There is a distinct similarity between National Socialism (Nazi's), Communism and Shariah as practiced in the middle east and Africa. ISIS and "radical" islamic fundamentalism use the same playbook. A rigid ideology that requires absolute adherence. Those that do not conform are to be eliminated.
Marx/Lenin, Hitler believed that in order to establish Communism and Nazi-ism there would have to be a certain percentage of people (10% or more) that had to be killed/eliminated from their new utopian society. The Jews and landowners in Russia were targeted. In the middle east its the Christians/Infidels and those that don't conform completely to Shariah.
Shariah is the basis of what is occurring now with ISIS. Beheadings are allowed, even encouraged under Shariah. To them, its what Allah commands.
And we still are not allowed to completely reject Sharia in our own law (if you'll remember the voters of Oklahoma voted to condemn and eliminate any mention of Shariah a few years back but were overruled by a liberal activist federal judge).
Radicalism is always rigid and vengeful in practice. Thats what Sharia is/does.
IMO
Sorry to get off topic, but the reference to comparing Hitler and GWB was a chance to spout off about this wo starting a thread.
