They compare Nazi Germany to Islamism, which is primarily depicted by Iranian and Lebanese militia raising their arms in a traditional military salute—similar to that of the Nazis.

…t her go. What I remember most from growing up during the Cold War in West Germany is how it felt to have “No Future” because the US and Russia had overwhelming arsenals of atomic warheads pointed at each other.
