The Most Important Line in Netanyahu’s Speech
Posted By Daniel Greenfield On September 29, 2014 @ 6:36 pm In The Point | 10 Comments
Discussing the equivalence of Hamas/Muslim Brotherhood and ISIS/Al Qaeda, Netanyahu said that the Islamic terrorist groups…
“The Nazis believed in a master race. The militant Islamists believe in a master faith. They just disagree about who among them will be the master… of the master faith. That’s what they truly disagree about.”
This is not a difference between moderates and extremists. It’s a choice of tactics.
Just like the left, some Islamists choose to work within the system to accomplish their goals while others cut directly to the beheading.
Some will fake negotiations while others will reject them out of hand.
These are differences of style, not substances. They are all fighting for a Caliphate, an Islamic superstate in which non-Muslims and women will be inferior, and Islamic law will determine who lives and who dies.
There was a time when appeasers tried to pretend that there were moderate Nazis and extreme Nazis (no really). It took a lot of bloodshed to realize that there were just Nazis.
Some of the Nazis had different agendas and ways of going about their goal. And the goal was horrifically evil.
The distinction between the moderate Salafist and the extremist Salafist makes as much sense as distinguishing between one member of the Nazi government and another. Their ideology leads to a horrific outcome. The only question is whether they kill more people now.
Or later.
