Malaysian MP in Hitler controversy

[Cats4ever]

Irresponsible joke, however we must be a bit culturally aware. Hitler is not studied or understood as much in many Asian cultures as in European ones. Most Asian countries had the Japanese to contend with, by the way. To a lot of unthinking people the Nazis were sexy, they had the great uniforms (thanks Hugo Boss) and could goosetep up a storm. This probably should go down as a horribly mistaken attempt at humour.

BTW - Ricky Gervais tweeted after the German supporters got a bit of treatment something to the effect that - This is not the first time in history that Germans have chosen to hide in Brazil.

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.

Do they understand that if Hitler had won, they would have probably been next.

Apparently, at least one of them doesn't.

If the Axis side had won they would have been part of the Empire of Japan. Good luck with the Japs on religious freedoms.

LOL what an idiot.

What you really mean is, " What an uneducated idiot in a position of governing"..........

Where did you get that little snippet from? The Bin Laden book of History?

[Cuchulainn]

People don't seem to realise that Hitler hated the Muslims almost as much as the Jews. As a boy, hatred of 4x2s was instilled in him as they seemed to be profiteering from the economic disaster of the Great War.

Then how come Bosnian Moslems were recruited into SS police regiments?

You might need to check the actual facts first.

I stand corrected.

[Jonmarleesco]

Hitler didn't fight in WWII, sunshine - everyone else did. Your historical knowledge is as obviously short on fact as it is on logic and intelligent observation.

I do wonder what you would had tweeted at the end of the 1966 World Cup.

Western history is just not taught (in depth) in Asia as Asian history was not when I was in school in the west. When I moved to Hawaii (not in Asia or the west but having ties to Asia) for University, I had to take a make up history course "History or Asia" as I only had to take "Western Civilization" on the mainland USA.

No you don't. They served a purpose and, if Hitler had won, they would have been the next sent to the gas chambers. Along with pretty much everyone else that did not conform with the Nazi's way of thinking. Anyone defending Hitler and comparing him with other dictators is delusional.

No that is just your twisted and warped impression of what you THINK he might have done had he won and nothing more.

I'm not defending Hitler in any way just want someone like yourself to explain why the mass killing of one race or religious denomination is worse than killing many others ?

Mass murder is mass murder !

[Nemesis7]

Mention of Hitler and you are jumped on and demonised immediately. WHY ? The Socialists / Communists can revere the likes of Stalin, Lenin and Mao who killed far more people than Hitler ever did and yet escape all censure simply because Hitler is associated with killing just jews, which is untrue unlike the others. Is it about the race of people killed that make you a monster or the amount of people you starve and murder ?

Well said.

[AloisAmrein]

Just another example that many Asians know less then nothing about European and world history. And such a guy wants to be a politian. Shame on him.

[PiPiFFS]

And the vast majority of Europeans know only what a small bunch of the people who won the war tell then is the truth. Shame on them !

Well said Bb. In fact Bosnian Muslims formed the very first of the SS foreign divisions.

Himmler himself expressed great admiration for the fanatical Muslim fighting spirit and willingness to give their lives, which he believed could be an example to the Germans. He would not have done so if it had risked Hitler's ire.

Also the Palestinian spiritual leader, the Mufti of Jerusalem was vociferous in his admiration for Nazism, and Fascism in general, and spent a long period in Europe during the war as an honoured guest of the Axis. Had Rommel been successful in the war in N Africa it is almost certain that with Muslim assistance the Jews of Middle East and the Maghreb would have gone the way of their European kin.

Can you expand on that statement, please..

Geee, I always figured TV to be pretty conservative, but now the Nazi sympathizers are coming out of the woodworks.

They need a few photos of what the Nazi was about.

Plus this PP don't realise that Hitler executed his own German officers because Hitlers ambitions were not realised...........

[rgs2001uk]

But Hitler and the Third Reich lost.

It seems to be an Asian problem that they really don't understand what Hitler and his cronies actually did.

Yep - and Hitler didn't actually doing any fighting himself!

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.

I suggest your German friends (no offence meant to any Germans) read up a bit about racist Malaysia and its racist sectarian Bummi laws. For anyone who knows anything about this country, the remarks come as no surprise.

Malaysia truly Asia my ass, I wil NEVER set foot in the country again.

Go and spend some time in the non PC Middle East and hear some of the remarks made in support of Hitler.

I believe even the Nazis were shocked at the attrocites carried out.

BTW you made no reference to the attrocites carried out by the church of rome

A pity Uncle Sam didnt understand what he was getting involved with when he started his Balkan campaign in the '90s.

[soihok]

I guess this guy must be feeling like a real plonker now.

Saying that, he probably doesn't give a toss anyway.

Malaysia is definitely the most racist country I have lived in.

[Friendly Stranger]

I know they have a strong dislike for Israel but doesn't he know that they would have been down the line if the allies fell? Ignorance/hatred alive and well.
