What all Muslims share
Faith that Allah is almighty and great. Belief that the Koran is the word of Allah as told to his messenger Mohammed by way of the Angel Gabriel.
The spiritual leader of the world’s Zizari Ismaili Muslims was accused of pledging to raise an army of 30,000 Arab troops to back a German occupation of Egypt, Syria and Palestine.
Evidence emerged at the end of the war when the Allies captured German archives and interrogated their intelligence agents.
Details of the case have remained top-secret for more than 60 years and were declassified only last week, with their release by the National Archives at Kew.
In a 1942 memo submitted to the German Foreign Office by a Nazi agent, Aga Khan III expressed admiration for the puppet Vichy government in occupied France.
The Eton-educated racehorse owner then offered to raise troops in the Middle East to fight the Free French, saying: “If you give me ten to 15 days warning, I will have for you 30,000 armed Arabs, amongst my most faithful disciples, who will shoot the Gaullistes in the back.”
The Aga Khan and the Ismaili Muslims have long been revered as “peaceful”. I suppose, compared to some of their Sunni and Shia counterparts, they are. But in all reality, when it comes to killing Jews, you will find that Muslims of every stripe will be right there, gun in hand, ready to do the deed.
You sure about that? I’ve got an entire clan that has no interest in killing any Jews, or anyone else for that matter.

Muslims keep themselves quite busy killing each other, which is perfectly acceptable in the Islamic countries, but they should never be allowed to export their violence, ever.
Muslim violence and threats in Western countries recieve almost 100% support from Muslim communities in the West because it has given them a status that civilized groups of people have worked years to achieve.
That’s why the number of Muslims in Canada that speak out against Islamic savagery can be counted on one hand. Civilized Canadians must realize that bowing down before violence and threats leads to authoritarian governments down the road - exactly the type of governments most of the Muslim world suffers under right now - it’s the type of government Muslims want, but civilized people shouldn’t burden their children with that type of government.

Not always the case — your comments are ignorant as the people you attempt to criticise. You paint with too broad a brush. There is a sizable Jewish minority in Morocco who have a decent relationship with their Muslim neighbours. Why did Jews go to Morocco in the first place? Because at a certain point in history, the Muslims were more kind to Jews than Christians — many of the Moroccan Jews were originally from Spain and they fled Europe during the inquisition.

The Jews of Mohammad’s time mocked him mercilessly for the way he screwed up the Bible stories that were transposed into the Koran. Tyrants and would-be tyrants don’t take kindly to being mocked; hence all the anti-Jew passages in the Koran.

philonthropist you don’t realise but you are being ironic by saying Muslims are not allowed to export their violence especially to the west. The fact is that all the violence in the world comes directly from the powerful and progressed countries in the world like the west. They keep those poor people busy by giving them guns to kill each other so that they can take advantage of the situation. That’s how the west runs. Otherwise it would collapse in 2 days. don’t even bother talking about religion because it’s just become a tool for power and control.

This story is utterly nonsense and fabricated by then Nazi intelligence to provoke enmity between the Aga and the Queen. The Aga was always loyal to the English and Allies. More so he begged the Turks not to join the Nazi’s. The Aga’s have always criticized by main stream sunni muslims for being too close the English. The article is very sparse in its information and lacking thorough investigation. A half hearted, incompetent effort to discredit someone with 150 plus years of relations to the English Empire.
