Was Hitler A Muslim?

[Khandro]

After the Koran, Mein Kampf is the most read book in the middle East. He was idolised in the Muslim world for his treatment of Jews, he donated land and property to the Muslim Brotherhood in Munich, (which is still one of their headquarters) he regarded himself as a messiah and had himself filmed in a manner which attempted to substantiate that claim.
If true, could the Nazis have been a forerunner of the so-called Isis?

I am not sure about Muslim but I sometime do think that he might have been a Palestinian. Because it is Palestinians who have been killed by the jews ever since.

jim; I think the names 'God' and 'Allah' are fairly interchangeable in translation, as can be seen on the banner 'God bless Hitler' on here;

It may be so, Khandro, but it is clear that "des Herrn" is, at the very least, ambiguous, and not obviously "Allah". Indeed I would argue that it obviously isn't, because the German for Allah is, well "Allah". And "des Herrn" is "[of] the Lord". No, it's dishonest and grossly misleading to translate the German "das Werk des Herrn" as "Allah's work".

No secret that the SS recruited various Muslim SS Divisions from Soviet Russia and Africa.

IMO, He was a Dark Evil ***... and should not be recognised as to being RC... or any other religion, as for that is part of what fooks people up.

He was so wrong!

[Khandro]

jim; I usually bow to your superior knowledge on matters scientific, but it isn't matched by your knowledge of the German language. A literal translation is 'The work of the Lord', or ' The Lord's work' or 'God's work'.
The German word for Allah is not as you say, 'Allah', it is 'Gott', just as the English word for Allah is 'God'.

[dieseldick]

he might as well have been. one evil man .

[vulcan42]

So the German belt buckle with Gott mit uns on it means Allah is with us?
( and not, as I thought when a child, that the Germans couldn't spell and they were letting people know they hadn't forgotten their gloves).

[jim360]

Whatever, Khandro. I'm not going to claim expertise on the German language. But even your own view seems unsupported. If you're claiming that "Gott= Allah" then, again, I refer you to the original of Mein Kampf that used "des Herrn" where your source insisted that it meant Allah. It is utterly wrong to do so, and you are equally wrong to give that site any kind of support.

[naomi24]

Khandro, this is a daft argument.

[Khandro]

jim; You are wrong to suggest I have given any endorsement to that site whatsoever, I was asked for a source by jno and gave it simply as that.
The word 'Allah' is Arabic, al = the, and llah = God.
'The Lord' and 'God', are completely interchangeable in German (des Herrn and Gott) as they are in English. I don't understand what you are going on about.

Hitler was raised as a Roman Catholic and although he probably wasn't a practising one, remained one in principal until the day he died having never renounced his religious beliefs. He wrote in Mein Kampf that he believed it was God's will (as opposed to Allah's) that the Jews be exterminated. It has never, to my knowledge, been seriously suggested that he prayed to "God" five times a day or that he required his meat to be slaughtered in a religious manner or that he would not eat pork. He also drank alcohol.

Nothing Hitler did, said or wrote would lead a objective person to conclude that he was an actual muslim - practising or not.

It was not uncommon for Nazi divisions to be blessed by Roman Catholic priests before going into battle. It is interesting to note today just how much clear blue water the Roman Catholic Church [RCC] wants to put between them and the Nazis. If one were to read any RCC literature today about WW2, one wouldn't have the faintest idea that Hitler's goals were largely endorsed by the RCC. In fact, one would conclude that the RCC was an anti-Nazi group, when nothing could have been further from the truth. After the war ended, the cover-up by the RCC was swift and global in its reach. It still continues to this day with some members of the RCC claiming that the organisation had nothing whatsoever to do with the Nazi in the 1930s and 40s. This depict is quite shameless in its audacity.

What is beyond dispute is that Hitler was a fascist. That is why a good many fundamentalist muslims think that he was a great man since they share his fascistic mindset. Rather than say that Hitler was a muslim, I think it is more accurate to say that some muslims are Nazis in all but name.
