Yep. Just like those danged British not realizing that they could have had "peace" if they simply gave Hitler what he wanted. Why can't people ever learn?

Sorry. You lose.

Godwin's Law: prov.

[Usenet] “As a Usenet discussion grows longer, the probability of a comparison involving Nazis or Hitler approaches one.” There is a tradition in many groups that, once this occurs, that thread is over, and whoever mentioned the Nazis has automatically lost whatever argument was in progress. Godwin's Law thus practically guarantees the existence of an upper bound on thread length in those groups. However there is also a widely- recognized codicil that any intentional triggering of Godwin's Law in order to invoke its thread-ending effects will be unsuccessful.

Actually, you lose unless "Godwin's law" simply means that no one can mention World War II or the conditions that led to it, including the policy of appeasement.

In my analogy, the terrorists are akin to the Nazis. You are akin to Neville Chamberlain, in that you seem to think that appeasement will end the threat.

Maybe you should read this:

Islam’s Nazi Connections





If you do a google search on the Muslim Brotherhood and the Islam-Nazism connection you will find that the death cult of Hitler did not end with WWII. It found it's survival and consequent modern expression in radical Islam.

Real world response:
Goodwin's law does not apply when dealing with genocidal behavior against Jews.
