Adolf Hitler and a very small minority of supporters managed to seize control of a whole country and destroy millions of innocent people. We are assuming that 99% of Germans wouldve been honest peace loving people who wouldnt have personally taken part in this genocide from a physical or political point of view. The Germans have been tarred with the Nazi brush ever since the 2nd world war. The same way that all white South Africans were portrayed as supporters of appartheid and racists, they still too have to live with that image. Is all this Al Quaeda/Hezbollah leading to a minority who can do what they want, powerless to be stopped by the majority? Hitlers power snowballed via gaining political power and eventually control over the countrys military forces. Can the muslim extremists ever gain that kind of foothold?
