The Damned are Banned.
when an entire people, adherents of the religion of Islam, already pummelled and damned by the savagery of war in the countries they call home, are banned from entering a country that hails its freedoms and liberty as being sacrosanct, a country of immigrants itself, a country that was built on the genocide of the indigenous peoples that inhabited that land, and on the backs of countless human beings barbarically abused as slaves from the continent of Africa, one cannot but think back to the early days of the barbarism of Hitler’s nazism and its singling out of the entire Jewish people for extermination.
but then again, just a few days ago, we heard from the powers that be that they thought the Holocaust was a “sad” thing.
Goebbels would have been proud.
the parallels are chilling.
and this is not 1930s Germany.
this is the world we live in today.
and its 2017.
