The line that bin Laden and al Quada are like Arafat are like the Saudis are like Saddam are like Nazis are like whatever piece of the Arab / Muslim world that needs demonization at the moment for propaganda purposes is an old and popular one around here.

Win, You may have stumbled onto something! Let's turn the first part of your assertion into a question:

Are "bin Laden and al Quada are like Arafat are like the Saudis are like Saddam are like Nazis"?

Arafat and some Saudis are so like nazis they publish the Protocols of Zion, and advocate exterminating Jews. Saddam runs a fascist party. Al Qaeda and bin Laden and some Saudis advocate forced conversion of kaffirs and untermensch following the usual islamist program of dhimmitude - a program quite similar in essentials to the nazi program with regard to slavs. The kaffirs who resist, (me, for instance), should be killed.

The individuals and organizations mentioned above and some Saudis are actively anti-democratic, like nazis.

I know, I'm really being "cheesy" in that I'm stating facts - they say and do these things, don't they? Have I misunderstood what they've said and done? I'm sure, if I have, you'll correct me.

False dichotomies are probably second only to straw men in the cheesy high school debate tricks arsenal.

"Dichotomies"!! I could swear that what's described above are similitudes or identities and materially correct ones, at that.
