Neonazis would be pretty upset if they’d learn that.

      Oh gosh! I fear people may have completely misunderstood my original post.

      So, basically I posted it because many Neonazis (where I live, in Germany) put a lot of emphasis on Christianity. Right-wing ideology is strongly intertwined with Christianity, to the point where right-winger put a huge emphasis on preserving Christian heritage and ideals etc.

      I thought it is kind of ironic that Hitler thought that Islam would work better for the so-called German race than Christianity - many Neofascists are so vehemently anti-Islam that they would be in complete terror, would they realize that Hitler liked Islam.

      And by no means did I want to start a big debate on racism! That really wasn’t my intention at all. I just wanted to share an interesting fact about Hitler liking Islam, which I thought qualifies as a meme. But maybe I was also mistaken - please correct me.

      Take care!

          Applying anti-muslim stereotypes to middle eastern looking people is anti-muslim racism.

          Antisemitic hate against people that fit visual jewish stereotypes is antisemitic racism.

          Racism does not have to comply to the reality of ethnicity and race to constitute racism.

          Not all axis powers were white.

          So?

        I thought one of the reasons he disliked Judaism was the male genital mutilation, but doesn’t Islam do that too?

          Stop. Don’t do this. Don’t try to insinuate any kind of rationale or legitimate thought process behind Hitler’s abhorrence. He was evil beyond reason. And he didn’t just dislike judaism. A simple dislike doesn’t let you command a genocide.
