...the attitudes and opinions on Islam are just as flawed, or no more flawed, than were the attitudes and opinions against Judaism for the last 1000 years.....people like Maher now see what was wrong about those opinions, why they were "flawed"......but he can't see the same flaws in his attitude towards Islam.

Then too "intellectual" and "good" Christians saw a real danger to "our way of life" from Judaism...of course now, after murdering millions of Jews, most of us are willing to admit we were wrong, really, REALLY wrong. But we believed it all passionately and with just as little actual evidence THEN as we believe we are, again, justified in fearing Islam..."which is a REAL threat"! They shout....just as they shouted the same against Judaism, and believed it too, just as much and with just as little evidence.

The difference between now and then is media, for one thing, and an evolution and refinement of modern Fascism. The war against "Jewish Terror" was fought at the infancy of mass-media and propaganda...the Fascist State, in its initial form, was a goofy, funky, silly place...what with the Chaplin moustache and the strutting and goose-stepping and the concentration camps and ovens and all that Tin Lizzie-type stuff. Early Fascism was a Model T Ford...today we have sleek, Ferrari Fascism, it's more subtle and better designed, and much much more powerful and admirable and even acceptable...we LIKE today's Fascism, like we prefer a Range Rover to a 1929 Ford....but both get you to the same awful place.

The whole point of blaming their religion, Jews and Muslims, is to get us to look away from what we are DOING to these people....we blame our cruelty and inhumanity and injustice on THEIR religion..."we have to PROTECT ourselves", we say, from THEM....even while we are killing far more of them and causing them more real harm than they EVER caused us.

It's the same, tiresome, Christian game...just aimed at another religion this time.
