Well, historical events should be compared within their context. 90 years after in a country still in NATO, one can not kill the other easily. But arresting and expecting them to die in jail or commit suicide should be equal to Night of long knives.

Yes, it could come to that. I fear that it will. But at this time, the comparison is inappropriate.

Yes and I admitted it probably wasn't the best historical comparison. But given that that less than five years ago this country was being touted as a model for democracy, religious moderation and pluralism for the region, I don't that it's that it's entirely inappropriate.
