Filmmaker Spike Lee sees parallels between GOP presidential front-runner Donald Trump and Nazi leader Adolf Hitler.
âHe wants to close down the mosques now,â Lee said Monday in an interview with The Daily Beast, referring to Trump.
âThatâs like the Nazis,â Lee continued. "Thatâs Hitler, [Italian fascist leader Benito] Mussolini, the Axis powers.
âYou canât do that,â he added.
Trump is pushing for closer scrutiny of Americaâs Islamic communities following last monthâs terrorist attacks in Paris. About 130 people died and more than 300 others were wounded during coordinated violence across the French capital on Nov. 13.
Trump has responded by calling for stricter surveillance of the nationâs mosques following the attacks. He has also proposed a national registry of Syrian refugees.
Lee also rejected Trumpâs disputed claims that some Muslim Americans in New Jersey celebrated the 9/11 terrorist attacks.
âThat was a bold-faced lie,â he said in The Daily Beast interview. "Muslims were getting their asses kicked in this country when that happened.
âHereâs the thing: the United States has perfected the science of âthe boogeyman,ââ Lee said. "Native Americans, African Americans, Hispanics, Nazis, Soviets, Chinese and now it is Muslims. Theyâre the new boogeymen.â
Lee then challenged the assertion that radical Islam is the sole inspiration for terrorism.
âThe Planned Parenthood shooter, that guy is a terrorist, too,â he said, referencing last weekâs attack at one of the organizationâs facilities in Colorado Springs, Colo.
âThatâs not the first time some Planned Parenthood building has been shot up,â Lee continued. "Thatâs terrorism.

When it comes to telling the truth about public policy, Spike Lee refuses to Do The Right Thing.
He's selling his NYC place for $32 million.
Yeah, fight that power, eh?
Godwin’s law is going to be invoked, quite often for the next few years.
Boring argument.
Hi Spike. Projecting again, are we?
Godwin’s Law has been invoked.
Spike Lee is a Loser.
Islam is fascist totalitarianism with a goal of world conquest/domination..All non-Muslims must convert, submit or die.
apparently the foo is a member of the wite mans One Percent!?
If only.
Spike seems to be unhappy living here, and would prefer the company of others. Perhaps he could apply to move to Communist China? Or maybe more to his liking, Tehran?
Odd that he doesn’t do that.
Spike Lee needs to sit down and read the koran and understand what the muslims intend for him.
Maybe if ole Spike grew up in an islam dunghole with his wife then she could maybe educate him unless she too was a muzzy scum.
To not see the evil in islam is to be a complete idiot.
“He’s selling his NYC place for $32 million.”

And this is the hypocrite that was furious because his old,ratty neighborhood in Brooklyn was being gentrified.
I guess he believed in, “Seedy neighborhood okay for thee,but not for me.”
.
Hitler loved the Muslims.
Admired them also.
Shows how much Spike Lee knows about anything.
So to Spike Lee the Jews were feared by Hitler because they were an organized caliphate that murdered infidels and Christians by the thousands?
Hey Spike I thought W. wuz Hisssler?
Gee Spike, you’re sayin’ that like it’s a bad thing.
The muslims hated the Jews; Hitler like the Muslims.
Spike misses again.
Where was all the “like Hitler” talk when Diane Feinstein famously said, âIf I could have gotten 51 votes in the Senate of the United States, for an outright ban, picking up everyone of them (every gun) Mr. and Mrs. America, turn âem all in. I would have done it.â
“Muslims were getting their asses kicked in this country when that happened.”
That is the lie.
