Europe will not reject muslims as a consequence of their collective guilt

One of the biproducts of the Holocaust in Europe is a shared collective guilt amongst most Europeans, excluding the ultra Nationalists. One consequence of this collective guilt is the inability to differentiate between actions that should be seen as a neccessary reaction to the Islamicization of Europe and the treatment of Jews in Europe in the 40s.

This article itself actually refers to this problem directly. It quotes Kalim Siddiqui, director of London's Muslim Institute fearing the next gas chambers will be for Muslims.

Europeans and all the world must resist the temptation to find correlation in the two scenarios. They share little in common other than the most basic aspect of both Jews and Muslims being minorities. The similarities end there.

Jews had no aspirations to rule, to proselytize, to modify in any ways the laws or constitutions of the nations they lived in. They never preached rejection of civil authority. They never desired anything but to live an admittedly insular (though there was a tremendous amount of assimilation too) life within the broader European polity. These facts must be contrasted with the islamicization of Europe taking place right now.

Europeans and North Americans should not allow muslims to coopt the language of the holocaust for political gain. It is a trademark of Islam. They claim Abraham, and Moses and Jesus as their own. Soon they will attempt to claim the holocaust as their own as they do already in Gaza everyday. It will be their greatest tool to fight European resistance to Dhimmitude. Watch for it. Resist it.
