It was that external, ultra-demonic enemy, used against a populace to inspire nationalism and fervour, allowing the governing body to do what they want.
Islam is the new Communism - damn right. Hell, I'd go so far as to say Islam is the new war on drugs.
Does Islam deserve it? I don't think so. No more than the Jews during WWII. Does any People deserve it?
