Where can I vote; equally evil?
At first I agreed with Matt. My reasoning was to take a look at my home country during WWII. The Netherlands was occupied by the Nazis for 5 years. During those 5 years, although under inhumane circumstances, the dutch still lived their lives. While Arab terrorists would never let any one live. They'd not even occupy a country, they'd bom it all to dust.
BUT! Then I came to the realization that while the dutch were mostly allowed to live during those 5 years, over 100.000 dutch Jews were being taken to concentration camps.
That's when I started to ask myself; What's the difference between Arab terrorists deciding that all religions except theirs should be killed, and Nazis deciding the Jews should be killed?
Their level of evil is pretty much equal and the difference is not as extreme as either Keith+Chemda or Matt are making it out to be. The Nazis just accomplished more evil (thus far) but at the same time Arab terrorists are all alike, while a group of people that you'd label as nazis were just ignorant and, as Matt B argued, were just playing their part in a war.
Personal conclusion; Arab terrorists are just a smidge more evil then Nazis, because it hits closer to home and there is no arab terrorists that could sympathize with their enemy.

This is all subjective bullshit in my opinion. I think it's more evil to experiment / systematically slaughter a race whether everyone was on board with it or not.
No one ever wonders if Muslim Extremist all agree with the ideology of their leaders. We just assume they all have a collective group think right?
Also it's not like Germany was was taking over countries by playing checkers with the prime ministers. They started a WORLD WAR.
Do we even know what a terrorist uniform looks like?
