I just want to ask a follow up question, not to necessarily change your mind, but to see how you would react to something similar yet different. Say a group of Neo Nazi's moved into the house across the street from you, they collect Nazi propaganda, have swastikas tatted on their bodies, fly a Nazi flag in the front yard, meet at Nazi and kkk rallies regularly, carry a copy of Mein Kampf with them, and often times bring up conversations about how great they think Hitler was, occasionally some of them might try to convert you to their way of thinking, but they are not overly pushy about it. Would you treat them exactly the same as in "if they arn't violent, then there is nothing to worry about." Or would the group of Nazi's make you a little more uneasy?I really think you should stop analogies without much sense - Nazism and Islam aren't exactly the same, ya know? And I think that's probably what would trigger an offensive reaction from a Muslim

Of course I wouldn't be easy on a Nazi group, granted that my country doesn't allow racism groups to be recognized as illegal - There's still one party that hides racism behind fancy words - I don't ignore them, I fight against them within the possible means, I don't want to go back 100 years because some people want to bring back fascism.
Whoever fights monsters should see to it that in the process he does not become a monster. And if you gaze long enough into an abyss, the abyss will gaze back into you
