There you go with the book again. Now you've said you've problems with all religions, so, like me, I'm guessing you're atheist, if I'm wrong, cool, it doesn't matter for the point. I've got God is Not Great, C.Hitchens on my bookshelf, I've also got a little Dawkins. Interesting the pair of 'em, but I would not like to be judged by what they say, even though I share their same disbelief. Point is, a book can only ever be an approximation of the individual in front of you.
You conveniently missed the IDF in that little list, what about the RSF? Don't get a mention? I don't have to choose some scary group to replace the Nazi's. There always seems to be someone else stepping up to that particular base to merrily bat away others lives.
But you'll only recognise that if you understand the problem with the Nazi's was 'what, how, and why', not 'who'. As I said in the last comment.
Surely you're joking. This isn't deep at all. Its surface level.
Nazis bad. Why? Because they discriminated against people simply because of the groups they came from. Once they had those people captive they did a lot more than discrimination. Its not complicated.
The discrimination part is what you've done with Muslims. Of course, I know that you're not advocating anything else, but others do, and the general vitriol against a group gives carte blanche to those that would do more. Nazi germany is a great example of this happening in the most horrifying way, but far from the only example. Partition of India is another example, White Australia policy and the Dreyfus Affair are others.
There'd be "fundamental incompatibilities" with only a white Australia, or Christian, or whatever other segmentation you'd like to choose. Overcoming and moving forward with our fundamental incompatibilities is why we have a democracy (flawed as it is) and a somewhat reliable rule of law, and why people who move here value those two so highly.
Theres always another person for people to hate on if they're looking for a reason. And theres always a reason to be found. Trick is, learning to not hate on people. The default mental framework is to have an 'other', but its a much more comfortable life to accept todays differences and work for better tomorrow. For example, I have this problem with anti-vaxxers.
