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.

The messed up text has been going on too long Free Republic. It’s aggravating and should have been fixed long ago. What are you doing with all that money you beg for? Hire an IT person already.
Sorry Spike, per Goodwin's law, you lose! (Goodwin wasn't even needed, however, to know you lose.)
Spike Lee hat keine Ahnung.
Man....until Spike Lee said THIS, I wasn;t going to vote for TRUMP.......NOW....FOR SURE!!!
Not a white face to be seen!! RACISTS!!!
That photo makes me wanna retch
Do you have any news on this? I know anyone new visiting this place will not return. I was able to edit out most of the crazy characters but when I posted some new ones popped up. I have never seen a website/forum with this problem.
Well Spike why don’t you move over there and see how they treat you. How many refugee’s you taking in?
When the Blacks have served the muslim’s purpose, they will do with and to them as they did in Africa from the 1300’s to 1800’s: Enslave them and sell them to the highest bidder again.
Lee on Islam...like isolationist towards Nazi
stfu spike lee.
There’s white trash, brown trash, mixed trash, etc. etc and then there’s black trash that usually goes by a word starting with an “N”.
Spike Lee fits into the latter category. Always has. Just because he has an artistic streak does not excuse him from being the trash he is.
He proves it when he comes up with nonsense like this.
Sad really. He could have been one of those great men who inspired others to be better than they could imagine. Instead he inspires others to be much worse than they would have been had they not had him in their lives.
So sad on every level.
If only. Everyone else is like Chamberlain to Hitler.
Spike Lee doesn’t know his ass from a tar pit.
I guess blacks are like Hitler against the whites hey spike??
Lee is like a horny Muzzie in a herd of goats.
Spike needs to familiarize himself with WWII history. He’d find that Hitler befriended the Muzzies because they shared mutual enemies: France, Britain, Jews, Commies.
So, Spike is also a mental midget? Who knew? lol
I bein’ oppressed by da White man! I really should be livin’ in a 100 mil crib. This is racis!
