Nope one big difference is that we bombed the germans into compliance..By the time we were in germany, most of the people were convinced they were done.. Unlike the Muzzies we havent done any really hard damage to convince them... We need another Dresden or Hamburg.. Then we may get through to these savages...
I agree wholeheartedly about the bombing. But the enemy that is Islam is not as conveniently isolated as was Nazi Germany.
The ideaology that was Nazism was dealt a fatal blow when its leader and his government was destroyed.
The toxic ideaology that is Islam has produced millions of Hitlers, and no one,central, target that will eliminate them.
My point was that the free world-THEN- did not labor so hard to find the ‘good’ in the Nazi ‘theology’,if you will. If someone identified themselves as a believer in Nazism we considered them the enemy because WHAT THEY BELIEVED WAS!
Yet, here the world is trying so hard to separate Muslims from Islam the way no one would have insisted on separating Nazis from Nazism. In a way Muslims, themselves, refuse to be separated!
The difference now, IMO, is that we have taken in the enemy ideaology as a Trojan horse, and to eliminate it will mean fighting-not the enemy headquartered in a distant country but the enemy next door.
As a society, we may not have the stomach for that. We insist on believing the majority of Muslims are good, because we don’t want to face the immense threat their numbers represent. It’s scary to think Muslims in our daily lives are our enemies, so we reject the idea and so any thought of having to do something about it.
Islam’s first response to those who say it is not a ‘religion of peace’ is to violently attack those who say it.
We’re already self-censoring ourselves in language,and in our culture. How many more concessions will we make, to avoid confrontation, before we have nothing left to concede?
