No, because the slogans come right out of Goebbels book. If you watched some of his speeches on jews, you would notice that it's partly a word for word rendition of what he said. Only changing the word jew to muslim.
If that kind of approach isn't clear, nothing is. Race is entirely secondary, since racism is only the son of bigotry, same as antisemitism. And bigotted this is. So one finds themselve in the peculiar situation of coming to the defense, since this isn't aimed at religion. It's aimed at people, a whole broad brushed group of them. And one can't have that, unless one wants a second helping of what happened in the 1940ies at some point in time.
People are already incited and ready to jump at every opportunity to share their suspicions and hatred. It only takes a little more pushing to turn that into violent action. In fact, obviously it doesn't, going what happened at that mosque a few weeks ago. It's already started, and not a single word from the likes of Trump. Different country, sure, but he's quick to invent international incidents to condemn them, such as the bullshit on Sweden. A real one doesn't rock his boat apparently. Not if it's directed against the right people and a white supremacist doing it - in his name.
