“The precepts ordering peoples to wash, to avoid certain drinks, to fast at appointed dates, to take exercise, to rise with the sun, to climb to the top of the minaret – all these were obligations invented by intelligent people. The exhortation to fight courageously is also self-explanatory.” – Adolf Hitler
“Had we been on our own, we could have emancipated the Muslim countries dominated by France; and that would have had enormous repercussions in the Near East, dominated by Britain, and in Egypt. … All Islam vibrated at the news of our victories. The Egyptians, the Iraqis and the whole of the Near East were all ready to rise in revolt. Just think what we could have done to help them, even to incite them, as would have been both our duty and in our own interest! But the presence of the Italians at our side paralysed us. … The memories of the barbarous reprisals taken against the Senussi are still vivid. … The Italians prevented us from playing our best card, the emancipation of the French subjects and the raising of the standard of revolt in the countries oppressed by the British. Such a policy would have aroused the enthusiasm of the whole of Islam. It is a characteristic of the Muslim world, from the shores of the Atlantic to those of the Pacific, that what affects one, for good or for evil, affects all.” – Adolf Hitler
“The Arabian epoch … was the most cultured, the most intellectual and in every way best and happiest epoch in Spanish history. It was followed by the period of the persecutions with its unceasing atrocities.” – Adolf Hitler
“Had Charles Martel not been victorious at Poitiers … then we should in all probability have been converted to Mohammedanism, that cult which glorifies heroism and which opens up the seventh Heaven to the bold warrior alone.” – Adolf Hitler
“It is not enough to merely say: ‘I believe.’ Rather one must swear: ‘I will struggle.’” – Adolf Hitler
