Sure but it's the best attempt at a current comparison to something they should already be against in order to illustrate the mindset they're carrying.
One that isn't current I guess is viewing black people as if they're all predisposed rapist apes. But I don't know if that's coming on a bit too strong. It does illustrate the kind of mindset they're carrying though, when they think of muslim arabs they assume they're some sort of barbaric rapist monsters and all of their analysis is coloured by the prejudice this base assumption creates.
