The Meaning of Words

[Guest guest]

Here are some comments to clarify the meaning of

Nazism and Islam and to show that they are

contradictory belief systems. Many Jews fled Nazi

Germany to Palestine, a Muslim country.

 

The Nazi regime in Germany, once it took power,

systematically detained and killed millions of Jews

and others. Laws were passed to deprive certain

classes of citizen of their rights, and a bureaucracy

was put in place to systematically kill them. The

Nazi regime depended on a highly organized bureaucracy

to carry out its mission to cleanse the society of

those who were designated as defective and subhuman.

 

 

Islam is a belief system preached by Muhammed and

practiced around the world for 1500 years. It comes

from the same roots as Christianity and Judaism but

rejects the divinity of Jesus and rejects the Jewish

belief of being the chosen people. Nevertheless, it

acknowledges Christianity and Judaism as Divine

religions and protects the right to practice these

religions.

 

During the Inquisition, for example, Jews fled to

Muslim lands.

 

Islam preaches the equality of all mankind and some

its greatest teachers have converted from the Jewish

religion. While Islam does not embrace Judaism or

Christianity, it acknowledges them as Divine religions

and accepts them

 

In Islam, a Jewish or Christian woman can marry a

Muslim and retain her religion and her religious

practices.

 

In no way is Islam like Nazism. Islam is not in the

business of genetically categorizing people. Islam

specifically rejects racism. Islam does not devalue

the handicapped or despise the poor.

 

The best way to understand Islam is to study a Muslim

translation of the Quran and to read books on Islam

written by Muslims.

 

 

Mohammed Asad is a famous Jewish convert and scholar

of Islam whose analysis of the Qur’an is highly

respected. His books include The Road to Mecca and

The Message of the Quran.

 

RE: Religion Being Used to Deceive

" They were anti-Semitic

doomsdayers who believed its militia could forestall

the advance of

evil, global forces controlled by infidel Jews. Do you

see how Osama

bin Laden's group is similar? Hate for Jews is common

-- from Nazis

to Al Qaeda to American survivalists. Al Qaeda is

like all other

cults past and present. For it doesn't matter the

religious

mainstream base; cults revolve around a leader which

casts the

outside world as " evil. " "
