Mein Kampf is still required reading for Pali’s. More of them have read that tripe than their “holy book”. The Grand Mufti would be so proud.
Hitler-worship in the ME didn’t start as a reaction to Arab defeats by the Israelis. Muzzies had long looked to the Nazis as a deliverance from British dominion, and to the German Empire before then. German military swagger & arrogance actually made them many `wannabe’ fans among Arabs.
During WWII there were Arabs who fought alongside the Afrika Korps hoping to be awarded the most coveted of all decorations - the Iron Cross.
Mein Kampf (My Jihad) was first published in Arabic even before the Nazis came to power. It has been a bestseller in the ME since the 1930’s.
I recall seeing that in the arab and muslim countries, "Mein Kampf" is the #2 selling book, after the koran.

I defy anyone to actually read Mein Kampf. It's the most turgid, tedious twaddle imaginable. You expect foaming-at the-mouth madness, you just get boredom. He might have been a great speaker, but he was a crummy writer.
