Did Hitler like Arabs, or Islam in general?

Question: Did Hitler like Arabs, or Islam in general!?

I've heard that he formed alliances within the arab world, and offered military assistances to Muslims, in what is now known as Pakistan!.

Is this true!? What did he think of Muslims and South Asians on a racial basis!?Www@QuestionHome@Com

Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:

Hitler did actually make alliances with some Arab nations - but this was based upon anti-Jewish and anti-British policiies and declarations - which the Arab nations were all too pleased to swallow and run with - despite what Hitler was doing to achieve his objectives!.

There is no doubt, however, that when those alliances had fulfilled his needs he would have turned on them as they did not fit his Aryan ideal!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Well Hitler actually had supporters in Iraq during WW2!. There was a coup attempt in Iraq, and fascist arabs with sympathies for Hitler briefly took control!.

However, there was a British RAF base in Iraq, and the British, with the support of Iraq's Assyrian Christian race, who were supporters of Britain, fought a brief battle with the Arabs at a place called Habbaniyah!. The British and Assyrians crushed the Arab coup, and won a few more minor skirmishes on the way!.

So yes, the Nazis were active in trying to drum up anti allied support in the muslim world!. They were also active in Iran and Palestine!.

During the war with Montgomery in muslim North Africa, Rommel had some Arabs fighting on his side, and there were some sympathisers there!.

also, many Bosnian Muslims were recruited by the Nazis in the bloody fighting in Yugoslavia during WW2!.

Muslims arent a race!. But as a religion, Hitler had no time for Islam or any other religion really!. He would use members of any religion (bar Jews) if he thought it would benefit him though!.

Hitler was a racist, and would have had little respect for Arabs or Asians, he simply used them, or tried to, because he thought it would help him win the war!.

Arabs are actually Semites, same as Jews, Assyrians, Maltese etc, so Hitler would have secretly detested them!.

Hitler believed that the Germanic and Nordic races were superior to all others!. So Slavs, South Asians, Semites, Orientals, Blacks, Turks etc were all UNTERMENSCH (underlings) in his eyes!.

EDIT - RE BOB's comment below mine!. Britain actually did not have many Imperial Colonies in Mid East during WW2, Iraq, Saudi Arabia, Kuait etc were all independent, and it was already known, that Britain would soon withdraw from the area fully anyway!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

In Nazi racial theory, Arabs and South Asians would have been inferior to Aryan Germans!. However, Hitler gained Arab support because they had common enemies: Jews, and the British Empire!.

People from India, Arab countries, and Muslims from Southeastern Europe were recruited for the German Army!. Hitler also found a close ally in Mohammad Amin al-Husayni, a Muslim religious leader in Jerusalem!. al-Husayni declared jihad against British imperial rule in the Middle East!. Iraq then declared its support for the Axis, but was then invaded and occupied by the U!.K!. in 1941!. Germany and Italy offered minimal support, in the form of several fighter squadrons!. Due to fears that Iran's Nazi-sympathetic government would join the Axis as well, British and Soviet forces invaded later that year to secure the Persian Corridor!.

In Berlin, al-Husyani made propaganda broadcasts to Arabs calling on them to rebel!. The Germans would have relied heavily on Arab support when occupying the Middle East, but the defeats at El Alamein and Stalingrad halted the advance into that region!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Hitler personally hated all non-Aryans, and since Arabs are Semites, they fall into the same catergory as Jews!. Nontheless, various Arab countries were sympathetic to the Nazis not because of Hitler's Anti-Jewish policies, but because in the late 30s, the Nazis promised to rid the Arabs of their French and British rulers!. Because of this, there was some Arab support of the Nazis, but once Hilter's actual agenda became clear, Arab support dried up very rapidly!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Hitler was never in love with Arabs as a race!. He hated their mental inferiority; as it was never a secret that he never liked Mussolini as a man!. He considered him a moron!. Hitler's supposed
alliance withing the Arab world was due to the fact that the Arabs never accepted the British!. And anything or anyone against the British, even the Devil, was eligible to an alliance with him!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

In General, he hardly thought of them at all!. There are two passing mentions in Mein Kampf,
He attributed the qualities he admired in Haj Amin Al-Husseini to descent from the Romans!. Hitler was like that!.
Gordon B - Arab support dried up, eh!? Come off it!. I too spent 17 years (by coincidence) in the Middle East, and the Arabs adored and adore Hitler!. If anyone surpasses them in adoration, it is western Muslim converts!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

No, in its book "Mein Kamft" he suggests that every race is something like a sub-species under the human species and just like some breed of dogs are superior to others, one race or sub-species among humans ought to be superior than others, this was supposed to be the Arian race, so he degrees all the other races as inferior!.

Hitler indeed made alliances with some Arabs and Japanese though he considered them inferior to him, though all his theories about the superiority of the German men had already proven wrong in the Olympic Games of Berlin 1936!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Hitler, born Adolfus Schicklgruber, could, not was, could perhaps have been one quarter jewish, as no-one knows for sure who his maternal grandmother was, although people suspect it was a Jewess!. he was conscious of the fact, and blew any chance of being sure up!. As for his opinion or arabs, he wasn't too fond of them, he had a kind of theoretical "league table" of races, with Aryans, Scandanavians and Brits at the top, while he regarded black people and those from the middle east as vastly inferior, with the Jews being last!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Oh no!

I've read his book Mein Kampf, he clearly looked down to Egyptians & Indians (That is when Pakistan was part of India)!. He believed they're both inferior races who are not worthy of alliance!.

Hitler had even criticized the German Churches for spending too much money on missionaries to Africa!. He believed the reason why Islam is spreading in Africa with much less resources is because Africans & Islam deserve each other (inferior race with inferior religion), & that the German churches must focus on the German society instead!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Pretty common myth!. There were certain Arab apologists, just as there were in the USA and almost every other western country in the world!.

The great aviator Lindberg was a Nazi apologist and from my home state of Minnesota!. Does not mean Minnesotans supported Hitler, or Hitler had affliction with the Great North Star State!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Probably not!. Adolf Schickelgruber (real name) was half Jewish - I think his mother was Jewish!.

He wasn't alone obviously!.!.!. he was more of an aesthetical figure!. THEY were all just a bunch of white supremacist evil thugs!. And there are still many of them out there just with the same intentions today - but go about their evil 'work' stealthfully in many a guise!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

He hated everyone who wasn't White!.
He infact made a deal with Zionists to expel as many Jews as possible from Germany before the Holocaust began!.
There were some ignorant Arabs who liked him, because they were Jew haters too, little did they know he classed them in the same group!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Hitler's main aim was to make Germany the predominant power in Europe!.Arabs and Islam were not important factors at that time to merit his attention!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Yes he did!. He once secretly said he wished Germany was Muslim!. He thought their religion was more violent and therefore more suited to Nazi Germany!. Like it or not!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I heard he died by shooting himself in the head & that he was evil & whatever he was into was not important because he upset too many people for anyone to careWww@QuestionHome@Com

He invited Arab dignitaries to Germany!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Hitler was always called Hitler his father had taken that name by the time of Adolfs birth!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

No, Hitler was a racist an d most of all he was ANTI- JEWISH!!!! he hated jews for some reason!!!Www@QuestionHome@Com

NopeWww@QuestionHome@Com

Adolf Hitler employed many Muslims in the SS because as he himself said, "the Muslims will die for any cause"!.

Adolf Hitler was greatly impressed with Islam as he saw it as a war-like creed!.
