European Eye on Radicalization, Jan. 26, 2022
“As a British Muslim, I find that antisemitism is once again at a critical mass, but this time the charge is not being led by Nazis but by Islamists, spearheaded by the Muslim Brotherhood, who believe that they are doing “God’s work”, aided by the political far-Left.”
As a youngster in school in the 1970s, I remember one of the most harrowing lessons in history class—that of Nazi Germany: its warped ideology, its colonial ambitions, and the crimes it committed against humanity, the most disturbing of which was the genocide of European Jews, referred to as the Holocaust or Shoah (Catastrophe). Nazi Germany and its collaborators systematically tortured and murdered approximately six million Jews across German-occupied Europe. The murders were carried out in pogroms and mass shootings; by a policy of extermination in concentration camps; and in gas chambers and gas vans in German extermination camps.
