Nazism and Islam were more closely aligned than most people realize Heinrich Himmler’s Remarkable Admiration For Islam: “It Promises Beautiful Women In Heaven”

There's actually a remarkable resemble between the Muslim paradise and Valhalla, where is where worshipers of Thor go if they die, sword in hand. Of course, the women in Valhalla aren't necessarily virgins.

Fascinating. Has anything been written on this similarity?

Of course, from a Christian perspective I might say that the same warlike demonic spirits may be behind both religions. But even apart from metaphysical speculation which can't be proven on this side of eternity, I would be interested in seeing more about the similarities in the pantheons from a comparative religion perspective.
