That’s what I just had in my feedreader from AKI.
Now, my history lessons weren’t that great, but I do sort of doubt this….

The World War II Nazis spread their anti-Semitic hatred of the Jewish race to Arab states, a legacy that al-Qaeda (photo) has fed off, the German historian Matthew Kuntzel, argues in his book ‘Jihad and Jew-hatred’.

Read the first part on AKI

Al-Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden’s attacks against western countries, first announced in 1998, have continually found inspiration from anti-Semitism, Kuntzel argues.

Bin Laden equates the West/America with “the Jews” and takes it as axiomatic that “the Jews are out to dominate the world,” Kuntzel claims.

I do know that quite a few Muslims from various countries liked Hitler and his ideas a lot. A few told me so.
“Oh, you’re German? Hitler great man!”

Further down in Part two it says:

The Jews had fought a war against Muslims for 14 centuries that continued to the present day, “helped by Christians and idolatry", according to Qutb.

I guess Nazis were really needed after 14 centuries of hatred to sow the seed….am I missing something???

Don’t get me wrong, I’m just getting tired of hearing the same old Nazi shit since I got into school.

They never did let us be proud of being Germans, I never did feel proud until I grew a bit older and grew very tired of endless complaints of people regarding the war.
I wasn’t even born. All I can do is try to avoid another mess like that.
And everyone else should better watch out that it doesn’t happen in their own country.

Don’t be afraid to leave me your honest opinion about this, I’m always eager to learn, but please don’t try to make me feel guilty for something that happened 80 years ago.

So, I’m not one to fool myself easily about living conditions of some people here in Kuwait, I’m always a bit sad to see them with my own eyes.

Last week I took a walk around the ‘hood here in Mangaf and found structures that look like old traditional houses. Well, Leftovers of those at least.

2 of them inhabited.

One in not THAT BAD of shape and inhabited by maybe more than one family with cars and all, maybe even Kuwaitis. At least one guy, working on his car, looked like it.

Now, what really irritated me, is the one that was in the worst shape AND inhabited is right beside a mosque.
Again, I don’t have the right to judge anyone and I won’t, but by posting these pictures you can make up your own mind about what I am thinking about it.
I don’t blame you when you don’t comment.
Because all I could say about what I felt that moment would probably get me right to jail

Someone was just hanging the laundry there and behind the house some guys were unloading vegetables from a van. I didn’t want to embarrass them or get into trouble by taking more pictures.

And this is just one case that I happened to stumble upon. I’m sure there are even worse cases.

Again, this is not my country, nor my religion or politics - I just post what I see.
