My argument is that damning a religion as "inherently evil" is one of the strongest possible condemnations one can make of the religion, it's followers and anyone who even supports the right of those followers to their beliefs.
The Nazi reference follows this principle. Hitler decided that Judaism was intrinsically evil. That meant cleansing the German Reich of all Jewish taints. It started with laws against employment, marriage, owning of businesses. It extended to forced public identification, creation of ghettos and finally the extermination camps.
This again is where I think you are making the wrong comparison. It was Nazism that was inherently evil and Islam is today's equivalent to Nazism. In Palestinian schools they are thought that the Jews are monkeys (Case Study: Portraying Jews as "Apes and Pigs" http://www.palwatch.org/main.aspx?fi=786 ) and the Islamic Hadith calls for the extermination of the Jews (it is explicit and no amount of obfuscation by the apologists can claim it is saying otherwise: 73% of Palestinians agree with genocidal hadith about Muslims killing Jews hiding behind trees http://www.jihadwatch.org/2011/08/7...bout-muslims-killing-jews-hiding-behind-trees ). Although there may be instances of Muslims being harassed for wearing their headgear in Western societies, it is the Jews in Europe who, under attack by Islam, are the victims and reminiscent of Germany when the Nazis were coming to power.

It was Nazism that imposed censorship of "liberal" writings, movies and even music and it is Islam today that does the same thing. Islam is not standing up for the rights of free speech but like the Nazis who denounced "liberal" culture as Jewish filth, Islam denounce it as unIslamic and Jewish inspired filth.
We have seen the oppression of minorities in almost all Islamic states at the hands of the Islamists in power. It is there we see "laws against employment, marriage, owning of businesses" by infidels. There are no comparable laws in any Western democracy applied to Muslims.
Everything you fear about what could happen if Islam is denounced is actually happening all over the Muslim world against infidels, yet you do not seem to have an issue with it.
It was those who appeased Nazism that allowed it to take hold in Europe and it is those who appease Islam's barbaric culture that will allow it to spread in the West.
You are picking the wrong victim.
