Yes. Yes I do. The current climate re: Islam really does scare me, and it scares me because of the parallels I see to pre-Nazi Weimar Germany. I'm not saying that this law is a Nazi law, so it's not quite a Godwin; I'm saying that it reads a lot like some of the precursors.
When you have a member of the Texas State Board of Education saying that his problem with the current history books is that they have a "pro-Islamic bias", what I think is of the rhetoric about purging German universities of "Jewish science" and "Jewish mathematics".
