Why did Muslim radicals kill male gynocologists?

Some Islamic countries don't like to do business with any Jews, period. Makes no differeince if their name *appears* to be a stereotypical Jewish name. This question brought to mind an incident that happened in the United States involving a company's contract with the Egyptian government.

The conditions of the contract would be thought of as highly illegal today,and even then actually violated laws, but this IS what happened as told to me by two of the employees involved. In the late 60's when computers were still very large (large enough to crawl inside the cabinets), the Egyptian government had contracted with a company in the United States that also had contracts with NASA,to purchase a couple of computers. Much about the contract was kept hush-hush.

Everyone just knew it was for something "big". Early on, those who were chosen to design and build the computers noticed that instead of using a particular division as was usual for such contracts, they were picking employees from different groups to put together for a team. One of them was a Muslim immigrant from Jordan (the former Hashemite kingdom ) who had lived as a citizen of Israel after 1948 for a short time before he came to the U.S. He still had much family left there.

He discovered that there was a reason that this project had everyone working on it picked from different crews and not even always picking the people who were best qualified for the job. They were picked according to the specific instructions of the Egyptian government. He was very upset about this situation and told his best friend, a Jew, did he notice that NONE of the Jewish employees were working on this project?

Why..yes, his friend said now that he thought about it, he thought it strange that he, as the most senior employee who was most familiar with this particular type of computer would have been excluded, and once he thought about it more he realized that a few other employees that were puzzled they were not working on it were also Jewish. His friend told him that their company only had the contract because their company had agreed to forbid any Jew to work on it. They knew they had been in the running for this project with the only other company that could have possibly even made these computers.

Most employees assumed they were chosen other the other company because of all the work they'd done with advanced computer technology for NASA. Well, that wasn't the case. It was because their company was so willing to refuse to use any Jews.

His friend had been shown the terms of the contract that he was told were "top secret" after he asked ..why could he not be working with his most competient co-workers, and specifically named his Jewish best friend? ...He was told that the only way their company was able to get the contract was to promise the Egyptian government in the contract itself that NO JEW would even see the plans or touch the computers, so of course no Jew could work on the project. He was also violating the terms of his contract to TELL this much to his friend.

His conscience would not permit him to keep this unethical behavior from his friend. He never revealed the plans or purpose of the computers to anyone, but he did reveal why his friend and the other Jewish employees were not permitted to work on the contract. This was a big deal for the company and meant a lot of money, so rather than make a huge stink and cost other friends their jobs, or their own retirements they'd built up for years, they decided to deal with their frustration another way.

Both of these friends were also practical jokers, so the Jewish man made a lovely metal placard that his dear Muslim friend permanently affixed deep INSIDE each computer just before they were shipped off to Egypt. They were written in HEBREW and said MADE IN ISRAEL. Of course they never heard what happened..because where the signs were located wouldn't be seen until they needed servicing.. But we always said, wouldn't you have loved to have been there when someone found those?

I am reminded of a tale concerning a Jewish man who was appointed british ambassador to saudi arabia, when the saudis discovered he was Jewish, they would not accept his credentials. The man was contacted by a Jewish newspaper, and asked if he was disapointed? , the man replied, " no it may be for the best, as there is no Synagouge there!.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
