"Without sliding into a dangerous discussion here, it was a little more complicated than that. There was a lot of resentment in Europe in the 30's against the Jews because they were associated to the Socialist-Communist Internationalism...a little bit like we now associate every Muslims to International Terrorism."
Can you believe this crap? So the Nazis didn't like Jews just because some Jews were Communists. And then comparing this to Muslims whose religion dictates that they kill infidels.
Admin Mod - don't you think the hook is needed here?
Waving around a hook might dislodge the "Muslims are required to kill non-Muslims" assumption on which your argument so precipitously hangs.
From one way of looking at it, the comparison is not too outrageous. Looking at it from the perspective of the German middle class in the 1920's, they had seen the 1918 Russian Revolution come to power with a disproportionately large number of Jewish names (Jewish ethnicity, not necessarily religiously Jewish) among the leadership. Just after WW-I the Spartacist League tried a Communist Revolution in Germany. In 1919 they saw Bela Kun stage a bloody Communist revolution in Hungary
So it was not hard to radicalize the German middle class with the notion that they faced the risk of liquidation in a Communist takeover
