Thanks to Allah for the Holocaust
An Egyptian cleric speaking over horrifying images of the Holocaust "Hopes It Will Happen Again, Allah Willing, At The Hand Of Muslims."
Let's take note of a few important points:
1. Egyptian TV is run by the state, opinions expressed have to be vetted by government censors—who obviously have no problem with the genocidal yearnings and historical lunacy in this friendly chat.
2. The cleric spends a great deal of time on Theodore Herzl. Everything he says about him is false. Herzl was a secular Jew, a journalist. He did not invent dynamite. That was Alfred Nobel.
3. The Holocaust is no longer denied, but justified. As always in the Arab world, conspiracy theories need not make any sense. Holocaust denial lives quite comfortably alongside Holocaust justification.
4. Egypt has a peace treaty with Israel and is viewed as a moderate Arab country. If this is moderate, can you imagine the world-view of the non-moderate Arab states.
5. Don't bother trying because the world views of moderate and non-moderate Arab states are exactly the same. They only differ on the eliminationist tactics to be deployed against Israel.
6. Imagine that you're an Arab Muslim child somewhere in the mid-east. You turn on your TV and view this video. What will this Arab child will conclude about Jews and Israel?
7. And that's why there will never be peace in the middle east, only various forms of accommodation, because the Arab Muslim world—backward and barbaric—exists on a steady diet of Jew-hatred and lies, justified by Islam.

Seraphic Secret is private property, that's right, it's an extension of our home, and as such, Karen and I have instituted two Seraphic Rules and we ask commentors to act respectfully.
1. No profanity.2. No Israel bashing. We debate, we discuss, we are respectful. You know what Israel bashing is. The world is full of it. Seraphic Secret is one of the few places in the world that will not tolerate this form of anti-Semitism. That's it. Break either of these rules and you will be banned.
How far removed are the propagandists in our own MSM who distort the destruction in Gaza and portray Israel as the aggressor? The truth doesn't matter and the gullible liberals just soak it up, without knowledge of history. The Arab populace have the excuse of a totalitarian regime, what is the excuse of our intelligensia who have the opportunities to know the true sequence of events of the past six years?

I was born in 1956 to a father that grew up speaking German because my grandparents came over on the boat. My grandfather on my mother's side was 100% Italian. My father and some of his brothers fought in Europe against the German army and one of my uncles was in the Seventh Army that liberated Dachau.
Had any of us kids even hinted that the Holocaust was justified mom and dad would have beaten us silly. If I had ever thought that the Holocaust was anything but pure and simple evil the nuns would never have let me out of the fifth grade. Adults in the '60s knew exactly what evil looked like.
Were my parents alive today they no doubt would shake their heads at the many defenders of Hamas and the Muslim world. That so many baby boomers (especially those on college campuses) actually think it is okay to accept the current Nazis masquerading as religious and political leaders in the ME says an awful lot about the poor state of our education system for the last 40 years.

This Muslim cleric is obviously a nut case. Psychotic probably. Or a pervert.
On the other hand, we have the duty to notice the very low level of education and awareness that people in Muslim countries must have if they are presented historical events which such stupid, horrific and idiotic distortions. God may have mercy on us all!

I am very disgusted by this Egyptian fellow.
It is sad that people don't understand that human suffering does not have a religion or a nationality.
I don't know what to say but to feel deep sadness for the indifference in our world.
may God have mercy on us.
