Benmart Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 Mr. Rain should do some research before he makes exclamations of this sort. What did the Nazis really think about Muslims? According to the Nazis' racist ideology, Arabs are racial Semites and thus subhumans, similar to Jews. In his book, Mein Kampf, Hitler described the struggle for world domination as an ongoing racial, cultural and political battle between Aryans and non-Aryans. He envisaged a "ladder" of racial hierarchy, asserting that German "Aryans" were at the top of the ladder, while Jews and Gypsies were consigned to the bottom of the order. On Hitler's racial ladder, Arabs and Muslims occupied a servile place, held in much the same contempt as the Jews. Hitler made a personal remark in 1939 in which he referred to the populace of the Middle East as "painted half-apes that ought to feel the whip". As in other instances, however, the Nazis never allowed their ideological views to get in the way of more urgent political considerations. The Nazis recognized the importance of wooing the Arab and Muslim world to their side and, in their public proclamations, downplayed their real views of Muslims and Arabs. When Mein Kampf was being translated into Arabic in 1938, Hitler himself tactfully proposed to omit from it his "racial ladder" theory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Knowledge about Hitler is much more widespread in western countries. In Asia it is largely absent from the textbooks and if it is taught it is only a cursory discussion. I remember an exam given to a group of high school students here who had been studying European history (in English) starting with WW I and going through WW II and up to the early days of the EU. A great deal of time was spent on WW II. The most common answer (on multiple choice) for Hitler was "The capital city of Spain". The most common answer for what was the Holocaust was "A movie".

A beast to be sure, but he is not alone in that category. The glorification of him, or the others mentioned, would be controversial to put it in mild terms. Stalin, Lenin, Mao, Pol Pot, Napolean, G. Bush, Julius Caesar, General Sherman and countless others embarked on programs and behaviors that caused death, destruction and human suffering on a grand scale. The challenge is to understand the insanity of those behaviors in an attempt to ensure they are not repeated. Rash statements, innuendo and conjecture only serve to muddy waters that are unclear to begin with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unreal. And herein lies the problem; the "Post baby-Boom Generation" has less than a vague understanding of what actually took place between 1939 to 1945. Because the atrocities committed by the Nazis were so indescribable & unspeakable; this younger generation simply cannot get their heads around this and hence they lose interest. This part of our history should be compulsory reading all across the world - Lest We Forget ! ! ! ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rbt Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 The reason why muslims have not much against Hitler is because of what he did to the jews. Muslims are always conscous of the fact that the jews, with the help of muslim-hating westerners, stole Palestine from them, resulting in horrendous suffering for their fellows muslims which continues to this very day with Israel's bombing of gaza. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cuchulainn Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 People don't seem to realise that Hitler hated the Muslims almost as much as the Jews.

Apart from the lack of understanding, could it be by chance an MP from a Moslem country admires Hitler? Several German friends are appalled by this reference.
