nNews-Worth is definitely damaging image of Islam.

Islam is a religion mixed up with politics, manily against the Jews.Anyone from any continet, if he/she is a moslem is anti-Jew.Moreover, there is no freedom for humanity under this religon where only the religous leaders exercise their will upon the society.\n Islam has never been tolerant because if you refuse to convert, you have to be a slave for the beleivers or pay extra tax.Moslems are responsible for the millions of Aremenians and Assyrians killed when they rejected conversion.The only difference at present time is that they kill and die anyone one who is not belonging to the religon.The teaching is based on violence and hatred for other faiths other than love.The sucide killing is a new fashion and image of what moslem are in the modern world.I don't agree that it is a religon of peace that uses persuasion to convert like other religon.All religon had their own shortcoming, but never as Islam is.It is either distored or it is like that from the start.What I don't understand is why Islam is anti jew even if he is middle east, Europena or African??The world had a great threat to world peace after the 2nd world war, i.e communism but this time Islamic fundamentalism is another threat to the security of all even including to moslems who are peacfull.

Well, maybe not all muslims are terrorists, but all terrorists ARE muslims.\nBesides, if some muslims are not terrorists, they do nothing and say nothing against those that ARE terrorists. Their silence makes them accomplices

I doubt it as Islam is such a peaceful religion as British Muslims tell us all the time.\n\nThe politicians tell us all how we have this amazing multicultural society whilst all the while minorities and majority whites seal themselves into communities exclusively filled with the same kind of people as they are. Thinking insular thoughts and suspecting the other communities until it all erupts in violence sooner or later.
