I think you need a history lesson if you think the Japanese weren't on par with the islamdethals. The Japanese slaughtered millions of Chinese, Phillipinos, and pretty much everyone else they encountered. Contests to see who could kill the most prisoners and betting on the side. POW camp officers eating the hearts and livers of executed prisoners. Executions that were conducted by slicing bellies open and allowing pigs to eat the intestines of living prisoners. Testing of bio and chemical weapons on civilian alike.
nazis who dealt with the Japanese were horrified at their brutality.
I don't need a history lesson at all. Yes, the Japanese of WW2 were brutal and killed and brutalized millions but they wore uniforms and you at least had a chance to survive in captivity. You have NO chance whatsoever with the beasts we are up against today. It's as if they are like the WW2 Japs and much, much more brutal.
