Deutschland Deutschland, Unter Allah

Lee reports on a disturbing-but-unsurprising development in Germany. Apparently, the same mentality that enabled Hitler to rise to power is at work today, only this time the tyranny-of-choice is Islam.

Salim Abdullah speaks of "defiant reactions" in the face of the constant criticism brought against Islam, although he's also familiar with converts who appreciate the "clear rules for behavior" provided by the Koran.

What? You mean a country with a strong authoritarian tradition would find its citizens becoming attracted to a religion with an even stronger authoritarian tradition? A country which invented industrialized antisemitism is now finding more and more of its citizens attracted to the most antisemitic religion in the world? I'm shocked, I tell you, shocked!

I'm sure the mullahs are running their hands together in glee at the thought of getting ahold of I.G. Farben's incinerator technology.


All I can say is, I lived there, and in Austria, and I can vouch for one thing: This is a people who LIKE TO BE LED, and they need scapegoats like they need air and water, no doubt about it. I went there in hopes of finding otherwise, and my worst fears were confirmed. And I can't think of anything scarier--frankly--than Germans turned into jihadis. Take religious devotion and mix in solid adminstrative and organizational skills, and you have some seriously terrifying individuals.
