" JERUSALEM (AP) -- Tears welling in his eyes, an elderly Holocaust survivor on Thursday embraced the son of the Albanian man who saved him from the Nazi death camps, highlighting the little-known role played by European Muslims in helping Jews during World War II.

The two met for the first time at a photography exhibition at Yad Vashem, Israel's official Holocaust memorial, honoring Albanians who sheltered Jewish refugees fleeing Nazi persecution. Albania, a tiny European country with a Muslim majority, sheltered about 1,000 Jews who, except for one family, survived Nazi occupation, according to officials."

Yeah, and Hitler loved his dogs. A few good apples aren't going to redeem the bunch.

Islam is the enemy. Sorry.

Guess you didn't know about the 1 million Turkish Jews who were whisked out of Europe by their government. I recall the story of one Turkish diplomat in France who plopped himself inside the door of a cattle car, telling the Nazi officers that if they were taking his fellow countrymen to a death camp he was going with them. Turkey was neutral at the time, but the Nazis knew better than to argue with them.

Turks are great people, known a few and plan to travel there someday. But according to my grandfather's accounts of fighting alongside them in Korea, I would not want to get on their bad side.

You've convinced me. Muslims are the kindest, most philanthropic, benevolent people on the Earth. Where do I get my Quran? By the way -- You are wearing your Burkha, aren't you? I'd hate to be able to see your ankle and then have to stone you to death.
