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.

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.

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

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.

I would not. Muslims view themselves members of the Ummah - the Muslim nation. In war, it is customary to sequester enemy aliens and their allies until hostilities have ceased.

This IS a war, regardless if YOU think it is.

In current parlance, "concentration camp" is the same as a "death camp". I'm certain you know that well enough. An "internment camp" is entirely different. Unless you are going to continue to claim that our government was "Nazi" in the 40s... We have similar warnings as to the loyalties of Muslims now that we had naturalized Japanese back then. Muslims in this country have done NOTHING but whine and have disabused any reasonable notion that they don't in the end agree with bin Laden. Perhaps they disagree on method, but I KNOW CAIR is on the same page with bin Laden.
