DaveP, you state that "the Islamist threat is not as great as the Nazi one, simply because the Islamists do not have "Panzer" divisions.
I guess, that I just don't get it. The Nazi war lasted from 1939 to 1944. The war against the world by Muslims commenced in 610AD and continues until today(1,398 years). Do you really believe that Panzer divisions were a greater threat in five years,than Muslims in 1,398 years? The Islamic war against the world has not ended, and more people have been killed by Muslims than by the Nazis.
610AD Muhammed leads or commands over 70 military campaigns in 22 years.
632-661AD, Abu Gakr, Umar, Uthman and Ali, become the founding fathers of Islam. All were warriors and conquerors.
634AD Battle of the Bridge
637AD Conquest of Christians and Jewish Jerusalem
642AD Islam conquers Persian and Iran
639-642AD Muslim conquest of Egypt
640AD Islam penetrates Sudan

750AD Arabs use area of Mombassa as export center for ivory and slaves
900AD Arabs control most of Northwest India
922AD Bulgaria is converted to Islam
979-1030 Muslims attack India repeatedly, destroy temples, forces conversions to Islam, carry off slaves and booty
1050AD Muslims ships begin to raid coasts of Philippines

1396AD Muslim Turks take Nikopol, a key trade and mining center in the Ukraine
1453AD Muslim conquest of Constantinople
1463AD Ottoman Turks conquer Bosnia
1530-1780AD More than a million Europeans are taken as slaves by the Islamic Navy, from Sicily, Cornwall, Ireland, Lundy, north Devon coast, wouth and west coasts of England, coast of France and Brittany, the Biscay coast, Portugal and Spain.
1538AD Turkish Navy defeats combined naval force of Spain and Venice.
Muslims continue conquest of other nations, in 1539, 1541, 1542, 1571, 1576, 1580-1880, 1600-1700, until 1898.
Muslims attacked Israel in 1948, 1956, 1967, 1970, and wars against Israel continue until today, as Hamas continues firing misciles and murdering Jews.
In 1969AD, Osama bin Laden commences war against the world, with many attacks against many nations including the attacks on the Twin Towers and the murder of 2,974 Americans. Islamic warriors continue committing suicide in order to murder more innocent victims and force the world to submit to Islam. I'm amazed that you find the Nazi war of 5 years greater than Muslim wars of 1,398 years and millions of more deaths.
