A Tool to Fight Islamofacism â The Nazi Similarities
I have been working on how to convincingly argue against jihadist Islam's rise with the less informed people around me. Islamist terrorism represents such a virulent threat to our worldâs stability that I have resolved to devise a tool whereby moral relativism and multiculturalism can be put paid. The single most persuasive feature whereby Islamism can be isolated as the pathological meme it is manifests in showing the immense commonality shared by it and Nazism.I invite all Rantburgers to participate in this assessment. There is a wealth of historical and political expertise residing here that can very ably assist in proving or disproving this idea, and Iâd really enjoy developing such a concept if it is of worth. What follows are a dozen of the principal similarities and shared beliefs that I find these two murderous ideologies have in common: Foremost among them is the pursuit of genocide, no other single feature should overshadow the menace connoted by this filthy goal. 1) The way Islamists seek to recreate Hitlerâs âfinal solutionâ and routinely speak of âfinishing the jobâ begun by the Nazis as reflected in connections between Adolph Hitler, the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem Haj Amin el-Husseini and his nephew, Yasser Arafat. This vile goal and its complement, Holocaust Denial, represent a central feature of these evil ideologies. 2) To this day, Hitlerâs âMein Kampfâ remains among one of the best-selling books in the Middle East. 3) Restoration of lost glory with respect to the Caliphate or the reconstruction of post-WWI Germanyâs Reich both represent similar goals whose attainment would mean death on a massive scale for the globeâs population. 4) Assigning blame to the Jews for lack of success is used as a misdirection and scapegoat with regard to the actual faults of poor leadership or failed military adventurism. 5) Cultural purity as a dominant theme of philosophical chauvinism to elevate existing ideology above any possible dissent or questioning as personified by German âÃŒbermenschâ or Islamic jihadist mentality. 6) The tacit approval shown by both moderate Muslims and WWII Germans for absolutism and the atrocities committed in its name despite any infrequent outward condemnation made by either of them. 7) The impossibility of negotiating with Nazis or Islamists due to their ideological mandates and pursuit of global dominance. 8) An absolute prohibition of apostasy under penalty of death. 9) The use of atrocities and crimes against humanity as legitimate tools of war. 10) Commingling religious tenets and fascist doctrine with the intent of disguising political ideology as theistic creed. 11) The imperative aspect of totally eliminating such a dire threat to world peace. 12) The totally unacceptable nature of appeasing or coexisting with such a dangerous mindset. If those who are interested would please condense, clarify or correct any of the above points, Iâd be grateful. I seek to establish an undeniable construct whereby average people can both recognize the threat posed by Islamism and argue against it with their fellow citizen. Unfortunately, the collective memory of WWII is fading rapidly from global consciousness but remembrance of the Holocaust itself is just strong enough to remain in service of this cause. If the tide of Islamist fascism is to be stemmed, we will need to develop tools like the one I am mentioning here. I make no claim of having invented this notion, but seek to solidify it such that ordinary people can gain a better understanding of the threat posed and share it more clearly with others around them.
