6. And Damned Quickly Too, My Friend
Edited on Fri Jun-18-04 11:34 AM by The Magistrate
As in most such instances, the reference is wholly misguided, and achieves no more than communication of the utter's ignorance concerning the Nazi phenomenon, and and makes clear that the utter intends to propagandize, and not to discuss. This article, put most broadly, posits a great distinction between good Muslims and bad Muslims, and hopes for rescue of the former from the latter. That is an element wholly absent from the Nazi outlook, which viewed all Jews as base and tainted by the fact of their being Jews; the crime being in the blood, as opposed to in any deed done by an individual. It was in fact a common complaint of Nazi ideologues that "every German has his 'good Jew'", who he does not wish to see punished with the rest.

As you said above, the article is an odd mixture of sense and barnyard litter. Its author might do well to turn the same critical eye in two directions: the current "Crusade" to spread "Freedom" by the profoundly fundamentalist regime currently lording it over the United States, and towards a closer examination of Jewish history, particularly in the Temple period.
