Title: Curt Schilling makes Nazi-Muslim comparison, is removed from ESPN LLWS Coverage

Political correctness strikes again.

It didn't take long for Curt Schilling to backtrack.  He should have remained firm.

I think that he should be scolded for false  historical revisionism. It's not true that just 7% of Germans were Nazis. Predumably he uses membership in the Nazi party as the criteria. In 1940 it is more like 70% then 7% if you measure by who actually supported the Nazi regime.

Of course it is equally not true that only 5-10% of muslims are extremists. The vast majotity of them are extremists.

While the percentage numbers you mentioned are very likely much closer to actuality than the number Curt Schilling mentioned,   I still believe that Schilling's comments were more beneficial than damaging.   It's important that many more people make the connection of Islam with Nazism than currently is the case.

I'm sure that if Schilling made a bad comment about Donald Trump, he wouldn't be fired.

I thought it was in the nineties (Germans who supported Nazism).
