Thought Id start this one going because its rather dead on this board at the moment and I suppose all my usual muckers are either at the Stella tennis event watching Dim Tim (lose again) or at Henly Regatta eating cucumber sandwiches (they wish,...NOT).

Anyway please feel free to just talk to yourself blast away and let it go on any company or subject you wish. Just wish Id thought of this one before.

cheers GF.

So 5 or 6 % are Muslim then are they in Britain .

This is for a victim.

Similarity to the whipping up of racial emotions and hatred.

Crystal Night' 1938: The great Anti-German spectacle

Ingrid Weckert

"Crystal Night" is the name that's been given to the night of 9-10 November 1938. In almost all large German cities and some smaller ones that night, store windows of Jewish shops were broken, Jewish houses and apartments were destroyed, and synagogues were demolished and set on fire. Many Jews were arrested, some were beaten, and some were even killed. The "Reich Crystal Night" (Reichskristallnacht) was one of the most shameful events of National Socialist Germany. Although the Jews suffered initially, the greatest harm was ultimately done to Germany and the German people.

Even people who are sympathetic to National Socialism cannot understand how this event could have happened. Julius Streicher, the so-called "number one Jew baiter" [note 1] for example, was shocked when he first learned about the demonstrations and destruction the next morning.

The all-important question is: Who was responsible for the incident? It is generally accepted, especially by contemporary historians, that the Nazi gang organized and carried out the pogrom, and that the chief instigator was Propaganda Minister Dr. Joseph Goebbels. The truth of the matter is that Adolf Hitler was so disgusted by the incident that he forbade anyone from discussing the matter in his presence. Dr. Goebbels complained that he would now have to explain this terrible affair to the German people and the world, and that he simply did not know what kind of credible explanation to give. If he had actually been responsible for the Crystal Night, he surely would have had a well-prepared explanation. The explanation he gave on the morning of the 10th was extremely unconvincing and was generally not believed by the German public. During my study of this subject, which resulted in my book on the Crystal Night, Feuerzeichen, I found many facts which do not agree with the generally accepted thesis. On the contrary, the evidence which I have found gives a completely different picture.

chris - what a totally loony idea! .... i'll check with my m8 in bahrain and ask what happens there

We are loony cynic didn't you know Britain's finished ..

so fred, why do you choose to believe this ingrid weckert?

A slightly different era I would suggest don't you . Never mind it suits you to use it so there we are . What only for me Freda .

i wonder if said ingrid also denies the holocaust and perhaps even states that hitler knew nothing of it if indeed it happened at all

I don't know why every one's banging on about the 2nd world war ,(i imagine Fred's started it)
The mass invasion of migrants and it is an invasion has nothing to do with Hitler or history ..

fred's latest obliquely refers back to cologne

I wonder how this will play out . Iran accuses Suadis of bombing Embassy . bbc .

for sure there's much public sabre rattling, but certainly the present situation is very volatile and pretty scary too ...... i'm sure all will be working very hard behind the scenes to prevent escalation

cynic - I'm guessing he will tell you children are exempt from fasting.

One comment I do agree with from The daily Mail:-


"No changes should be made to any school curriculum or exam timetable to suit any religious group."

yes chris - all of the above
certainly that is what i would have guessed

OK, you lot.....
