Mein Kampf In The Muslim World

[Khandro]

Did you know that in translation, “Mein Kampf” has been a bestseller both online and in book form, if not THE bestseller after the Koran in the Arab world and Turkey. Much admired for Hitler's views on Judaism.
The Muslim brotherhood it seems was founded on a love of Mussolini and Hitler and based on ideas of fascism and from where the black flag of isis originates?

'The Muslim brotherhood it seems was founded on a love of Mussolini and Hitler'

Founded? If you'd said 'furthered' or 'embellished' I could understand it but not founded.

[vetuste_ennemi]

Yes, I've heard this many times, Khandro, although never tried to verify it.
Another popular work in the Arab world (apparently quoted as fact on the Hamas website) is The Protocols of the Elders of Zion.

Zacs; //Founded? If you'd said 'furthered' or 'embellished' I could understand it but not founded.//

My historian wife has been studying the politics of Islam for some time and it is a regular topic at the Khandro breakfast table. These facts come from a book called "Der Islamische Faschimus" by Hamed Abdel-Samad and others.

The Muslim Brotherhood was founded in Ismailia, Egypt by Hassan al-Banna in March 1928. He was completely enamoured with, and attended and read speeches by Mussolini in 1924, and later Hitler. He visited them and with Eichman discussed the total eradication of Jewry.

It is a fascist organization as Mohamed Morsi demonstrated by attempting to tear up the Egyptian constitution before he was removed from power,

[Zacs-Master]

Apologies, I read your 'muslim brotherhood' comment as a general muslim collective term rather than a specific organisation. Maybe a capital B in Brotherhood would have helped.

Khandro -

Well observed. I've been saying this for years to anyone who will listen. The parallels between the Nazi's beliefs and Islam are striking. Islam is fascistic in nature. If anyone doubts this, take a look at this list:

Reading the "Fourteen Defining Characteristics Of Fascism" linked above, I can't see one of them that isn't a specific characteristic or tenant of Islam. If anyone else can, I'm all ears.

Like Birdie, I too having been saying for years that Islam is fascist. It's their way or no way.

[naomi24]

*have*, not having.

[Khandro]

This lecture and Q&A by him, (Hamed Abdel-Samad) is really important, and summarises his book ( ^ above) I strongly advise all on here and beyond to watch. It's in German but the subtitles are very good and convey his easy eloquence, all done without notes.
v_e; maybe another entry for your Christmas card list?

Nobody ever following closely the teachings in the New Testament could use it to justify any kind of violence.
Somebody following closely the teachings in the Koran have all the justification they need to behave in the way that appals us.
Yet our own dopey leaders still fall for the Muslim rhetoric as a religion of peace.
Thickos.

'At a boy Theland. Keep your nose outta that nasty Old Testament stuff.

Theland - "... Nobody ever following closely the teachings in the New Testament could use it to justify any kind of violence. Somebody following closely the teachings in the Koran have all the justification they need to behave in the way that appals us..."

As you are aware, you and I often disagree. However, on this matter, we find common ground.

[vetuste_ennemi]

Ditto.

"v_e; maybe another entry for your Christmas card list?".

Yes, I'm an open book. Card for Abdel Samad this Christmas.

Never heard of Maududi before.
Loved his description of the changing agenda of the German Islam Conference (DIK).

[Khandro]

v_e; Good! and what about those Finnish schoolchildren?
Just leaving for the vernisage of my exhibition, pray wish me luck.

[vetuste_ennemi]

"vernisage", Khandro? You've got me there.
Bon courage!

[vetuste_ennemi]

Ah, vernissage. Etymology kind of obvious, idiomatic sense less so.

[vetuste_ennemi]

He called something a "birth defect" in Islam. Can't remember what it was. Still, wish I'd thought up the phrase
