Adolf Hitler on the Battle of Tours
Albert Speer, Hitler’s Armaments Minister, described how Hitler expressed approval of Islam, saying that Hitler had been particularly impressed by what he had heard from a delegation of Arabs. When the Muslims had tried to penetrate Central Europe in the 8th century, they had been driven back at the Battle of Tours; if they had won that battle, the world would have become Muslim (maybe). Theirs was a religion, Hitler said, that believed in spreading the faith by the sword and subjugating all nations to that faith. Hitler considered that Islam was perfectly suited to the “Germanic” temperament and would have been more compatible to the Germans than Christianity.[52]

He was only racial against the Jews.
He didn’t really have a known problem with other minorities, just Jews.

Nonsense. Hitler had contempt for Blacks and Slavs. But he didn’t view them as a threat in the same way he saw the Jews as a threat. And to say that he admired what Islam enabled the Arabs to achieve militarily isn’t to say that he thought Arabs and other “non-Aryans” were his equals.
