I think the lesson is that comparing everything bad in the world to the Nazi's is a silly exercise in historical ignorance and intellectual bankruptcy.

I agree with you to some extent. Naziism is one thing that most people can agree upon as evil. To apply it to everything bad in the world tends to dilute its symbolism and, you're right, becomes a silly exercise in historical ignorance and intellectual bankruptcy. On the other hand, the parallels between Naziism and Islamic terrorist imperialism are too striking to be ignored, and I think the comparison is a valid one.
