Hitler specifically taught that he was the diety, which is why he had his followers swear an oath to him.  I\'m not sure what American Nazi\'s believe, but I don\'t think they\'re worth the time to investigate.<br><br>Christian extremists are those who follow Christ\'s teachings to the extreme - therefore, they love others and serve them far more than they love and care for themselves.  And they don\'t do it to make themselves feel good.  They do it because God has loved them in the same way.  Sadly, it\'s difficult to find examples of these (including me).</div>\

Just because your agenda to Christianize the world is more subtle (spreading "democracy"), doesn\'t make it any more right.  If we continue to marginalize other races and religions, we create our future enemies.  Comments like "Muslims should know better than to show up at an airport dressed in traditional clothing..." only prove the stupid American stereotype.  They are "different" and "the Other" so they must be scrutinized.  How does one turn a peace-loving Muslim into a terrorist?  Show them that no matter what they do, no matter if they are a productive, tax-paying, law-abiding citizen of the USA, they better keep their filthy religion under wraps and not SHOW they are Muslim.  We\'ll forgive them that transgression if they\'ll be decent enough to deny their spirituality and look like everyone else (meaning you can\'t tell by looking at them that they\'re not Christian).</div>\

There is no fundamental right that entitles your ideology to be respected. In America you can believe anything you want to, but your beliefs are not entitled to special accommodation. If your beliefs involve a "prophet" who preached subjugation of all nations to his "truth" by violent means and demonstrated in his own recorded practices, I\'d be surprised if your beliefs are hardly tolerated at all let alone respected. You can be ideological Nazi in America if you want to, but we\'ll be watching you, lest you decide to become a practicing one.
