Why don't you agree that the German Jews were too? I've never seen any evidence the German Jews were in any way belligerent toward either the Nazis or Germany. I think the opposite is more true. cs.brandeis.edu Alfred Wiener, among the leadership of the Central Association of German Citizens of Jewish Faith[**], wrote the following lines: The great majority of German Jews remains firmly rooted in the soil of its German homeland, despite everything. There may be some who have been shaken in their feeling for the German Fatherland by the weight of recent events. They will overcome this shock, and if they do not overcome it then the roots which bound them to the German mother earth were never sufficiently strong...We wish to be subject as Germans with equal rights to the new Government and not to some other creation, whether it is called League of Nations or anything else.[5] With the emancipation of German Jews during the mid to late nineteenth century, came the desire by most Jews to assimilate into the German culture. By this time, most Jews had little if any connection to what their forefathers had considered their way of life.[6] Many Jews converted to Christianity, the intermarriage rate soared and integration of Jews into German culture became the driving force behind many Jewish organizations such as the Centralverein. Wiener states above that these assimilated Jews, which he represents of course, are still adamant in their connection to German soil and culture. Those that had been '"'shaken'"' were obviously not German enough for him. His group, that of the assimilationists, formed the majority of German Jews and they were the hardest hit when the reality of what was going on sunk in. They had felt that by being more German than the Pope was Catholic they would be accepted as equals in German society. When they were picked out as Jews, even when their parents or grandparents had converted to Christianity, they were completely taken aback.

Why Islam Hates Democracy FrontPageMagazine.com \| June 6, 2002 " In 1992, Farag Foda, an Egyptian writer known for his secularist views, was shot dead outside his office in the heart of Cairo. This intellectual consistently called out for open dialogue with Islamic fundamentalists. The militant Islamic group al-Gama'a al-Islamiyya gleefully claimed not only responsibility, but justification. One of the gunmen, Abdul-Shafi Ahmad Ramadan, who was apprehended after the attack, boasted to police: "We had to kill him, because he attacked our beliefs." Full story>>> frontpagemag.com
