When Europe Loved Islam [European Elites using Islam usher in the Ubermensch]

From the outside, with its high minarets and bulbous Mughal-style dome, the Wilmersdorf mosque, located on Brienner Street in southwest Berlin, looks much the same as it did when it was built in the 1920s. But the institution, just like the city around it, has changed. Today, the mosque is a quiet place. It mainly serves as an information center: School children sometimes visit on field trips; it hosts interfaith brunches. A small community of Muslims regularly show up for Friday prayer. It’s all a far cry from the days when the Wilmersdorf mosque was the lively center of a spiritual countercultural movement in the Weimar Republic.

Topics included the growing gap between life and doctrine; the future of Europe; and the future of humanity as a whole. Germans of all ages, wrestling with their profound disillusionment in Christian civilization in the wake of World War I and seeking a religious alternative that was modern and rational, as well as spiritual, attended these lectures, and many of them ultimately converted to Islam.

Converts like Hugo Marcus, a gay Jewish philosopher, show Islam wasn’t just present in Europe in the years after World War I — for some, it played a vital role in discussions about what the continent’s future should look like. Marcus, who helped run the Wilmersdorf mosque, was born in 1880 and moved to Berlin to study philosophy. He converted in 1925, after tutoring young South Asian Muslim immigrants. Adopting the Muslim name Hamid, Marcus wrote articles for the mosque’s publication, Moslemische Revue, in which he engaged with the philosophers popular at the time — Goethe, Nietzsche, Spinoza, and Kant — to argue that Islam was a necessary component in crafting the "New Man."

Psalms 2:1 Why do the heathen rage , and the people imagine a vain thing? 2 The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the LORD, and against his anointed, saying, 3 Let us break their bands asunder , and cast away their cords from us.

Why would German President Angela Merkel make the following statement, "Islam belongs to Germany"? Doesn't this statement contradict 2000 years of recorded history? Yes it does, however Angela Merkel is merely faithfully taking the baton of her European Elite predecessors in their rush to adopt Islam as the future of Europe. European elites, like Obama and the American Elites, have long looked for way to shake the shackles of Judeo-Christian civilization. Islam is an essential element for ushering in Nietzsche's Ubermensch. Why? Man is incurably religious, which is why previous atheist attempts at implementing Ubermensch (e.g. Soviet Experiment, Mao's cultural revolution, etc.) have always failed. By using Islam to placate man's incurable need for religion the elites see an opportunity to sever the chords of Christianity and bring us to Ubermensch.

Why Islam? It is unscientific, unhistorical, factually bankrupt, and in most cases nonsense. Why? Because it approves of, and codifies, every illicit behavior man can dream up and creates fearless (and clueless) warriors for any jihad that ensures their 72 virgins and rivers of wine in heaven. Hitler famously lamented, "Had Charles Martel not been victorious at Poitiers - [...] - then we should in all probability have been converted to Mohammedanism [Islam], that cult which glorifies the heroism and which opens up the seventh Heaven to the bold warrior alone. Then the Germanic races would have conquered the world. Christianity alone prevented them from doing so."

In speeches, Hitler made apparently warm references towards Muslim culture such as: “The peoples of Islam will always be closer to us than, for example, France”.[231]

According to Speer, Hitler stated in private, “The Mohammedan religion too would have been much more compatible to us than Christianity. Why did it have to be Christianity with its meekness and flabbiness?”[230] Speer also stated that when he was discussing with Hitler events which might have occurred had Islam absorbed Europe: “Hitler said that the conquering Arabs, because of their racial inferiority, would in the long run have been unable to contend with the harsher climate and conditions of the country.[230]

Similarly, Hitler was transcribed as saying: “Had Charles Martel not been victorious at Poitiers [...] then we should in all probability have been converted to Mohammedanism, that cult which glorifies the heroism and which opens up the seventh Heaven to the bold warrior alone. Then the Germanic races would have conquered the world.”
