This conservative thinks the OP makes an excellent point. Radical Islam = Nazi Germany. mainstream Muslims = mainstream Germans. The FreeRepublic morons can't stop yapping about this stupid issue.

Islam = Nazi but Arab = German, Persian = German.
Someone could be from a Middle Eastern country and not be a Muslim - just like someone could be from Germany and not be a Nazi.
It's the ideology that's the problem, not the ethnicity.
There are no mosques that are designated "radical" or "mainstream", they're all part of the same totalitarian anti-Jew and anti-Christian ideology. There isn't much difference between Islam and Nazism.
Don't disagree but it doesn't really change my analogy.

See above.

Nazism is an ideology, many of the hardcore believed in genocide and Aryan supremacy. Just as mainstream muslims don't believe in the destruction of the Jews, the mainstream Germans didn't believe in the destruction of Europe.
If one chooses to quote the Qu'ran, they must quote from the Torah and discuss it's "destruction to all" clauses.

What a Pathetic attempt at Race Baiting and an INSULT to Americans of Italian,German and Japanese ancestry.
So are you accusing Newt Gingrich of race baiting, because he did make those comparisons. I notice that many of the teabaggers on here on here say that they have no problems with something German next to the Holocaust museum, yet are silent when Newt says he has a problem with the Japanese building something near Pearl Harbor. More hypocrisy from the teabaggers? me thinks yes
Germans are lily white and look like Anglos, Mayflower descendents and other "crackas". That close association brings them together against the "olive skinned smelly arab". Plus, many of your average "teabaggers" ancestors are part German. It's perfectly logical that the progressive RINOs who infest the real tea party like a cancer would protect their own.
You are forgetting one very important thing both Germany and Japan lost the war. gave up the weapon, gave up their ideology, and are our allies.
What were you saying about saving us from the dark ages???
Muslim all over the world 10%-25% believe that they are in a holly war against the infidels.
Where do you see the parallel exactly?
The Islamic world did indeed save the knowledge/culture of Rome and Greece when Christian zealots helped to bury our intellectual heritage. For example, the Great Library at Alexandria was burned and its curator Hypaetia was skinned alive by Christian mobs at the behest of the Bishop of Alexandria because the knowledge housed in this Library (founded by Alexander the Great) was thought to be the work of Satan. By contrast, the Caliphates established in Persia, Baghdad, Damacus, Cairo and Spain built great universities and set about collecting books and other documents to save this knowledge in the lands they ruled. When Islam reached India they adopted the modern system of numbers and the concept of zero. Algebra is a form of symbolic calculation and has an arabic name for a reason, it was invented ny Muslims. Muslim unversities had Jewish scholars, are you familiar with Maimonidias? He was one of the architects of the modern Talmud or Jewish commentaries on Gods's law. He was also a great Jewish physician and was the personal physician of Salladin the Great (The man who crushed the Crusaders). In Christain Europe it was not safe to be a Jew and many beaten or burned alive. One of the targets of the Christain inquistions were Jews.
As for Islam having its zealots, it does but there are just as many Christains over its history who have distinguished themselves by burning innocent people for witchcraft, conducting pogroms against Jews and the Roma people,
and Hitler's holocaust was conducted by a so called "Christian"nation and the Germans got a lot of help from other so called Christian nations like Poland and France when they moved to make all of Europe Juden Frei. Christian terrorism is even with us today. In Serbia/Bosnia/Kossovo, in Northern Ireland and Lebanon Christians still kill for the hell of it. Also in our great country how many christians persecute gays, minorities and non-believers. I even hear there are groups like the KKK where Christians can hate Catholics because they are the wrong type of Christian.
Is this a serious question? I don't see why people would get so upset about these things.
First, in basic European history classes, we're taught that though the majority of Germans, even though loved Hitler, had no idea that he was planning to do exactly what the Holocaust did, even though he had written all about it in his book "Mein Kampf".
Second, the Holocaust happened 70 years ago. It's about time to be PEACEFUL, don't you think?
Is this be appropriate? Newt said he was against the Japanese building something near Pearl Harbor. What about Italians building a center near a memorial for WW2 veterans? Is this similar to Muslims building a mosque near ground zero?
Which was built first?
