It's about burial rights and ceremonies, damn it. It's not as if the world was on the verge of being destroyed over this. Muslims and jews have laws against cremation and require the dead person to burried within 24 hours, if I'm not mistaken. Is that worthy of a comparison with Nazis too?
Oh, Christ on a bike.
Fine. If a police captain orders his constables to frighten children by threatening their parents, is it wrong to criticize the orders? (Happy now? No Nazis, no ovens, no death camps. Sheesh.)
