Die Schlussel in Der Spiegel
So, I was quoted by Germany’s Der Spiegel on Islamic terrorist Nidal Malik Hasan, perpetrator of the Fort Hood massacre, an Islamic terrorist attack. I can understand everything but the last sentence, since I don’t speak German. I know that “Mondsichel” is a crescent moon, the symbol of Islam
“Er ist ein Muslim”, so begann der Moderator Bill O’Reilly die Hauptabendsendung des TV-Senders Fox News mit bebender Stimme – als erkläre das automatisch ein Motiv. “Das hat man ja kommen sehen”, schrieb die konservative Kolumnistin Debbie Schlussel in ihrem Blog. “Noch so ein loyaler, moderater, amerikanischer Muslim.” Darunter bildete sie zur Illustration die islamische Mondsichel ab.
As readers know, I don’t exactly have a great love for the Germans, even though I still have cousins (descendants of Polish Jewish Holocaust survivors, who stayed there after the war) who live there (my cousin Nick’s Bar Mitzvah was in his native Munich, a few years ago). My grandparents were survivors of the Holocaust, and they were lucky enough to survive their last camp, in Bergen Belsen, Germany, where my mother was born.
And sadly, the progeny of the old Nazis are embracing the new Nazis, Muslims.

I think its “Die” Schlussel since you are a woman.
MK: Thanks. Like I said, I don’t speak German. DS
