[Seeing More Clearly Now]

Yonif said: "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.

They are speaking out about the danger because they don't want to see the U.S. become susceptible to this evil.

Then why don't they say that rather than criticize Christians who support this film.

It makes little sense to diss your friends when you might fear that they would do something stupid like being critical of you.

I hope you understand what I just said because I am about to check out for some sleep.:-)

However, Germany was just one step out of being pagan barbarians, despite Beethoven and Goethe.

And it was a very young democracy and didn't have as many checks and balances as our republic does.

Nor was it a culture predominantly made up of peoples from all over the world.

That being said in favor of America, yes, "IT" could happen here. But I am more worried about "IT" being homosexuals or Hispanics than Jews.

What the hell are you talking about? Who was it that kicked Germany's ass in WW2 and freed the Jewish people from the concentration camps, if not my dad and my uncles and other brave Americans. Do you have any Idea how many gave their lives? Give me a break.
