On Oct. 1, Trevor Noah, the new host of "The Daily Show," compared Donald Trump to the former monstrous Libyan dictator Muammar Gaddafi. The similarities were terrifying (watch the video below if you don't believe me), but definitely proved Noah's point that Trump, and his "xenophobia with just a dash of diplomacy" is merely running for president in the wrong part of the world.

It's truly difficult to be compared to someone worse than Gaddafi, but Trump made it too easy with his recent comments and suggested policies regarding Syrian refugees and ISIS.

Trump told NBC News he would absolutely implement a national database to track all Muslims living in the United States, but in classic Trump fashion, continued to say:

“There should be a lot of systems, beyond databases,” he added. “We should have a lot of systems.”

Not sure what that means, Donald, but I'm assuming that a lot of your "systems" would be infringing on a lot of U.S. rights.

When subsequently asked if Muslims would be legally obligated to register their religion, and carry ID cards stating it, he responded, “They have to be — they have to be.”

He's further considered the shutdown of all mosques, and if not that, then at least the implementation of a surveillance program for all of them, saying, “We’re going to have to look at the mosques. We’re going to have to look very, very carefully.”

When Yahoo News asked Trump whether his push for increased surveillance of American Muslims could include warrant-less searches, he said he would definitely consider it.

America has currently agreed to take in 10,000 refugees from Syria, Trump, however, said if elected, he would deport any Syrian refugees allowed into the country under President Obama.

When asked how his ideas were different than pre-war Nazi Germany, Trump repeatedly responded: "You tell me."

Well, I'll tell you the difference, Donald: nothing.

In 1938, the Nazis forced Jews to register their religion, and carry religious identification cards such as the one pictured below.

This singling out of Jews contributed to the Kristallnacht, or the "Night of Broken Glass," in which thousands of Jewish businesses, homes, and synagogues were attacked.

The pretext for this coordinated attack throughout Germany, was the assassination of German diplomat, by a German Jew living in Paris.

Following the Kristallnacht and the registration of Jews, the persecution of the Jewish population became rampant, with some German Jews even being deported back to their home countries.

The German Jews did not pose any threat to Germany, just as actual Syrian refugees do not to the United States. But, unlike Nazi Germany, there obviously is the possibility of threat from terrorists posing as refugees, a threat that can be eliminated through the U.S. screening process, a process which has been considered, "quite simply the toughest way for a foreigner to legally enter the United States."

Instead, we should be focusing on a much weaker program, the visa waiver program, which allows travelers from 38 European countries to land in the U.S. with only the minimal customs screening.

At least one of the eight Paris attackers could have used this system and entered into the United States.

So no, Donald, allowing Syrian refugees into this country is not "suicide," nor can it be called the "Trojan horse."

Populations follow leadership. When that leadership is manipulating people's fears and angst, and segregating certain groups, it's setting a very dangerous precedent.

Trump has tried to qualify his statements, saying some were suggestions from reporters, but even if so, he was still agreeing with them.

Hate cannot defeat hate, and the threats to our country will not be any more eliminated by persecuting a group of people for their religion.

So Donald, maybe you should read a history book, and learn from Hitler's mistakes.
