Thought you may want to read this.... although most will simply smirk and continue on their way.... not to worry...
Some say this email or letter is a hoax but the content is factual, IMHO.... German, Polish, whoever... it is still directly related to today's situation.... so do with it what you will... Quote:
The Truth:
Dr. Emanuel Tanay is real and a holocaust survivor but he did not write this article, nor is he German. This is an opinion piece that appeared on the web site of Paul Marek, who wrote it in March 2007 under the title of "Why the Peaceful Majority is Irrelevant." Click for original version of article.
Dr. Emanuel Tanay, the son of Jewish dentists, was born in Russian occupied Vilna in 1928, which is now part of Lithuania, according to the personal account of his life in a Polish ghetto during the Holocaust.
Marek's article was apparently altered and posted on several reader and comment boards on the World Wide Web. Some altered versions include Marek as the author and cite Tanay as the original forwarder of the story.

Subject: Fwd: A German's View on Islam..
The author's references to past history are accurate and clear. It's
not a lengthy read, it's easy to understand, and it's well worth the
read
The author of this email is Dr. Emanuel Tanya, a well-known and
well-respected psychiatrist. A man, whose family was German
aristocracy prior to World War II, owned a number of large industries
and estates.
When he was asked how many German people were true Nazis, the answer
he gave can guide our attitude toward fanaticism. 'Very few people
were true Nazis,' he said, 'but many enjoyed the return of German
pride, and many more were too busy to care.
I was one of those who just thought the Nazis were a bunch of fools.
So, the majority just sat back and let it all happen. Then, before we
knew it, they owned us, and we had lost control, and the end of the
world had come. My family lost everything. I ended up in a
concentration camp and the Allies destroyed my factories.'
We are told again and again by 'experts' and 'talking heads' that
Islam is the religion of peace and that the vast majority of Muslims
just want to live in peace.
Although this unqualified assertion may be true, it is entirely
irrelevant. It is meaningless fluff, meant to make us feel better, and
meant to somehow diminish the specter of fanatics rampaging across the
globe in the name of Islam. The fact is that the fanatics rule Islam
at this moment in history. It is the fanatics who march. It is the
fanatics who wage any one of 50 shooting wars worldwide.
It is the fanatics who systematically slaughter Christian or tribal
groups throughout Africa and are gradually taking over the entire
continent in an Islamic wave. It is the fanatics who bomb, behead,
murder, or honor-kill. It is the fanatics who take over mosque after
mosque.
It is the fanatics who zealously spread the stoning and hanging of
rape victims and homosexuals. It is the fanatics who teach their young
to kill and to become suicide bombers. The hard, quantifiable fact is
that the peaceful majority, the 'silent majority,' is cowed and
extraneous.
Communist Russia was comprised of Russians who just wanted to live in
peace, yet the Russian Communists were responsible for the murder of
about 20 million people. The peaceful majority were irrelevant.
China's huge population was peaceful as well, but Chinese Communists
managed to kill a staggering 70 million people..
The average Japanese individual prior to World War II was not a
warmongering sadist. Yet, Japan murdered and slaughtered its way
across South East Asia in an orgy of killing that included the
systematic murder of 12 million Chinese civilians; most killed by
swords, shovels or bayonets.
And who can forget Rwanda, which collapsed into butchery. Could it not
be said that the majority of Rwandans were 'peace loving'?
History lessons are often incredibly simple and blunt, yet for all our
powers of reason, we often miss the most basic and uncomplicated of
points:
Peace-loving Muslims have been made irrelevant by their silence.
Peace-loving Muslims will become our enemy if they don't speak up,
because like my friend from Germany, they will awaken one day and find
that the fanatics own them, and the end of their world will have
begun.
Peace-loving Germans, Japanese, Chinese, Russians, Rwandans, Serbs,
Afghans, Iraqis, Palestinians, Somalis, Nigerians, Algerians, and many
others have died because the peaceful majority did not speak up until
it was too late.
Now Islamic prayers have been introduced into Toronto and other public
schools in Ontario, and, yes, in Ottawa too while the Lord's Prayer
was removed (due to being so offensive?) The Islamic way may be
peaceful for the time being in our country until the fanatics move in.
In Australia, and indeed in many countries around the world, many of
the most commonly consumed food items have the halal emblem on them.
Just look at the back of some of the most popular chocolate bars, and
at other food items in your local supermarket. Food on aircraft have
the halal emblem, just to appease the privileged minority who are now
rapidly expanding within the nation’s shores.
In the U.K, the Muslim communities refuse to integrate and there are
now dozens of “no-go” zones within major cities across the country
that the police force dare not intrude upon. Sharia law prevails
there, because the Muslim community in those areas refuses to
acknowledge British law.
As for us who watch it all unfold, we must pay attention to the only
group that counts - the fanatics who threaten our way of life.
Lastly, anyone who doubts that the issue is serious and just deletes
this email without sending it on is contributing to the passiveness
that allows the problems to expand.
So, extend yourself a bit and send this on and on and on! Let us hope
that thousands, world-wide, read this and think about it, and they
also continue to send it on - before it's too late.
And we are silent......
