Still the tallest building in the world? The tower “Burj Dubai” in (where else, dooh?!) Dubai. Dunno, that changes so fast
But it was fascinating to watch them guys work on that thing (laying in the shade, right at the pool with a drink that is )

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.

I think, it’s time to play a game.

A challenge for all of you out there

Everyone.

The law might be different for President Ahmadinejad himself though, or he just has a big enough garden.
He recently bought 4 guard dogs from Germany.
