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.

The Nazis' reasoning was similar. I see the connection is more than coincidental.

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.

Apparently, the "current parlance" is not as unanimous as you think.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Concentration_camp

In any case, that's splitting hairs. You want to imprison Americans based on their religion and/or ethnicity. You have done nothing to earn our trust that you won't want to escalate your concentration camps into extermination camps. And, most tellingly, you've never denounced the idea. The silence is deafening.

No, the "Nazi view" was to kill them all. The Allies interned them. There is a significant difference.

"Apparently, the "current parlance" is not as unanimous as you think."

Oh, "Wiki" as a source. LOL.

"You want to imprison Americans based on their religion and/or ethnicity."

Only their belief system. It is anathema to the West.

"You have done nothing to earn our trust that you won't want to escalate your concentration camps into extermination camps."

Who is this "we" in your "our" here? Regardless, Muslims have done NOTHING to earn OUR trust that they don't intend to destroy this country by driving it under the boot of Islam.

"And, most tellingly, you've never denounced the idea. The silence is deafening."

So does Michelle Malkin, by the way. So did the USSC once upon a time. You intern enemy aliens and their allies (by their identification with the Ummah first, they are alien to us) until the war is over.

"The silence is deafening."

What is deafening is the lack of support for your view on FR.
