Islamist Leader Says Muslims Are the New Jews, Warns of Coming 'Holocaust'


On Sunday, an Islamist leader in Australia compared the plight of Muslims in the West today to that of Jews in Germany leading up to the Holocaust. He suggested that Muslims face the same fear and hatred that led Adolf Hitler to try to exterminate the Jews, and warned that a similar evil might be employed against Muslims in the near future.

"In Europe during the 19th and 20th century, the Jewish question interrogated the status of Jews and soon morphed from an allegedly neutral inquiry into a question of serious threat," Hamzah Qureshi, media representative at the Islamist organization Hizb ut-Tahrir, said at an event on Sunday. "Numerous 'answers' were proposed: resettlement, integration, assimilation, deportation, and so on, as Jews were labeled an obstacle to the German nation and the insidious enemy within."

Here's Christopher Hitchens in Slate, circa 2010: "Yes, we all recall the Jewish suicide bombers of that period, as we recall the Jewish yells for holy war, the Jewish demands for the veiling of women and the stoning of homosexuals, and the Jewish burning of newspapers that published cartoons they did not like."

Perhaps less flippantly, someone should tell Bernie Sanders that Islam is not a race. Hitler did not care if the Jews he massacred believed in Yahweh or not — he wanted to kill everyone who did not fit his racial standards. The Germans did not fear the Jews because there were Hebrew calls for a holy war. There were no Jewish terror attacks in 1930s Germany.

Judaism is also fundamentally politically different from Islamism. Islamists believe in instituting Sharia (Islamic law) by political power, and they encourage violence to achieve that goal. Jews today — like Jews then — peacefully abide by the laws in the countries where they live.
