Cleric Mohamad Ali  El - Husseini: For Every Time - Period There is Hitler and the Holocaust is Ongoing

“Those who do not remember the past are subject to repeat it”, this magnificent aphorism is a speech of the Spanish writer and philosopher George Santayana has lots of meanings and eloquent lessons: that history is a school for all humanity and provides through its various stages, events and developments, especially wars, famines, and various disasters and calamities, lessons for those who understand and digest them realize their goals and objectives; in other words, the philosopher here destined by those who do not comprehend their past are the ones who do not or have not benefited from that happened to their ancestors and there by commit mistakes that ends up with calamities and woes, therefore, they will find themselves one day in similar scenarios to the ones their parents and grandparents experienced.
Reflections on the various historical stages with all their events, wars and different issues, we always find that there is a thin thread that connects all of them, especially wars, and the profound replication of committing heinous errors, particularly by the tyrants who are in a permanent state of escaping forward. In each historical events what forms both sides of the equation are the two primary poles: oppressor and the oppressed, the right and wrong, good and evil, burning and burned, in this regards, shedding the light on what Hitler had committed of crimes and large massacres make him in fact the successor to Pharaoh in criminality and Sadism not only anti-Semitic, but against humanity as a whole.
The Black pages of World War II is the responsibility of Hitler himself, specially when he had done in burning the Jews and exterminating them, and the truth is remembering the tragic bloody scenes give us the impression that Hitler did not burn the Jews only, but burned human civilization and all the values of goodness, truth and beauty; this fact is recognized by those who has alive conscience, see things as they are and call a spade a spade.
Today, after more than four centuries of the Pharaoh and his tyranny as well as more than 60 years after Hitler and his the crimes and atrocities, we find the Pharaoh has been reborn to torture people and punish them, or that
Hitler stood among us to destroy the stone, burn human beings again, the truth is that inside every unjust and tyrant obstinate is a Pharaoh that commits Hitler crimes and massacres especially when you see terrorism almost hits different parts of the world, and humanity is invited in order not to allow, in the third millennium after Crist, these models to do the same role played by Pharaoh or Hitler or those who were like them; in this age, human kind must take the lead to do a completely different role from that in previous eras where there by precede the bad event before it happens and make instead good and useful event for humanity.
The known Iraqi sociologist Ali Al Wardi says, "The history which we have studied in schools made us memorize the kings and their conquests without asking for the feelings of repressed peoples after the conquest".
Here we must always put ourselves in the place of the oppressed and burned people, that is what makes us fully aware of the heuristic issues and pushes us not look at and ponder in the filled half of the glass; the Holy Quran itself has stimulated Mankind to confront the oppressor and refuse to accept his injustice especially if it touches innocent people with big harm as stated in the dignified verse: “Indeed, those whom the angels take [in death] while wronging themselves – [the angels] will say, “In what [condition] were you?” They will say, “We were oppressed in the land.” The angels will say, “Was not the earth of Allah spacious [enough] for you to emigrate therein?” For those, their refuge is Hell – and evil it is as a destination.” The time is going on and events has been the same, but in different times the Holy Quran assures: “And these days circulates among people, and he who hates war, violence, destruction and hatred, and racism and seeks for peace, love, affection, harmony, stability and tranquility must do what he can for it, as the Chinese proverb says, "ignite a candle is far better than to curse the darkness a thousand times."
Humanity today is in dire need to be like Moses to save it from Pharaoh and Hitler of this era, Mankind does not want war and hatred, but they want peace, love, friendship and peaceful coexistence and acceptance of others; and here there is no doubt that the all Mankind are asked to stand by Moses against Pharaoh to extinguish the fire of Hitler, and by this we ensure that tyrants thoughts and exercises like Pharaoh and Hitler will never have any place in this age.
