And I actually agree that the rhetoric is eerily similar too the anti Semitic rhetoric of the early 20th century. Here is a big difference though. The Jews of the 30s were mostly quite moderate and modern for the Time. However the difference is now that we have extremists in the Muslim camp that are rarely condemned by other Muslims.
Stop right there. Their condemnation just isn't as newsworthy as the actual attacks. But it is there, after every attack, and can be found, if you're not only looking for juicy headlines.
I'm the last to defend radicalism. It's revolting in every aspect. But as a member of a Holocaust survivor family, I take a very big issue with condemning any given group for what their radicals do. Even more so, if facts and figures can be easily looked up. Only 4 percent of terrorist attacks in the EU and only 5 percent of attacks in the USA are religiously motivated. According to Europol and FBI statistics in the public domain. And that's not even singling out Islamist terror. Only religious terror.
