In one Discover the Networks summary on Hasan Al-Banna, founder of the Muslim Brotherhood, and his influence on the roots of Palestinian Nationalism we find the following:
“Both (the Nazis and the Brotherhood) were explicitly anti-nationalist in the sense that they believed in the liquidation of the nation-state in favor of a trans-national unifying community: in Islam the umma (community of all believers); and in Nazism the herrenvolk (master race). Both worshipped the unifying totalitarian figure of the Caliph or Führer. And both rabidly hated the Jews and sought their destruction.”
“As the Brotherhood’s political and military alliance with Nazi Germany developed, these parallels facilitated practical interactions that created a full-blown alliance, with all the pomp and panoply of formal state visits, de facto ambassadors, and overt as well as sub rosa joint ventures. Al-Banna’s followers easily transplanted into the Arab world a newly Nazified form of traditional Muslim Jew-hatred, with Arab translations of Mein Kampf (translated into Arabic as “My Jihad”) and other Nazi anti-Semitic works, including Der Sturmer hate-cartoons, adapted to portray the Jew as the demonic enemy of Allah.”
Another section of DTN provides an entire collection of articles on the Nazi influence on the Middle East Crisis. Among these are articles by David Meir-Levi on the Marxist and Nazi contributions to the Jihad spirit of today.
Finally, other pages provide extensive links to articles treating of Islamo-fascism, the Justification of Genocide, and the Nazi Roots of Jihad.
In Radical Son, David Horowitz speaks of the most important lesson his parents taught him:
“Ideas matter.”
The War between Civilization and Radical Islam will eventually, as always, be a war of arms. However, in order for there to be strong and effective opposition to this ideology of hatred, it is paramount that we also engage in a street by street, house by house war of ideas. Whether by Tweeting a few Discover the Networks articles a day, or by linking to DTN on personal blogs, there is no need to reinvent the wheel in trying to collect the central ideas about the fascist, genocidal nature of those continuing the war on Civilization.
