As is well known, the figure of six million Jews killed in the holocaust by
Hitler has been so well-drilled into us that we have willingly or un willingly
begun to accept them as true. I was 9 years old when the 2nd W.W. ended in 1945
& the cold war started. The estate of Israel established. The collection of data
began & it was tabulated that six million Jews died under Hitler. Not one more,
not one less. However, as I started growing older, I had to encounter many more
"sixes". Say, the star of David is six pointed ( a hexagram) There are six
million Jews in Europe. There were three (half of 6) million Jews in the Soviet
Union. The word Israel has six letters. The state is divided into six
administrative districts. The highest point is 12000 meters & the lowest 396
meters below sea level. Leap year is observed in the sixth month of the Jewish
calendar. Israel fought the Six-Day war with the Arabs in 1967 & on the sixth
day of the month after six years the Yom Kippur war took place. There are
hundreds of more, but for the present this should suffice. Being bewildered, on
of my visits to the USA, I made it a point to buy a copy of the TORAH, in
English. On going through the same, I came across a fascinating discovery.
Everything mentioned in the TORAH is based on six. You can either divide them or
multiply them by six. I am quoting the holy scripture below & you can do the
calculation yourself:

So, this is the problem with the Holocaust. It has either to be six million or
nothing. It will interest the readers to know that this six problem has been
very well answered & explained in the Quran, but at the moment I am not willing
to disclose it. It has to wait for its own time.
There is no copy right.

In
response to the above article, which was widely circulated, I received a
complaint from my very good friend, Pastor Dave, from US, saying that Hitler was
an animal and that I was a Jew-hater, to which I replied as follows:
Dear David
SHALOM
Thanks a lot
for your comments on my above article. Normally I do not reply to comments
because it is sheer waste of time, but your comments need some explanation.
Firstly you call Hitler an animal (i.e. a wild beast). Granted, have your way!
But wait! Here is the TORAH:
“ But if you do not
obey Me…….if you reject My laws….rules….break my covenant ,I in turn will do
this to you: I will wreak misery upon you…….you shall be routed….foes shall
dominate……flee though none pursues .” “And if for all that, you do not obey Me,
I will go on to discipline you SEVENFOLD for your sins, and I will…….And if you
remain hostile towards Me and refuse to obey Me, I will go on smiting you
SEVENFOLD for your sins.” I WILL LOOSE WILD BEASTS” against you and they shall
bereave you of you’re ………”And if I too will remain hostile to you. I in turn
will smite you SEVENFOLD for your sins. I will bring a sword against you to
wreak vengeance for the covenant…..” ”…..you shall eat the flesh of your sons
and the flesh of your daughters. I will destroy your cult places and cut down…..
and I will heap your carcasses upon your lifeless fetishes.” “And you I will
scatter among the nations….the SWORDS against you” “The sound of a driven leaf
shall put them to flight….fall though none pursues…… perish among the nations.”
“These are the laws …Lord established, through Moses on Mount Sinai, between
himself and the Israelite people” (Leviticus 26. 1-46).
Would you call the
lord God a Jew Hater? O.K. Hitler may have killed six million Jews. He may have
killed a couple of million Christians( although he was a Christian himself) but,
I have not come across any statement from any quarter if he killed any Muslims,
Hindus, Buddhists or Brahmans. In fact, to the people of India and other
countries he came like a Moses to deliver them from the bondage of the colonial
powers. Had he not wreaked the might of the colonial powers the countries from
Morocco to Indonesia would still be making bricks, drawing water and hewing
wood?
Hitler may have left
a” waiting wall” at Auschwitz. Is that the only “wailing wall” that the children
of Israel have? This needs a little introspection.
Hatred of Jews: You
are aware that my name is Ibrahim (Abraham). I do not have any daughters. I have
three sons only. The eldest is Yacoob (or Jacob or Israel). The second is
Ishaque (or Isaac). The third is Ismail (or Ishmael). If I were a Jew-hater,
would I name my children after such great people who are revered by the Jews and
much mentioned in the TORAH. You can answer it yourself.
My dear David, this is
the age of information technology. WE have had enough of hood-winking and all
rubbish going on for these thousands of years. Let us now turn to reason and
hard facts. Enough is enough. Let us not be emotional and reject reason blindly.
All the great Holy Books are there with us .The Vedas of Prophet Abraham with
the Brahmans, the Torah of Moses with the Jews, the Gospels of Jesus with his
followers and the Quran with the Muslims. Let us read them all and understand
them. They are all Divine Revelations revealed for the guidance of us pygmies.
All of these books contain wisdom of ages as well as Revelations of things to
come. Some are crystal clear and some are in code form. We have to decode them
for our own benefit. Neglect of them is our own loss and road-way to Hell. There
is no question of one hating the other. All mankind is one. Only we take
different routes to go places but the destination is one and the same. I will be
dead and gone in a few days or months time. You will soon follow me. Let us sit
down, put our heads together and leave a legacy for the future unborns yet to
come. Then we shall be able to stand up to our maker and tell Him that we did
our work and left the world as a better place to live in.
May
the Lord guide us all.
Amen.
