Scot Muslim compares Brits to Nazis
JTA - Global Jewish News ^ | December 12, 2006

One of Scotland’s most prominent Muslims compared the treatment of Muslims in Britain to that of Jews in Nazi Germany.

Osama Saeed compared the “sustained barrage of verbal abuse being aimed at Muslims” in Britain today to state-sponsored persecution of Jews in prewar Germany.

Saeed is the Scottish spokesman for the Muslim Association of Britain and a former Scottish National Party candidate.

“Hitler was a product of German society, where anti-Semitic attitudes had existed unchecked for decades. We have got to listen and learn from what happened there and be vigilant,” Saeed said.

“I am not talking about large numbers of people being rounded up, but we could be looking at situations where Muslims are routinely assaulted in the streets.”

Murdo Fraser, deputy head of the Scottish Conservative party, expressed discomfort with Saeed’s comments.

“I don’t think it’s a rational response to compare the treatment of Muslims in today’s Britain in any way to the horrific treatment that the Jewish people suffered at the hands of the Nazis,” Fraser said.

“An approach of this sort will win no friends.”
