12clicks, I like you too but I think you are the one that is wrong on this (which by the way is part of the joy of living in free countries..we can disagree).

Firstly you didn't say Arab you said Muslim and not all Muslims are Arab and frankly a large number of them aren't.

Secondly, seriously..I do understand WW2 because as I said I live where it was fought and I have gone out and actually spoken and interviewed (for myself and for a book I was paid to help research) people from both sides. Soldiers on the ground and normal everyday people.

Europe might have been fighting but the States wasn't until far into it. Europe fought because they were scared..with reason. Hitler liked the UK..he thought they were a 'proper' society. So the UK could have gone largely untouched if they chose not to fight back.

Also, if you thought that those fighting knew about the camps and the such from the start you are wrong. From the intereviews I have done it became clear (and I backed it up with research) that even though they knew there were camps they didn't know the true nature of the camps.

They thought they were more like the camps we had for the Japanese. Which were wrong but not on the same level. A lot of the truth about what happened in those camps wasn't fully discovered until later on.

One of the interviews I did was with a man who was the first photographer into one of the camps...he was with the military when they discovered it. He went insane (not a joke ..he did) from what he had seen and carried a suitcase full of photos he took at the camp everywhere he went. So, I have done my research on these thing. I may be young but I have done a lot of work with this kind of thing. Not to mention that I actually live in the outside world.

Don't worry..I tell the British and the others when they are being idiots (in my view) too.

If they are people of any religion that think this was right then they need to cease being. However, it is never right to blanket an entire race or religion.

If you want to change Muslim for Taliban than you have my support. I would not cry for any of them to be like the parrot in the Monty Python sketch 'an ex-Taliban..a Taliban that has ceased to be'.

But since we are rounding up all Muslims...should we start with Muhammad Ali and Kareem Abdul-Jabar? Are they not REAL Muslims?
