There was a piece on CNN about the Lal Masjid Madrassah in Islamabad (I posted about it recently). It was a rather crafty piece of reporting, and the effect was quite dramatic. It started out with what seemed simply a report about a school- could have been a school anywhere, albiet in a Moslem country. And then WHAM right in the middle they related the recent kidnapping and coerced admission of guilt conducted by schoolgirls from this madrassah on the woman they claimed was the 'madam' of a brothel collared out in the streets of their city. It was very effective. And it was while watching this piece that it struck me forcefully that for once there is a REAL historical parallel with the Nazi's. Before the Nazi party was in power, its bully-boy thugs roamed the streets of southern German towns and cities (particularly Munich) beating up gypsies, Jews and anyone else who didn't pass ideological muster. They even had a uniform, and were named for it, the Brown shirts. The sharia girls have their uniform, the burquah, the most extreme of the Moslem garments.
The purpose of their activities is the same in both cases- to intimidate the rest of the population into conforming to the party orthodoxy whether so inclined or not. The next step after the Brown shirts phase is the serious head-bashing phase. Thats when Communists (or whoever) start to die in the streets. Phase after that? Final solution. Lets all commit to not letting it get that far this time.
