I was careful to say the 1930's not the 1940's.
If you look at a lot of the extremist rhetoric from that time you can see disturbing echoes today.

I've only ever heard the phrase "religion of peace" from right-wing bigots using it sarcastically.

"some on the left are sympathetic towards Islam"
Many of those you call the "left" are deeply unhappy about a minority group in western society being abused and persecuted due to their religion. In the same way we defended Jewish people being persected in the 1930's we defend Muslim victims of persecution today.

I also have to query this idea that a German judge somehow is part of some giant creature called "The Left"

Cohen et al position on Iraq reminds me of this cartoon

"they are however supporting the free movement of large 4x4s."
That's in the constitution Che, beside the arming bears bit.
