Why try to turn Islam into 1940s Nazism, and that short lived moment under Hitler, that has nothing to do with Islam?

Why not expend the energy on actual Islam, a force for violence and world domination for 1400 years and that is worshiped by more than a billion humans?

I respect BCW's efforts here, but I gotta agree with you. Nazism was a belief system, but it was not an all-encompassing, all-consuming way of life like radical islam is.

The average nazi SS-man could be brutal, for sure, but he had thoughts of going home after the war. The average ISIS-inspired guy most probably doesn't think that way. Also, a year after the war, those former SS men were done, converted if you will. Will ISIS men every to away from radical islam? I think not.

Nazism and radical islam, both horrible, but fundamentally different, IMHO.

Ugh...I need to hire a secretary. In my post #15, second paragraph's ending should read:

Will ISIS men ever turn away from radical islam? I think not.

They are connected. Nazism (or national socialism) is dangerous because it provides the organization and political power the Islamists need to reach their goal.
