Was Hitler also against muslims?

Question

I feel HItler was only against jews not muslims. What do you think

BeMuse · Accepted Answer

The Nazis saw the Muslims like evil henchman. The Nazis thought they were inferior side kicks, but liked the fact that they had so much hatred for Jews and saw the British and the French as enemies. The enemy of my enemy is my friend sort of thing... Hitler complimented them in public to maintain an alliance, but didn’t see them as equal to Aryans. The Nazis had an issue with many people, but above all else they wanted control and they wanted to eliminate those people that were destroying the Weimar Republic. The divide in pre-Nazi-Germany was driven by the Marxist/Communists. Major players in that oppressive leftist regime that made moderate to right leaning ideas illegal were the Jews, Black communists, homosexuals involved in the arts, other artists, authors, and journalists that pedals propaganda that ripped the Weimar Republic apart, etc. For a decade there were political assignations, riots, oppressive violence in the streets by the communist leftists that were running a color revolution leading up to WWII. The Nazis went after Social Democrats that collaborated with the communists, resistance fighters, leftist political enemies, dissenting clergy that interfered with the new political messaging, etc. In an attempt to purify their ethnic state through eugenics they either killed off or sterilized the deaf, the blind, the physically disabled, the mentally ill, alcoholics, convicted criminals, etc. They went after the gypsies because they were seen a degenerate, dirty, freeloading, communist like. They started eliminating the Jehovah’s Witnesses because they wouldn’t show blind obedience to the totalitarian state. They used the slavs and prisoners of war as a labor force to generate a profit through slave labor.

It fascinates me that people know so little about Hitler. He literally hated everyone apart from what he saw as Ubermensch, i. e. Germans/Aryans. He was against all religions (and atheism) and against all people, apart from Germans. He needed help from the Muslim world so he pretended to like them, but privately still thought that they were inferior.

He didn't exactly want them in Europe but didn't mind them in middle east as long as their leaders were his allies.

Muslim brotherhood collaborated with Nazis and a few wanted SS officers fled to Egypt and if I remember correctly, even Syria.

The Muslims were next when he'd finished exterminating the Jews

Anonymous · Answer

Not really. He didn't have anything "against" them per se. I have read things that suggest he did admire aspects about Muslims, however he did cause issues with Palestinians when he signed the Haavara agreement - thus facilitating the migration of German Jews to Jerusalem. As we all know from recent events, conflict exists between Jews and Arabs.

Hitler recruited many Arabs into his armed forces to help him fight the British in the Middle East and North Africa. Many Arabs opposed British colonialism in their land and Hitler utilised this to his own benefit in his war against the British. See "Free Arab Legion".

Much has also been talked about Hitler's meetings with the Grand Mufti Amin al-Husseini, they were on a friendly basis, but I wouldn't go as far as saying they were friends. Their relationship was probably more of a strategic one given the Free Arab legion.

jshm2 · Answer

You feel wrong, then.

Hitler wasn't against Jews, he was against everyone he didn't fall behind his ideologies. He actually killed more gays, Christians, gypsies and detractors than Jews. But people like to be selective with their history of that time.

Nivkhia · Answer

No, there were Muslim divisions in the SS and Iraq was briefly an Axis power. Germany was allied with Iran, had good relations with Turkey and the rest of the Muslim world. Nazi Propagandists attempted to incite revolts against the British. There were even Black Muslims from the French colonies who fought in the Balkan campaigns.

Pantera9000 · Answer

He wasn't against Jews, he was against Bolsheviks which happened to be all Jews.
There was 160,000 Jews in the German forces and several 1000 in the Finland forces and many were valiant warriors who received Iron cross and other high faluten awards.
These are documented records in many cases.
The maximum number of Bolshevik Jews captured by Germans was between 60k and 120k.

jahaims · Answer

He was against everything that wasn't his ideal "master race"

Nadim171 · Answer

Not at all. Hitler himself said that he admired Muhammed and that if Europe would have embraced Islam instead of "weak" Christianity, Germany would have achieved far more conquests. He was a close friend of Hajj Amin Al Husseini, a Palestinian muslim cleric who encouraged hitler to execute the jews instead of expelling them. Many muslims fought under Hitler in the 13th division of the warden SS. Mein Kamph is a best selling in many muslim countries.

DaveToo · Answer

Hitler, and the NAZI organization, pushed Christianity. Not the CHRISTian bible but the Jewish one, the Old Testament. Ironic, huh?

Andres77 · Answer

The Islamic brotherhood was formed in 1928. They were active supporters of Hitler's Holocaust.

EmbraceThePain · Answer

No, I think he had a hate/disdain for most who wasn't part of his inner circle (Nazi, Aryan/white race).

Dchrls78104 · Answer

As far as I've read, Hitler hated and killed anyone who was: 1. A Jew.  2. Black.  3. Gypsy/Roma. 4. Not a Catholic.  5. Not an "Aryan" (a race of people with blonde hair, blue eyes, and white skin).

Gray-Wisp · Answer

Technically in the sense that he was creating his own religion but didn't really get to that much as he was in a giant war. I believe he would try to force everyone to be apart of that religion.

JesseJayNeak · Answer

He was displeased when Jesse Owens won the gold medals. What makes you think he would have been pleased if a Muslim did it?

Anonymous · Answer

he probably didn't care or have much knowledge of them. but if he did have knowledge of them or islam, he probably would've liked it because it's extreme right wing bullshit.
