[QUOTE="mindlight, post: 74070216, member: 21246"] I was not born German as you know, but I will say it anyway just to be clear for this thread. But most Germans alive today would also disassociate themselves from Hitler and the Nazis so calling yourself a German today is something profoundly different than it was. These are not concentration camps comparable to Auschwitz for instance where millions of people were exterminated. The better parallel would be Siberian gulags as with Communist Russia where people were sent to work off their bourgeoise sins and be re-educated to be good communists. So Leftwing Stalin or Mao not right wing Hitler would be the monster lurking in the background here. I supported the Muslim immigrations, I encourage my children to relate to Muslims as people first and indeed my daughters best friend is a Muslim. We also have Muslim neighbours. But organised radical extremism amongst Muslims required a similarly radical response. While I may disagree with Chinese Communism as being a rather vacuous or rather second level set of goals by comparison to a Christian theological worldview the Chinese methodology is exactly the one that will hurt Islam most by destroying all communal endorsement of the believers faith and the removing of the external props on which it relies. Muslims are extraordinarily vulnerable to such political controls as the reconquistada in Spain and liberation of the Balkans , Israel and India all indicated. At the end of the day my personal conviction is that there is no God at the heart of Islam and it is just a political ideology/culture at the end of the day. [/QUOTE]
