Hey MM, its not quite appropriate to compare Hitler and Muslims. I mean, he didn't walk around and shoot people, not did he cut their throats on TV!

e Muslims have several of their leaders who have avowed goals to "Wipe Israel off the map". That's called intent to commit genocide.

Removing Israel is not the same as genocide. If you read exactly what the Muslim dictators say it's almost always an objection to Zionists, which is not the same as a Jew. I'm not defending extremist loonie Muslim leaders, just trying to help you understand their objection. It's not against a general religious group, it is against a group that has taken land that they consider to be historically theirs.

And wiping Israel off the map could theoretically be accomplished without a single death, in the same way that the formation of the Czech Republic and Slovakia wiped Czekoslovakia off the map. Two countries replaced one, nobody died.

I think Muslims attitudes aren't helping matters.

Sure.....if you are looking at the dispute only from the American or Israeli side.......but you must know there are always two sides.

I'm simply pointing out how poorly behaved they are. As far as my comparing Muslims to Hitler, I think it's very appropriate. Afterall, Hitler wanted to wipe out the Jews. The Muslims have several of their leaders who have avowed goals to "Wipe Israel off the map". That's called intent to commit genocide. Hitler got close to completing his goal. The Muslims have tried for 50 years to finish what Hitler started. The only difference this time around is that the Jews have bigger weapons. So is it correct to compare Muslims to Hitler? You bet it is. If the shoe fits...

Right. I give up.
