As Mein Kampf Turns 100, Why is this Similar Antisemitic Manifesto by the ‘Philosopher of Islamic Terror’ Still Freely Available on Amazon?
Precisely 100 years ago, on July 18th 1925, a book we are often told is the most dangerous in all of human history was published in Germany: Mein Kampf (‘My Struggle’), the early-life autobiography-cum-manifesto of Adolf Hitler.
To mark the anniversary, various media organisations are running features and articles, like a new edition of the BBC Radio Four documentary series Archive On 4. This cautionary-sounding episode warns of the book’s alleged contemporary salience, in terms of “the extent to which Mein Kampf lives on in digital spaces, political rhetoric and increasingly mainstream narratives about race, identity and nationhood”, by which I think the BBC actually means ‘anyone who votes Reform, Le Pen, AfD or Trump is a not-so-secret Nazi’.

Mein Koran Steve. 1600 verses of Christophobia, more Christophobic than anti-Semitic. Backed up by 1400 years of Jihad, slaughter, rape, enslavement and violence.
Why isn’t Mein Koran banned?
Have you read it?
I did a study once – Mein Koran vs Mein Kampf side by side much to the chagrin of family and a few friends. I found the latter less racist, less violent, more cogent and better written.
Is Mein Koran actually a book ( just woke up 😴)
Weird that The Radio 4 Guy is called John Kampfner ! Spooky 😳
I thought this was funny. The Lefty nutjobs ( see ‘Stand Up To Racism’/ Antifa’s antics and recent footage from Epping as evidence ) constantly rely on projection and possess a total lack of self awareness in their attempt to smear others that disagree with them with the terms ”Nazi” or ”fascist”, when it is they, in fact, that have more in common with Hitler than anyone else;
”Liberal Goes Back In Time To Kill Hitler.”

The Antifa was originally a street fighting organisation founded by the KPD (Kommunistische Partei Deutschlands, Communist Party of Germany, originally another SPD splinter group) in the 1920s to stop marshes of the NSDAP/ SA by turning them into mass brawls. While the present Antifa has obviously little to no organizational ties to the original, they’re still using the same logo.
What is ‘projection’?
When you accuse others of behaviour you display yourself, thereby demonstrating hypocrisy.
An example is when a misogynist projects his hostility towards women by accusing her of being a misandrist. He’s accusing her of traits he himself shows. The entire German government accusing the AfD of being anti-democratic and of fascism is another obvious one.

If any time traveller was really a liberal, they would go back to the Edwardian era and ensure Britain didn’t enter the war in 1914, thus enabling Imperial Germany to achieve her objective in 1914 of dismantling the Russian Empire.
If that had occurred, no one would ever have heard of Hitler. There wouldn’t have been a Nazi Party or any of the associated horrors. Nor would there have been a Ukraine war.
Books like Mein Kamf (it’s funny that jihad also implies struggle) and Milestones could be banned coherently in a free speech context because by their own admission, these texts are not reciprocal to the basis of free speech for others.
Books are things which cannot act.
In the book “Islamic Fasism”, Hamad Abdel-Samar said, “Not yet officially a political party, the Muslim Brotherhood’s members joined with the ultranationalists of Misr al-Fatah (Young Egypt), founded in October 1933 and modeled on the NSDAP (Nationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterpartei, or National Socialist German Workers’ Party). Misr al-Fatah even used the Hitler salute as its party greeting. Two young officers in this party, Gamal Abdel Nasser and Anwar Sadat, would go on to shape Egypt’s destiny, both endorsing collaboration with the Brotherhood at this point.” Hitler was also a fan of the Islamists, “Amin al-Husseini’s relationship with the Nazi regime is thoroughly documented, with the grand mufti debating the “Final Solution to the Jewish question” with Ministers Joachim von Ribbentrop and Adolf Eichmann and hoping to solicit Hitler’s support for an Arab state in Palestine modeled on Nazi Germany…” “Al-Banna and al-Husseini had been friends long before the latter’s flight from Germany, where al-Husseini resided as Hitler’s personal guest during the war, following a failed pro-German putsch in Iran in 1941.” So the Nazi admiration of the Islamists is very well documented if people care to look, But for some reason the politicians and more notably the Labour Party are bringing… Read more »
In Hitler’s Table Talk there several references praising Islam and Mohamed. For example: “Had Charles Martel not been victorious at Poitiers … then we should in all probability have been converted to Islam, that cult which glorifies heroism and which opens Heaven to the bold warrior alone. Then the Germanic races would have conquered the world. Christianity alone prevented them from doing so.”
Yes, not to forget that there were many Nazi sympathisers in Britain, America, France and almost every country in Europe if not the world. After the war systems were put in place to prevent the atrocities from happening again, unfortunately these powers have now been hijacked by something ( and people) just as sinister as the Nazis. As in the 1930s most people have not quite realised what is happening, but there are people in the wilderness who have realised and are now marshalling to prevent it all repeating itself. The world does however seem to be in a much worse place now.
The notion that – despite fascism hasn’t been a relevant force in politics anywhere for about 80 years now – antifascism is still the dominant political issue of the day is straight from the Communist playbook as the Communist theory sees fascism as just a developmental stage of capitalism and thus, regards all capitalist states as latently fascist.
It’s high time that we get rid of this spectre from the ever more distant past and the people who still try to ride it in order to deal with problems of the current century instead.
The problem is that fascism is not well defined, the socialists always seem to easily morph into fascists. A few exceptions individually but the main fascists leaders were socialists, the exception being Franco, he was an authoritarian, like Starmer with balls. The religious authoritarian groups such as Roman Catholics and Islamists fit right in. Which is why both these groups courted the Nazis.
Almost 5 decades ago’……Yeshayahu Leibowitz, an Israeli sage like figure of his time wrote:
“The Arabs would be the working people and the Jews the administrators, inspectors, officials, and police—mainly secret police. A state ruling a hostile population of 1.5 to 2 million foreigners would necessarily become a secret-police state, with all that this implies for education, free speech and democratic institutions.”
Those systems ‘designed to prevent atrocities..’ failed rather quickly.
When I was 10 or 11 and allowed into the adult section of the local library, I chose as my two books for that week Hitler’s Mein Kampf and Marx’s Das Kapital.
Naturally the librarian was worried, but my mother was happy, so I could borrow them.
My assessment? They were both turgid, boring crap.
Didn’t it ever occur you that it’s rather strange that political pressure groups of today want to ban the sales of Hitler’s book? If the cartoon summary Kill all Jews and conquer the world were actually correct, it could only help their cause. Hitler’s real beef is actually with the socialists/ communists and, to a lesser degree, liberals and democrats which are – in his opinion – all just different faces of the Jewish conspiracy against the German people. But he describes this as second-order observation. He started with being opposed to socialism, here meaning whatever the policies of the SPD in its myriad of disguises in Germany and Austria were, and then claimed to have noticed that almost all of the prominent socialists were Jews. He’s also not much infatuated with Conquering the world. By that time, Germany was about ⅓ larger than today and the German population kept growing as birth control was – as opposed to the situation in France – considered an anathema. As Germany – population around 60 million – was also considered to be very densely populated at that time, naturally, the problem how to cope with continuous population growth in a limited area… Read more »
Thank you for the balanced tone.
Why is the Koran freely available?
Or the Tanekh (Hebrew Bible)? There is a lot of hatred in there. And whilst we are at it the Old Testament is not much better…….
Oh would these be the same 16 year olds that spray grafitti on all the street furniture in town, the ones who break shop windows at 2am? The same kiddies who never worked a day in their lives? Just asking. Has your prime minister lost his tiny little mind. Looks like it. I have a better idea kier. Give the vote to every toddler and let their parents push the button at the polling station for them. The Uk is no longer made up with adults with brains. Just a bunch of incompetent politicians and impotent adults. It is sad to watch.
