"Since you brought it, you must consider yourself no different from a Nazi defender, given your support of concentration camps for people whose religion and/or ethnicity you dislike."

If I'm a Nazi for advocating internment during a war, then so was the FBI and the rest of the US government in the 40s. In fact, so were the Swiss and other neutral nations. The UK even.

Of course, you're trying to imply that an internment camp is equivalent to a Nazi death camp (modern use of "concentration camp")....

More hyperbole in the support of bin Laden.

There's internment of foreign nationals and there's internment based on ethnic background and/or religious views. If you find the comparison of yours I used to be uncomfortable, perhaps you would like to retract it.

The survivors I know have never had any trouble distinguishing between the Nazis' death camps and their concentration camps. Sorry if that rains on your parade.
