Oh, we are back to the Hitler analogies are we. I would love to be given the proverbial nickel for everytime Hitler appears in these arguments. Sometimes analogies are sound, even if they involve Hitler. Hitler ran for office in Weimar Germany but made no secret of his disdain for democracy. Ditto for any number of Islamist parties, such as the FIS in Algeria, when they have been allowed to run. The Islamists openly boast, "we will use your democracy to destroy your democracy". Are you ever going to answer my question, or does Keppel not actually have any examples of "democratic" Islamists?

Why not talk about now in the ME, not the 30s in Germany. Where do you think many Arab nationalists first obtained their inspiration?? Who do you think were the primary military advisors to many post-WWII Arab regimes?? What's the best selling political book in the Palestinian Territories and other regions of the middle east?? fpp.co.uk Do not ignore the influence that Nazism has upon the Arab world, especially given the anti-Jewish foundations of both Nazism and Baathism... Hitler may be dead, but just like Marxism-Leninism, many of his ideas live on. Hawk
