Are Adolph Hitler and Radical Islam really the same at the end of the day?

This is a serious question. So don't pollute the board with a bunch of name calling and vitriol.  They are both committed to the eradication of the Jewish race!!

Absolutely!  Evil needs a boogie man to keep their people/troops in line.  You are right: The Jewish race is what's in common.  Therefore, no difference between hitler and radical islam!!  But -- let's not fool ourselves, the Jews are just an excuse.  Radical islam would still be evil even if there was no Israel.  It goes far beyond that...

There are a lot of similarities, but I wouldn't say they are the same. They both hate Jewish people, but the Muslims include Christians and other religions in their hatred. The Nazis didn't base their hatred on religion, so much as their ideal image of themselves. Anyone different from them, blacks, Catholics, etc were on their list.
