I hit the same thought here: "But compare the Nazis to the Islamist murder-cult on this point: The Islamist murder-cultists don't attempt to conceal their savagery from the public they live amongst; rather, they proudly announce the full dimensions of their crimes, and are furthermore adulated by many in response.
"If we reject excusing the bulk of the German populace for the crimes committed by the Nazis, how on earth can we continue insisting that it's merely "a few lunatics" responsible for Islamist savagery? As ghastly a thought it is to minimize German viciousness during the Nazi era to any extent, at least the Nazis suspected the German people would be disgusted were they to know the full extent of what Hitler's psychopathic program.
"Apparently Islamist murderers have little trepidation about such concerns.
When a psychopathic movement does not even feel the least need to conceal its butchery from the society supporting it, but rather trumpets that savagery in videotaped murder-pageants, I think we've crossed the line where we can honestly speak of "fringe elements" and "a few rogue actors.""
