The mayor of London, Ken Livingstone, today said the row over whether Muslims should wear veils had parallels with the hounding of Jews in Nazi Germany.
Speaking at the launch of the first ever report into Muslims living in London, Mr Livingstone said much of the ongoing debate about Muslim dress implied the community "was somehow at fault" for being at the centre of the storm....
It is quite clear that the problems we have in Britain are not because Muslims wish to be separate ... I think the entire debate has been totally lopsided as though Muslims were somehow at fault for this," Mr Livingstone said.
"That echoes very much the demonology of Nazi Germany when Hitler said it was the Jews' fault and the problems were brought upon themselves. There is a faint echo of that in a lot of the rubbish we have been seeing in the media recently."
...He also welcomed this weekend's inaugural celebrations of Eid, one of the most auspicious days in the Muslim calendar, in Trafalgar Square. It is hoped the celebrations will become a regular fixture in the capital like Chinese new year and Diwali.
Last week, Mr Livingstone won his high court appeal against a month-long suspension for likening a Jewish reporter to a Nazi concentration camp guard.

Red Ken is right. The moslems are being demonized--by some of their own. Why don't the moslems close those false schools and throw the devil spawn out on their butts?
Ah. Didn't know that internet abbreviation.
Muslim: 'KABOOM!!!'...Eid? Oh, I thought you said IED!
You know Red Ken has lost the argument when starts comparing people to Nazis. Meanwhile Communists like Ken hate Israel and do everything to undermine it. And the left in general is over-run with Anti-Semitism. Not mention the Muslim population.
"Does this idiot need to be reminded that muslims sided with Hitler during WWII?"
This prick is in denial. Or a cowardly bastard. Or a treasonous SOB who deserves death for supporting our enemies. Or all three.
Truly, I hate traitors like this much, much more than the perverts in Al-Queerda.
Of course, Red King thinks Bush is the worst leader ever, so he thinks he's worse than Hitler, Stalin and Mao. I don't care what he thinks.
Well, when a group has a disproprotionately large number of members who act like demoniacs (cf. numerous publicly available videos of beheadings to the chanting of 'Allahu Akbar'), and the rest of the group either cheers (more demonic behavior) or is silent, it seems the group is self-demonizing.
It's almost funny, if you look on it as a silly absurdity. But, the ramifications are to serious. So, in fact, it's tragic.
Doesn't "Red Ken" also blame Israel and the Jews for everything?
They aren't being demonized; they are demons.
Islam was founded by one.
~~No doubt.
Cement his mouth shut and drop him in the Thames....
Well first of all this creep is an extreme leftist.
Leftists actively desire the overthrow of civilized society so that a communist paradise can be built on the ruins.
Unfortunately they enlist the help of the throat-slitters to destroy civilization. The throat-slitters will start slicing the liberals first, before they start on normal people.
Demonized?
Well, if the burka fits...
Didn't Red Ken get into trouble recently for accusing a Jewish reporter of acting like a Nazi concentration camp guard? (The only Jews he likes are dead ones.)
It's not the veils/headrags, whatever, any more than it was the yarmulke's.
It's about the RELIGION AND HOW IT THREATENS HUMANITY!!!!
The Nazis LIED about Judaism being a threat to humanity. They demonized Jews by playing on ignorance and suspicion. They LIED about the Jews.
There is no need to lie about Islam.
Islam HAS declared war on every other religion.
Islam IS a threat to humanity.
JUST as the Nazis were.
The headscarves of the Muslims = the swastika of Nazism.
They are symbols of a dangerous, threatening ideaology.
Sane people don't want the idealogy- OR the symbols of it.
