I nearly got assaulted by one when I was in Germany. I didn't stop to discuss politics.
Why did he try and assault you then?
Did it have anything to do with him being a "reflexive supporter of a racial supremacist ideology". I really can't understand why you would question that this is a necessary prerequisite to be a nazi.
Quote:Like you, I am happy to generalise about Nazis. Just as I am about Muslims.
And this makes absolutely no sense. Nazis are 100% racist and violent. Take those away and there is no nazism. Its as simple as that. No nazi believes in equality among the races. No nazi believes in peaceful coexistence among different races and culture. Generalising them as racist shitheads is not unfair, it is perfectly reasonable.
Yet to similarly generalise about muslims is insane. They come from all walks of life, from all cultures from all corners of the globe. The *ONLY* thing that unites them all is belief in the oneness of God, the need to worship that one God, and the personal spiritual requirements to
fulfill that worship (and even those methods differ from muslim to muslim). So you could generalise all muslims as monotheistic in the Abrahamic tradition - but thats about it. It is particularly insane to brand the "genocide supporter" blanket generalisation on them, because it is based on an assumed blind adherence to the actions of the Prophet - without even bothering to find out a) how they interpret the alleged incident of genocide (and if they even believe it happened) and b) if they actually do believe that "supporting" the alleged genocide is even a necessary aspect of supporting their prophet.
As I keep saying, it singularly denies individual muslims of individual agency. A 'mindless collective' is in fact the perfect description of what you reduce muslims to.
