There is an urban legend that King Christian X of Denmark
rode through the streets of Denmark wearing a Jewish
Star of David in solidarity with Jews who were being
forced by the German occupation forces to wear a
Yellow Star of David. In fact, King Christian threatened
the Germans that if they did force Jews to wear this
symbol he would publicly wear one in solidarity.
The Germans backed down on their threat.
American politicians are threatening to treat
American Muslims like the Germans did in World War II.
One threat is to create a database of Muslims, just like
the Germans created a data base of Jews by registering
everybody and having them declare that they were either
Jewish or Gentile. If Gentiles had refused to cooperate—just
like King Christian—it would have left the Germans
to guess who was Jewish and who wasn’t.
Technically, to convert to Islam, all you have to do is
declare with conviction, the Shahada:
“There is no god but God. Muhammad is the messenger of God”
As a Jew, I can’t say that with conviction, but to defeat efforts
to register and discriminate against Muslims as a people, I
pledge to walk into any government agency registering Muslims
and say the Shahada.
At least it will keep them guessing, especially if millions of
non-Muslim Americans join me.

About Jan Tucker
The Detectives Diary is an innovative tool combining Private Investigation and Journalism. In 1984, Steve Harvey's Los Angeles Times "Around the Southland" Column entitled Jan Tucker's program of providing low-cost "Opposition Research" services to indigent and working class candidates for public office, "Take Cover: Hired Mudslinger Rides into Town." A 1996 Los Angeles Times article by Henry Chu carried a sub-headline identifying Tucker as a "P.R. Guru." In November 2012, Tucker became Criminal Justice Columnist for Counter Punch Magazine and a commentator for Black Talk Radio.
As a private investigator since 1979 and a former First Vice President of Newspaper Guild Local 69, Tucker takes these skills to a new level in the pages of the Detectives Diary with insightful and unique exposures and analysis of history and current events.
