You are a good man, Jambo. It's always noble to stand up for others who can't defend themselves. Just be sure to get back up after you get knocked down for doing it.
We probably should have updated that Hitler clothing story. Seems that Mr. Shah had totally no idea that Hitler was an asshole! I'm shocked I tell you, shocked to find out on the internet that this Hitler guy was really a serious asshole! Nobody can say Gujaratis lack a sense of humor. This guy got like a billion dollars in free publicity for his crappy T-shirt shop.
Quote:Hitler clothing store to get new name
Sept. 4, 2012 at 9:48 AM
AHMEDABAD, India, Sept. 4 (UPI) -- The co-owner of a clothing shop in India named Hitler said he will change the name of his store due to political pressure and protests.
Rajesh Shah said when he opened the store in Ahmedabad recently he was unaware that Hitler was the name of a Nazi dictator, Israeli broadcaster Arutz Sheva reported Tuesday.
"Hitler was a nickname given to my business partner Manish Chandani's grandfather because of his strict nature," said Shah. "It was only recently that we read about Hitler in the Internet."
Sources told The Times of India that Israel's consul general in Mumbai met with senior state government officials Monday to let them know that the shop's name upset members of the Jewish community both in India and around the world.
Consul General Orna Sagiv said she had received many complaints.
But wait! There's more! Janko in Egypt now!?! Janko the trendsetter, ahead of his time for Fuhrer Love?!?
Looks like the late 88 is still making it big with the kids these days, or at least with the muzzie kids who love that cool fascist way of keeping order and annihilating anybody who don't like it.

Is Egyptian Clothier Named ‘Hitler’ Indicative Of Nazi Reverence In Middle East?
by Noah Rothman | 12:18 pm, May 22nd, 2013
An Egyptian clothier is causing a stir on Wednesday after a report in the Israeli newspaper Haaretz identified the retail outlet’s odd choice of name: “Hitler.” The outlet, complete with a swastika it its logo, both confused and outraged the paper’s reporter and the source of the report. The Haaretz reporter noted that the explosion of retail outlets with a Nazi-themed branding may be indicative of a burst of sympathy for the German dictator.
“One small Arabic-language newspaper even went so far as to publish a fictional interview with Hitler in which the Fuhrer is depicted as a man of principle who picked on the strong European powers, and sought, as powerful Nazi propaganda once claimed, to liberate the weak in Africa and Asia,” the Haaretz report reads.
What all this suggests is that, even if a small percentage of Arabs have regarded and do regard Hitler as a hero, or even as a retail marketing asset, the vast majority see him as a murderous villain.
Except that in that neck of the woods "a murderous villain" is usually a government job prerequisite.

Oh sure. To stand up for something and complaining about when you get beaten down for it is not the way to go. You have to be aware of the risk it may entail before. I have some personal experience with that before - first, when I was put in jail in former communist East Germany for being a Christian, and on some occasions later. You may be well aware of the smear campaign by this loser of an Uncle Janko and his likes they started some years ago because of the school I have been running in Kenya. I even don't make any money with it....And I have handed over the leadership to native hands although I am still closely related with that project, and the school is in its 9th year now. We are doing hard and honest work there, and I have not given up although I readily admit that I have had severe emotional problems with the smear campaign they ran. And it is still going on:
http://www.degreediscussion.com/forums/v...42&start=0
But in the end, it made me feel stronger and even more ready to fight back if there was a good reason for it. It seems there are a lot of people who hate me because I am trying to do the right thing - I have outed Western low lives in China - like pedophiles, crooks and cheats who make Americans or Brits or other foreigners come over to teach English under false pretences, and so on....- and some of them are serving a Chinese prison sentence now...
No, I will not give up and stop anything I believe in doing. If I did, it would be a shame and I could no longer see my face in the mirror next morning without becoming red because of such shame.
And for sure, I am not the only one to do that. I feel I am good company with other like-minded people.
Kind regards,
Jambo

Unfortunately Indians see British as being the biggest assholes. Hitler never slaughtered them by the thousands and enslaved them for over 200 years.

Gotta hand it to Janko. He's been busier since he crashed the Yugo than he ever was while he was alive.
Quote:Hitler Cups 'Unintentionally' Sold in German Store
MAINZ, Germany - A furniture store in western Germany sold nearly 200 coffee mugs bearing a portrait of Nazi leader Adolf Hitler after it mistakenly ordered 5,000 of the cups from China.
The company put the cups on display at four of its outlets before the "bad buy" was recognized, one of the store's owners said on Friday.
“Our staff is devastated by this very unfortunate error,” Christian Zurbrueggen, co-owner of the Zurbrueggen chain store told NBC News. “We have been in touch with the manufacturer ... to prevent further distribution of these nasty cups.”
Zurbrueggen is one of the region's leading homeware stores.
The vintage-style cups show a washed-out black-and-white stamp from Hitler’s Third Reich with a swastika and a portrait of the infamous dictator. Embedded in roses and cursive English script, the picture went unnoticed by the company’s buying agents when they ordered the items at a Chinese trade fair.
A mug with a print of a faded stamp with a portrait of Nazi dictator Adolf Hitler is pictured in Herford, Germany, on Thursday.
Last week, after three or four days on store shelves, a salesperson recognized the Hitler image on the cups, which were on sale for approximately $2.70.
“We unintentionally ordered these cups and want to take them out of circulation as quickly as possible,” Zurbrueggen said. His company is offering customers a $27 voucher for the return of already sold mugs. “A total of 175 cups have been sold, but luckily six mugs have already been returned."
The remaining 4,825 cups have been destroyed, said Zurbrueggen, who wants to reclaim all costs from the Chinese supplier.
Displaying swastikas and other Nazi symbols is illegal in Germany, but it is unlikely the incident will have legal consequences.
“Police are presently collecting evidence and will forward their findings to the prosecutor’s office, where we will have to determine whether there would be reasonable suspicion of a deliberate act,” said Christoph Mackel of the prosecutor’s office in Bielefeld.
