1.) GODWINED!
2.) As a rehash of the "racism" vs. "bigotry" post, there is a
VAST difference between attacking
race and attacking
ideas.
The Nazi part was not attacking Judaism as a set of religious beliefs-- they were attacking the Jewish as a race of people. And that is an utterly, utterly different thing. I'd have a big problem with an art exhibit displaying Jews as hook-nosed, baby-eating racist caricatures. I'd have no problem at all with a display making fun of beliefs in
indestructible bones and
head boxes, though.
