Christianity's 20th Century bin Laden
"I believe that I am acting in accordance with the will of the Almighty Creator (Allah): by defending myself against the Jew (Infidel), I am fighting for the work of the Lord (Prophet).."
--Mein Kampf
My feelings as a Christian (Muslim) points me to my Lord and Savior (the Prophet) as a fighter. It points me to the man who once in loneliness, surrounded only by a few followers, recognized these Jews (Infidels) for what they were and summoned men to fight against them and who, God's (Allah's) truth! was greatest not as a sufferer but as a fighter. In boundless love as a Christian (Muslim) and as a man I read through the passage which tells us how the Lord (Allah) at last rose in His might and seized the scourge to drive out of the Temple (our Holy Land) the brood of vipers and adders. How terrific was His fight for the world against the Jewish (Infidel) poison. To-day, after two thousand years, with deepest emotion I recognize more profoundly than ever before in the fact that it was for this that He had to shed His blood upon the Cross. As a Christian (Muslim) I have no duty to allow myself to be cheated, but I have the duty to be a fighter for truth and justice....
And if there is anything which could demonstrate that we are acting rightly it is the distress that daily grows. For as a Christian (Muslim) I have also a duty to my own people....
When I go out in the morning and see these men standing in their queues and look into their pinched faces, then I believe I would be no Christian (Muslim), but a very devil if I felt no pity for them, if I did not, as did our Lord (the Prophet) two thousand years ago, turn against those by whom to-day this poor people is plundered and exploited.
It will at any rate be my supreme task to see to it that in the newly awakened NSDAP (Al Qaeda), the adherents of both Confessions can live peacefully together side by side in order that they may take their stand in the common fight against the power which is the mortal foe of any true Christianity (Islam).
-Adolf Hitler, in an article headed "A New Beginning," 26 Feb. 1925
I believe that Providence (Allah) would never have allowed us to see the victory of the Movement (Jihad) if it had the intention after all to destroy us at the end.
-Adolf Hitler, in a speech to old members of the Party at Munich on 8 Nov. 1933
What we are we have become not against, but with, the will of Providence (Allah). And so long as we are true and honourable and of good courage in fight, so long as we believe in our great work and do not capitulate, we shall continue to enjoy in the future the blessing of Providence (Allah).
-Adolf Hitler, at Rosenheim in Bavaria, 11 Aug. 1935
