“While it is not an exact comparison…”
Sorry Brian but there is NO comparison.
While I am not afraid of islam, I know what it stands for and I can see the results of its spread.
Where islam takes hold, freedom of conscience, freedom of speech and freedom of religion disappears.
More and more people are standing up to Islam, this hateful, violent, joyless, fascist ideology.
They will no longer defend an ideology that suppresses the freedom of speech.
They will no longer defend an ideology that persecutes minority religions.
They will no longer defend an ideology that treats women like chattel.
They will no longer defend an ideology that persecutes homosexuals.
Don’t compare my loathing of fascist ideologies to anti-Semitism.
As for “People in this country are using the fear of Islam to garner political support and money.”
Are you serious?
The reality is that most people who are speaking up against islam, questioning the ideology are prosecuted, persecuted and receive death threats.
Muslims who follow the example of Muhammad kill or issue death threats against anyone who says the “wrong” thing. Many people and groups censor themselves and/or go into hiding and/or hire bodyguards. For example,
Molly Norris; the producers of South Park; journalist Lawrence O’Donnell; cartoonist Lars Vilks; philosopher Robert Redeker; filmmaker Theo Van Gogh; authors Hirsi Ali and Salman Rushdie; Danish newspaper Jyllands Posten; atheist Sabri Husibi; lyricist Javed Akhtar; cartoonist Kurt Westergaard; the Yale University Press; the Metropolitan Museum of Art; the director of the film 2012; the comedian Penn Jillette; the British potter Grayson Perry; lawyer Majed Moughni; author Taslima Nasreen; disc jockey/musician Jakub Rene Kosik; and countless others.
It definitely doesn’t pay to rally against the fascists and their enablers.
