"The last punishment was carried out by Hitler. By means of all the things he did to them – even though they exaggerated this issue – he managed to put them in their place."
Is that denial or diminution? You may be right - but it's hardly particularly supportive of the accepted version of history.
Even if they are as comprehensive, the difference with Islam is some of its followers (salafists), who want its current form to be just like it was in Muhammad's life-time. This is when the prophet was at once a religious, political and military leader. This means that those Muslims who pine for such "original" Islam would like to see all three strands of society/power lead by a single inidividual (Montesquieu would roll in his grave). Hence the difficulty of secularism...
While you didn't say anything along those lines, I hope this clarifies the double-standard issue a little for others.
