The actual argument I've heard was that it didn't matter that most Germans were good, and didn't want to slaughter Jews and conquer the world. They went along, or at least, didn't resist those who did. I'm sure most of the Muslims back in the day just wanted to raise their kids and do their job and weren't all that into the idea of conquering Europe, but that didn't stop the Sultan and his army from conquering Constantinople and putting its Christian residents to the sword. Touche...other than Oskar Schindler, the list isn't full of Nazi luminaries. But let's not fool ourselves. Even Reinhard Heydrich was a fairly normal hombre before the War. Orchestra conductor before being put in charge of Interpol and worse. Goering...of course...a famous respected combat ace. The vast majority of Nazi Party members never fired a weapon let alone personally killed anyone. But...like the not all Muslims argument...meaningless. Islam is the antithesis of the West. Literally the West's historical foe since its invention in the 7th century. Unlike the very human Mongols, who by great fortune...just went home never to be heard from again re: taking-over the world...Islam is still around as it's an idea...just like our recent enemy...Nazism. Only Ataturk and the wave of nationalism that made places like modern Syria possible put an end to the non-stop Jihad until now. Modern times.

The Covenant of Omar which put this 'protection' into Islamic jurisprudence can easily be deemed null & void if the contract is perceived broken. Causing fitnah, for example...a very BROAD term...can break this contract. Historically, massacres have resulted as a result of this apparent strife (fitnah) caused by the minority community.

Fortunately he doesn't let death threats stop him https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-4388672/Mohammad-Tawhidi-hiding-following-chilling-Islam-threat.html Oops. Looks like I may have followed Scribblet into gullibility ... https://www.abc.net.au/religion/welcome-to-the-weird-world-of-australias-fake-sheikh-mohammad-ta/10095874 "Tawhidi is not recognised as an Imam or Sheikh by either the Australian National Imams Council or its South Australian equivalent, nor is he affiliated with any Australian mosque or prayer centre. The only religious instruction he offers is a self-described "university standard" Islamic Studies class delivered from a rented classroom at the University of South Australia. Tawhidi's tales about Sunni Muslims' shadowy plot to instate Caliphate have been enthusiastically embraced by the far-Right, including Reclaim Australia. Perhaps less expected is the extent to which Tawhidi himself has courted such groups. In the lead-up to last year's federal election, he made offerings of roses to roadside anti-Muslim Liberty Alliance and One Nation posters, as if the face of Pauline Hanson belonged not to Australia's most recognisable anti-Islam campaigner, but a titian-haired deity." Still, death death threats against him are unacceptable, imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scribblet Posted May 25, 2019 Report Share Posted May 25, 2019 Well, even if this is so, he is still a moderate Muslim speaking out against extremism, something which the establishment obviously doesn't like so will happily try to relate it to the 'far right' in order to destroy him. If he is not actually a Muslim, then that's a whole different kettle of fish. Imam only means a prayer leader, so any adult Muslim could become an Imam at some time, but I would think people would be happy to support someone who wants to reform extremism. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-4371064/Muslim-leader-Imam-Shaikh-Mohammad-Tawhidi-called-fake.html He defended himself claiming he was legitimate and only accused of being a fraud because he did not serve a radical Islamic agenda. 'For them, I am too Australian,' he said. The Muslim leader said he rejected controversial Sharia law to live by the Australian law 'because I am an Australian Muslim and not a Muslim Australian'. 'I want an Islam that is compatible with the west,' he said. 'The bottom line is, I want Australia to stay Australian.' 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Part of the problem is how certain people 'discuss' things. And it's obvious that these people want a solution, but are too afraid to provide one.

But don't let that stop others from calling someone a Nazi for talking about ANY kind of solution. It's no use having a conversation with those types if that is the kind of tripe they throw out. Tighter immigration limit the numbers, limit where we accept immigrants from , better vetting of people ect ect .. And this applies to anyone from anywhere that Canada would take in.
