Auschwitz

While on the subject of Jews and the holocaust, some time ago when watching that moving little film “The Boy In The Striped Pyjamas” I was struck by the fact that the commandant and his family lived in this luxurious villa and a gate, through which his son Bruno stole away led, after a short distance, to the camp and I wondered at the time how accurate this could be. Well I now have the answer – it was pretty close. An article in News Headlines – Nazi legacy – about descendents of those criminals tried to analyse how they cope bearing the names of Himmler, Goering, Goeth and Hoess, names that still have the power to evoke the horrors of Nazi Germany, what is it like to live with the legacy of those surnames, and is it ever possible to move on from the terrible crimes committed by your ancestors?  When he was a child Rainer Hoess was shown a family heirloom; he remembers his mother lifting the heavy lid of the fireproof chest with a large swastika on the lid, revealing bundles of family photos. They featured his father as a young child playing with his brothers and sisters, in the garden of their grand family home. The photos show a pool with a slide and a sand pit - an idyllic family setting - but one that was separated from the gas chambers of Auschwitz by just a few yards. His grandfather Rudolf Hoess was the first commandant of Auschwitz. His father grew up in that villa adjoining the camp, where he and his siblings played with toys made by prisoners. It was where his grandmother told the children to wash the strawberries they picked because they smelled of ash from the concentration camp ovens. That is so sick it’s hard to believe isn’t it? Rainer is haunted by the garden gate he spotted in the photos that went straight into the camp - he calls it the "gate to hell". Rainer’s father, that child playing happily in the sandpit, never abandoned the ideology he grew up with and Rainer no longer has contact with him, as he attempts to cope with his family's guilt and shame. He decided he had to visit the heart of that shame - Auschwitz. As a child he was not allowed on school trips to Auschwitz because of his surname, but as an adult in his forties, he felt the need to face "the reality of the horror and the lies I've had all these years in my family".  Seeing his father's childhood home he broke down and kept repeating the word "insanity". He could not speak at all when he saw the "gate to hell".

After my Blog on Sharia I received this by e-mail –

We should know more about these people who proclaim us “the enemy”, whom it is their duty to kill in the name of their god. Islamic law is not confined to the basic laws defined in the Koran. It also includes the hadith, purportedly the considered sayings of Mohammed, and the Fatawa. The latter are rulings similar to Anglo-American case law.

Just reading the Koran gives one little insight into concepts such as Taqiyya, for instance, whereby it is a Muslim’s duty to lie to an unbeliever in order to save himself or to advance the cause of Islam, especially in what the individual Muslim regards as a Jihad. This is based on a hadith. As regards fatawa, it is usually up to an individual Muslim to act according to them or not.

Here are some fatawa from the famous Ayatollah who took power in Iran:

Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini, The Supreme Leader of Iran, the Shia Grand Ayatollah, 1979-89 said in his official statements: (mothers of America take note)

"A man can quench his sexual lusts with a child as young as a baby. However, he should not penetrate.

Sodomizing the baby is halal (allowed by Sharia law).

If the man penetrates and damages the child, then he should be responsible for her subsistence all her life. This girl, however, does not count as one of his four permanent wives. The man will not be eligible to marry the girl’s sister. It is better for a girl to marry when her menstruation starts, and at her husband's house rather than her father's home. Any father marrying his daughter so young will have a permanent place in heaven."

Khomeini, "Tahrirolvasyleh" fourth volume, Darol Elm, Gom, Iran, 1990

“It is not illegal for an adult male to 'thigh' or enjoy a young girl who is still in the age of weaning; meaning to place his penis between her thighs, and to kiss her.”

The west does its best to fight paedophilia: in the east the Ayatollahs actively encourage it. I am of the firm belief that the world is going to hell in a hand basket.
