Yonif, I recognize your name, I pay attention to your posts, and I have a lot of respect for you. However, when it comes to the people of the U.S., at least the majority who are Christians, do you really think you have anything to worry about? We are in the sights of the "religion of peace" just as much as you are.

I didn't mean to say that as if it would occur in the US. I was saying that it brings back memories of something else, in a different place. That is why a lot of Jews are alarmed at that, because it brings back the past. Sorry if I confused you.

I'd like to expand on what Yonif said:

Since one era of the unpleasant past described is within the first hand memory of people living today (it's not ancient history), it is frightening to witness a similar possibly inciting phenomenon today. These are patriotic, grateful Americans who have seen for themselves that civilized, cultured societies can turn on a dime and become violent quicker than anyone would have imagined. They are speaking out about the danger because they don't want to see the U.S. become susceptible to this evil. The U.S. has been a blessed society with highminded standards of fair play, ethics, and tolerance and good people of all religions pray that it stays that way.
