GERMAN AMERICAN BUND  AND THE ISLAMIC PREDOMINANT SCHOOL OF THOUGHT

                What is the difference between the German American Bund and the hundreds of madrassas (schools for the study of the Koran) that are popping up all over the United States? 

                The Bund numbered 50 to 60 thousand Americans in the 1930s about the time Adolf Hitler took power.  The incredulous purpose of the Bund was  to  “preserve Germanic culture in the USA through history, language, and folk art both for members and the general public.”   

                The Sunni Predominate Schools of Thought are Islamic schools teaching the Quran, the Sunnah (a collection of traditions about the life of Muhammad) and religious jurisprudence – meaning Sharia Law. 

                The differences are minor compared to what they have in common – imposing their politics on an unsuspecting America.  Their ancestry was different, their language different – but their agenda is the same.  In the case of the Bund, Hitler was pulling the strings.  In the madrassas, Sunni, Islam is pulling the strings.  In essence, what they are doing is exporting their totalitarian agendas with the intent to dominate the world.

                Nineteenth Century Mormons had the same idea, world domination, but democracy caught up with them before they became strong enough to dominate.  The LDS Church has since turned into a family orientated, patriotic, religious institution, but the same cannot be said about Mormon fundamentalism.  The fundamentalists, those that believe they are perpetuating the original doctrines of Joseph Smith and Brigham Young, especially the practice of polygamy, have shelved the world domination agenda and are currently fighting to decriminalize the practice of polygamy.  Consider the following religious and cultural characterization by authors Lewis and Pryce-Jones:

• A hierarchical-authoritarian mentality: “The boss is almighty; others can only obey.”
• Group identity:  “The group always comes before the individual”; if you do not belong to the clan/tribe (group) you will be treated with suspicion or, at best, not be taken seriously.
• A patriarchal mentality and culture of shame:  The woman has a reproductive function and must obey the male members of her family; failure to do so brings shame on the family.

                `The authors of the above did not have Mormon fundamentalist groups in mind but as you can see, it certainly applies.  The quotation was taken from The Caged Virgin by Ayaan Hirsi Ali, as it pertains to Islam.   

                The point of all this is that since the 1930s there has been totalitarian regimes attempting to corrupt and overthrow by stealth our American way of life, from inside as well as outside.  In that regard communism and socialism should be added to the list.  There are still Nazis within but their tiny numbers do not make them a threat.  In the case of Mormon fundamentalists, it is only the prospect of sex with multiple women that keeps fundamentalism alive and well.  But don’t be fooled, they hate government.  The threat of communism, although they’re still active in America, have largely been replaced by socialism. 

                Socialism is currently the most serious opponent to capitalism.  However, Islam is the more stealthier and in the long run constitutes the greater threat.  Both socialisms and Islam in their nascent stages use the same tactics – lies converted into fear and hatred.   The most vulnerable Americans are the minorities, disaffected, frustrated, misfits, the ambitious, social intellectuals, sinners, fanatics and the poor.

                Why have these anti-American entities been able to make inroads in our society?  The answer is  easy, they are exploiting our Constitution.  What a paradox.  Our Constitution  permits dissidents to burn our flag and promote doctrines that are antithetical to our way of life – a way of life that made the United States the most free and greatest country ever.   Dissention is allowed, based on the theory that good will prevail.  Our enemies are the enemies of free speech and responsible scrutiny and they attack us by using “political correctness,” a controversial social standard imposed by liberals.   Political correctness has been used to censor free speech, constructive criticism and justifiable doubt.  For example, to question or doubt the Koran in many Islamic countries is a capital offense.  In the United State and Canada, Islamic organizations like CAIR (Council on American-Islamic Relations) use political correctness to intimidate and stifle reasonable Islamic scrutiny.  In that regard the term, “Islamophobe” has been invented,  meaning "dread or hatred of Islam as well as fear of Muslims."  But hasn’t the Koran and radical Muslims given us good reason to fear absolute Islam?  How often has a Muslim yelled, “Allah Akbar,”  and an American died?

                 It is the nature of the human condition that he who sits atop “Bunker Hill” must expect that there will be those that will conspire to unseat him.   After World War II, and even after the stalemate in Korea, American was on top.  But we have been weakened by economic and political conciliation and Islam is exploiting that weakness.  At least that’s my opinion.               

                Keep in mind that “predominate” means superior in numbers and power and that is what the Koran says about Islam.  As we enter this New Year of 2012, how many more free Americans will die at the hands of moderate, peace-loving Muslims?  How many more little girls will be circumcised in worship of Allah’s last true Messenger, Mohammad?  How many dysfunctional Americans will convert to Islam?  How much farther will the conciliatory, Obama Administration go in the hopes of appeasing Islam?

                Happy New Year
