Islamic Culture MORE than Racist, Fascist, and Imperialist - Incurring Religion More Dangerous

One of the lessons lost on why Nationalist Socialist Germany was as evil as it turned out to be was its insolent appropriation of religious themes, both Catholic and Protestant variants, in causing an anti-Semitic rationalism argument to be the basis of its fascistic tirade against the world that its blamed for its earlier losses under its failed monarchy under the Kaiser. Der Fuhrer was an accomplished politician in the use of those ploys. In that Islam was made partner to the compatible Aryan hatred of the Jewish people does one make the connection that Islam is fascistic through guilt by association. Hatred through religion is more sinister. This is easiest to be seen in the provocations of the Iranian Islamic Regime's antipathies towards Israel.
