Muslim Compares Britain to Nazi Germany

Mohammad Naseem, chairman of the Birmingham's Central Mosque, compared Britain's increasing Police State to that of Nazi Germany. This statement followed the arrest of nine Muslim terrorists who were planning the kidnapping and televised beheading of a British soldier.

Naseem stated, "We can change this for the better by coming together, not by coming apart...Remain calm, don't get angry. Anger is a natural emotion, but Muslims should control it. We must never give way to anger". This statement was made in front of 2,000 other Muslims inside the Central Mosque during Friday prayers.

I agree that the Muslims should not get angry. For as they state, they are being targeted because other Muslims are committing terrorists acts. However, the ideology of Xenophobia is just that, an idea. It can never be guarded against this day in age. Although our enemies are spread around the world, one distinguishing factor can not be missed, most of them are Islamic radicals.

In one of my previous post, I state that over 5,700 people have been killed and over 11,300 have been wounded in terrorist attacks perpetrated by Islamic radicals. With this in mind, tell me why we should not target all Muslims and be weary of them until such time as they can prove their alligence to peace, the United State and all other allies?

We cannot. It would not be prudent in the self interest and self defense of any nation.

We should not trust anyone on their word alone. They must prove that they stand by us in the War on Terrorism and are not just simply planning the next attack from within our own boarders. Once they have proven their worth then maybe they will stop feeling like they are being targeted.

This presents another issue though. Can anyone identify an incident where a Muslim was un-justly targeted for enforcement action when there was no other circumstances present to lead authorities to take action against him? I challenge you to find one because you will not. Security actions are taken only based on actions presented by them or circumstances surrounding them. Based on those and recent historical events, I believe that law enforcement is justified, and further, obligated to protect American citizens from any attacks.

I will not accept Naseem's statement that Britain is becoming a police state such as Nazi Germany where Jews were targeted for being Jews. The difference is this: the Jews were innocent and targeted for no reason. Until Muslims walk out the doors of their Mosque and find themselves surrounded by fencing topped with barbed wire and armed guards posted at every corner, then I refuse to accpet that Britain or any other allied Western nation is becoming a police state.
