ISIS – THE NAZI STATE
 |
| SS Division Handshar - Bosnian SS |
The ideological underpinnings of ISIS came from WW 2
resistance against Britain and France with the support of Nazi Germany and
later Stalin of the Soviet Union. The
fusion of Arab nationalism plus bits and pieces of Arab Socialism aka National
Socialism took shape in the Baath Party which held power in Iraq and had been
influential in other Arab states. Nasser
and Sadat were both German agents in the period before El Alamein to time the
Egyptian Army’s revolt from garrison against the British.
The Grand Mufti of
Jerusalem, Amin Al Husseini was a Nazi who raised Bosnian and Arabs SS units.

The pattern of total submission to ISIS version of Islam and
the execution of all others is a purely Western notion, the worst examples
being the Holocaust and Stalin’s purges.
The default manner of dealing with minorities ethnic groups
by Islam from the time of the Rashidun Caliphs, through the Ottoman Sultans was
flexible and accommodating of various groups’ values closest to family, village
and tribe.

Proof of the matter is the fate of minorities in Iraq and
Syria who have survived the entire period of Muslim rule, and some go back
before the Israelites. The Yazidun, for
example go back before Zoroastrianism.
Now for the first time in all that time, they are being butchered like
the Nazi Death Squads was loose.
Under the Ottomans, minorities were ruled in a flexible and
conciliatory mode, known as the Millet System.
“In the
heterogeneous Ottoman Empire (c. 1300–1923), a millet was an autonomous
self-governing religious community, each organized under its own laws and
headed by a religious leader, who was responsible to the central government for
the fulfillment of millet
responsibilities and duties, particularly those of paying taxes and maintaining
internal security. In addition, each millet assumed
responsibility for social and administrative functions not provided by the
state, conducting affairs through a communal council (meclisimillî) without intervention
from outside. From 1856 on, a series of imperial reform edicts introduced
secular law codes for all citizens, and much of the millets’
administrative autonomy was lost.”

The early Muslim empires from the Rashidun Caliphs, Umayad,
Abbasid, Seljuk, Fatimid and Ottomans offered the conquered a simple choice, of
minding their own business plus tax, or converting with a tax break. The loss of revenue from those converted
then, as now, operated as an incentive to keep the peace.
Otherwise, Islam would have been forced back into the desert
instead of fostering a higher degree of tolerance for minorities than the
Europe until after the French Revolution allowed Jews to be treated as
mensch. Jews were driven out of Spain
and found home in the Ottoman Empire.
Jews and other minority figures could rise to positions of wealth and
power, by playing according to the rules.
While many can argue about script and dogma, the treatment
of minorities was practical, pragmatic, and profitable. Consequently the
arguments used by ISIS to massacre those who Islam has protect for over a
thousand years, are insults to the Caliphates they purport to represent.
It should be remembered that Iraq revolted against the
British with Nazi assistance (that didn’t amount to much). Saddam Hussein’s surrogate father, his
maternal uncle Kairallah, had fought in the 1941 uprising against Britain, and
suffered thereafter because of it. The
Ba’th (Arab National Socialist) party was nationalist not religious, and subsequent
use of religion since 9-11 is convenient propaganda for Saddam’s humiliated
legions.

Saddam’s butchery to his own people are legend, and the
tradition continues with ISIS.
