Muslim Heroes Saved Jewish Lives During Holocaust

[Adam Jensen]

Muslims are, for the most part, decent people. It's nice to see this reflected in media once in a while.

[Paulosio]

why is that depressing? Its the best time the country had. Then the wars came.

It's depressing because of what it was compared to what it's become.

[Underverse]

Muslims and Jews have gotten along together quite well up until the founding of Israel.

[Gunzy]

You realize I'm not literally depressed, right? I find that circumstance sad, then I proceed to drink my single hop Simcoe IPA and watch Jeff Ross on TV.

I like the other english talk show, realy funny

p.s it is sad

If you were Turkey, would you?

id sure woudnt be on good terms with Mr.H but i dont know how much Turkey knew what was going on in germany at that time.

If you really want to read about something interesting/depressing, read about Afghanistan in the 60s and 50s.

I can't remember the name of the book but it was about 2 boys that didn't know they were brothers growing up in Kabul before the war. Really good book I'd recommend it. Still is pretty sad how much Afghanistan has changed.

Still kinda cool some people take religion super seriously. (not sarcasm)

[Tyrannica]

funny enough I never consider Turkey as some hate-mongering country.

Made my my friggin night. Someone needs a lession in History:

The forgotten Holocaust executed by Turks, 1915–1923:

Non holocaust related, but interesting to know:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Turkish_War

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Siege_of_vienna

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Vienna

It includes warcrimes such as rapes and impaling children.

(scroll down to Ottoman Empire)

Muslims, Jews, Christians it does not matter even a bit, humans can be bad/good, no matter the religion or culture or even time period. Give someone who is just a bit evil a chance to act like a monster and he will do it in this modern civilization, cause there was an convenient opportunity.

Once upon a time,

It's almost like people can be decent human beings regardless of skin color, culture, or religious creed!

Nah, the side my country supports is always good. And the countries that oppose us are always bad.

My political leaders told me so!

It's normal to help other people no matter where you come or what you're culture says. It's humane. It's morally good and this should NOT be converted to case like "they helped because they were muslims/jews/christians". It's human nature. I bet there are also shit careless muslims/jews/christians who DIDN'T give help either. Also newsflash: even enemy soldiers save others lives in some situations even when they're at war. Once again - human nature. Morality is not something that any of these hypocrite facist-like-religions for sheeps has a privilige.

Not even close to every muslim/jew/christian were(are) fundamentally ruined to the extreme end. That still doesn't make their cult/religion any less dangerous as long as they can "mis"-interpret their holy texts anyway they want and justify morally bad actions trough it.

[Cybran]

Heroes is a strong word. They also killed 1.5 million Armenians.

That's really sad. I had no idea Afghanistan used to be like that, none at all. From the pictures it doesn't look like a bad place for a holiday back then.
