Does this concept of ideas ≠ people apply to all ideologies-or just Islam? Challenge Nazism. Dont demonize Nazis <--does that sound right?https://twitter.com/aliamjadrizvi/status/897841889667420160 …

This is where the term Islamist comes in handy. Analogy could be... Nazi = Islamist German = Muslim It avoids equating Nazis & Muslims
This doesn't work because German is an immutable ethnicity vs Muslim is an ideology. I'm an ex-Muslim. I can't become an ex-Egyptian.

The analogy problem is that "Islam" is a broad church that ranges from liberal secular Muslims to fascist Muslims. Nazi is a narrow church.

"Nazi" should be put analogous to a specific sect like "Salafi Muslim". "Person with a political opinion" would be analogous to "Muslim".

You're right, the analogy fails. Hmmm... maybe 'ideas ≠ people' should be applied to ideologies that are more voluntarily chosen? I dunno.

But then I suppose one could argue that Nazi's are indoctrinated just like the religious.
