We are not so sure if we are reading it in the Arabic Wikipedia..
In fact, you might confuse Adolf Hitler with just another glorious leader who took his people through adventures and conquests. The guy just wanted some more space for his people. Almost not a word about exterminating other people. (To those who can't read Arabic, you can use Google translate and get the main idea passed in the text, but better to read it with an Arabic reader)
Obviously, we all know what was Hitler's roll in this world and what would have been the end of the other Semite people in this had he finished his plan with the Jews.
His hatred to Jews and other non-Arian people was infinite and his plans to exterminate the world Jewry was in plan already in the beginning of his regime. His atrocities with the help of his supporters within the German people and the foreign people that joined him were and still are unbelievable.
Some cheerful Arabs, led by Jerusalem Mufti,Haj Amin al-Hussein, were the most enthusiastic of all of Hitler's ideas. Joined him and even participated in his fights in Europe.
The sad fact that I am trying to share with you here is that the Arabic Media, education tools and the information venues that are being presented to the Arabic reading population is exposing them to half truths, lies and deceptive information.
For example, In the English version of Wikipedia, the name Adolf Hitler will not spare the reader with his roll in extermination the Jews.
Now we understand why the glorious Arabs of the medieval times, when Christians were burning woman for being "witches", Arabs were developing Philosophy and Algebra, disappeared.
In most cultures, information and knowledge, translated to progress and power.
Unfortunately, in the Arab society, ignorance is, to my opinion, the greatest power that the radicals are using to generate waves of hatred and racism.
Look at Israel on the map. Tiny!! Look at the Arab countries. HUGE!! Should we ask Israel to give land to the Palestinians? how about the Arab countries? لماذا نحن نطلب من الدولة اليهودية لإعطاء الأرض للفلسطينيين عندما كان العرب والأشقاء الفلسطينيين ، والكثير من الأراضي الفارغة وأنهم لن يعطوا أي شيء. هناك شيئا خطأ هنا.
did Muslims support Hitler in whiping out the Jewish people in the late 1930's and 1940's ?
ReplyDeleteYes, Unfotunaely a lot of Muslims helped Hitler. Muslim such as Amin El Husseini, who was the leader of the Arabs in Palestine, so did the Iraqi regime at the time. However, some Arabs defended the Jews among them.
DeleteSome did, Unfortunately.
ReplyDeleteOne in particular, was Haj Amin Al-Huseini. The leader of the Arabs in Palestine. You can check it online.
This was another bad choice the Arabs made.
Is it possible to call a Semite an Anti-Semite? I can conclude he hates himself. Let me tell you Amer, do you think you would have survived World War II and stayed out of the hands of Hitler? I know the answer, but do you know?
ReplyDeleteAnd it's ashame that so many from my religion don't realize something that is so clear to someone with a basic understanding of that Historical period.
ReplyDeletewell the Arab wiki is right. that is my opinion and everyone is aloud one but i bet yours is wrong
ReplyDeleteVery important comment that you just made.
ReplyDeleteHitler planned and executed a mass murder of the Jewish people. This is a fact, it's not about a different opinion.
And opinion would have been whether he was right in what he did, like you might think, or was it wrong. As I think. And on opinions we can deffer but facts are facts.
I must say, however, that in the free world, one can also be stupid and ignorant. I think you demonstrate that right overwhelmingly well.
That's right Farhan. I always keep in mind that a big majority of the arab world isn't educated sufficiently to know this. They just follow each other like obedient sheep.
ReplyDeleteThank you Marloes. In Arabic we can this phenomenon "Blind Goat".
ReplyDeleteThis kind of behavior was nourished and promoted through the years for political reasons. Today, when the world is so open, it creates a huge crisis within the Arabic society.
Some really believe that Jews has a tail in their behind.
In the world many say westerners are arrogant because they think they know it all. Well at least I know I don't know anything, BUT my dutch society/culture whatever you want to call it is so open. That openness is inherent to my culture in order trade with other cultures and countries. Because of this openness we learn a lot about the world, there's no government who's blocking sites for us and offers us the opportunity to go to university. Maybe very maybe we know a lot more than other cultures in the world.
ReplyDeleteThe only who's arrogant here is Mr. Anonymous who thinks what he reads about European history in Arabic is true while probably the English version of that says the opposite. At school I've learnt to read articles from various points of view. Like they say in dutch, literally translated: everyone talks in his own street, but somethings aren't true. How can you differ from opinion about a historical fact (yes fact not opinion)? If you really want to know the truth come and see in Europe what happened to the Jews and not alone that: to the other people. The wound of WOII is still there, when will this be healed?
Well there you have it Farhan you have just chomped down on your own words congrats stupid and ignorant you have became.
ReplyDeleteI used to believe that 6mill died but after some reading I have developed opinions over these topics. The world is a bad place but I do not believe in being cruel to other humans, I hold out for peace to come to the world and if we must wait til the end of days then so be it.
but stupid and ignorant I am not.
I can make up numbers too
ReplyDeleteYou can make up numbers but who made you up? Are you for real?
ReplyDeleteYea I am for real. I am not trying to be inconsiderate,sorry if it comes of that way I am not the best at wording things quite right but I am only stating that numbers were made up. I read "Did 6 million Really die" and it blew my mind I could not believe it! I was very angry at them for even question the fact but the more I thought about the more it became apparent. So if 6 mil did not actually die then that is a really good thing , Right? or is it better to believe that human beings could be so cruel and have such bad intentions to hurt one another. If there was 6mil that died then that is truly a sad thing and I can not denie the hurt it would place upon the shoulders of others.
ReplyDeleteI've looked up the book. Do you realize by who it was written? By a member of far right WHITES ONLY party. These people hate everything that's not white, they belong to the same type as Hitler. What have I been telling you guys? All far right parties and organizations don't believe the number of deaths in the concentration camps. There's my point of view, tadaaaaa.
ReplyDeleteReally? I did not know that a friend just told me to read it. If it is written by a far whites only party then I want nothing to do with it! and I should tell him also as he dislikes racist people. Sorry but i always thought if it is on paper it must be true i do not trust wiki's as like i said "i can make up numbers too" refers to the fact that people can edit at will.
ReplyDeleteI know there is a lot going on in the middle east which I wish was not the case, I thought it was the holy land not so named after the graves left behind.
i think it's really good if people from europe and the middle east really listen to each other without emotions. It will help understand each other, so we can bring peace to the world.
ReplyDeleteThat is a really good statement, and the truth
ReplyDeleteThank you, Marloes. It is priceless to have a European speak of the atrocities that happened in Europe with such honesty and courage. Not to run from the past of that continent but rather make a rule to take the lesson and live life by it.
ReplyDeleteI am surprised by Anonymous, who made strong and false statements with regards to the number of Jews that "died" during the Holocaust.
I would probably agree that not more than a few thousands died during that war. Died from bad health and old age, if they got to it. But the facts on the murder machine the Nazis and their helpers built in Europe was in the discussion and not the natural passive death of some old Jews in Europe.
This event was one that never happened before and is considered to be the most studies , documented and investigated event of mass murder. Any claims to refute the told above will be facing overwhelming waves of evidence and proof. But it won't deter those dirty holocaust deniers to throw doubt into these event to blind the uneducated. It works.
The incentive is clear. Antisemitism and anti Zionism.
Shame people denie such things, though one should not hold it against the misinformed, I was told that Hitler had curly hair and he had a eye patch by the teacher at school.
ReplyDeleteGood question Anonymous. Where are you from? The reason why the death/genocide of 6 million Jews are taken into more consideration is because they were the main goal and a the largest group ofcourse. The others like gypsies, homosexuals, coloured people, disabled people were not by definition the "rich people" and there were not a lot of them. They would only weaken the German people but further than that would do no harm to "normal" German people. The Jews were the ones who were seen as a threat, at least they thought so. They were even suspected of initiating World War I and ofcourse the crisis, Krach of 1929. Right now we know they are good at trading, because there were restrictions for them in the Middle Ages. They weren't allowed to join guilds, so they had to invent other professions like being a jeweler.
ReplyDeleteOverall in Europe we're being taught to accept differences in a society, if we don't accept it you can get a man like Hitler who will destroy entire communities and just people who are "different".

ReplyDeleteAnd once again why should we lie about an awful fact. Even Mr. Anonymous with the long text is admitting that some Polish did besides good things also very awful things. Every European country who was occupied by the Nazis admits there were some persons among the population who did terrible things. But even that can't be considered as black and white, because there were even Jews (under threat by the Nazis) who handed over some fellow Jews. As well there were poor jobless Europeans who handed over lots of Jews for money.
ReplyDeleteexactly! As one Polish writer (Herling-Grudziński) said "Human can be a real human only in humanitarian conditions" It is important to remember, not to forget and pretend that it didn't happen. To act like Willy Brandt: http://www.hdg.de/lemo/objekte/pict/BiographieBrandtWilly_photoBrandtKniefallBubi/index.html
ReplyDeleteAnna, (Much nicer than Anonymous :-))
ReplyDeleteYour words touched me deeply. I too, can't understand those who praise Hitler and still want to be counted as human beings.
As an Arab, who's by definition also a Palestinian, was profoundly moved by what I learned happened in the Holocaust systematically against Jews and the massive murder and torture of the Poles and other nations.
As an Arab, this part of History is not accessibly to me since it might be "pro-Jewish". As I mentioned above, even on the Wikipedia in Arabic, Hitler is not but a German patriot.
Ignorance is the best tool of the racists.
@Farhan. Where do you get the information from then? Besides from us.
ReplyDeleteI read books, online, you tube, Wikipedia in different languages and even met some people that survived the holocaust and fought against the Nazis.
ReplyDeleteHi there! This is kind of off topic but I need some advice from an established blog.
ReplyDeleteIs it difficult to set up your own blog? I'm not very techincal but I can figure things out pretty fast. I'm thinking about
creating my own but I'm not sure where to start. Do you have any ideas or suggestions? With thanks

Go read research and see evidence. The Holocaust is the one historic event that was researched more than any other event. Still as I write these lines, there are living people that experienced the killing machine that the Nazis had operated against the Jews in Europe. People that survived the camps and people that operated them. All of them approves that it happened.
