Why do muslims think that the Nazis are Christians?

Question

I keep hearing this argument over and over again. How in any way are the Narzis Christians?

So according to muslims, if I put a "christian" sticker on my forehead and walk on the street, I'm automatically a christian?

Since George W. Bush is Christian, therefore All Americans are Christian, so how can there be a muslim American?

Answer 1

The Nazi's were not Christian, they (Hitler) wanted secularism in Germany. Hitler was a Christian, and his beliefs influenced NSDAP to some extent, but the Third Reich was not a Christian empire.

Answer 2

I dont know, but I can tell ya today, an insane amount of Christians have that Nazi mentality, so I dont blame anyone for thinking that.

Goerge Bush and the American government represent AMERICA...So ofcourse, people in other countries are going to base their views on Americans by the way this country is run...which we all know how thats going =/

Answer 3

I wouldnt say its just the muslims. And it could be kind of a fall out from the bush admin. I mean bush won hands down because the christians organized (A clear violation of the seperation of church and state) to put him there. Then he makes torture legal takes away the right to judicial process etc. I would really say its these reasons that cause it. Well that and an almost blind rush into things with disregards for the views of others.

Answer 4

Because there were some Nazi perversion of Christian teachings. Its their rebuttal when Christians lump all muslims together with terrorists. BTW, hatred for the jews was partly blamed on the fact that some Christians blamed jews for the crucifixion. Certainly its not Christian doctrine, but they perform atrocities in the name of Christ.

Edit: Dude, muslims aren't the only ones guilty of stereotyping. For example, just because the people who told you that Nazis are christians were muslims, do you have license to assume that all muslims would say that?

Answer 5

The Nazis are Christians even Hitler is a Catholic but like Osama bin Laden, he hates Jews and second the nazis never persecuted religions except Judaism unlike the Soviet Union who believes that religion is an enemy of Communism

Answer 6

They flagged themselves that way.

Its no different to calling terrorists Islamic now is it?

Both go against the word by which they are supposed to live their lives, and yet they call themselves that anyway.

And a lot were Chrisitans, by Christening or Baptism.
Hitler himself was so convinced of his own conviction that he ordered his people all over the world in search of ancient relics such as the Holy Grail and the Ark of the Covenant so that Germany would be looked apon in all senses as a great and powerful nation.

"My feelings as a Christian points me to my Lord and Savior as a fighter. It points me to the man who once in loneliness, surrounded by a few followers, recognized these Jews for what they were and summoned men to fight against them and who, God’s truth! was greatest not as a sufferer but as a fighter. In boundless love as a Christian and as a man I read through the passage which tells us how the Lord at last rose in His might and seized the scourge to drive out of the Temple the brood of vipers and adders. How terrific was His fight for the world against the Jewish poison. To-day, after two thousand years, with deepest emotion I recognize more profoundly than ever before the fact that it was for this that He had to shed His blood upon the Cross. As a Christian I have no duty to allow my self to be cheated, but I have the duty to be a fighter for truth and justice… And if there is anything which could demonstrate that we are acting rightly it is the distress that daily grows . For as a Christian I have also a duty to my own people." –Adolf Hitler, in a speech on 12 April 1922 (Norman H. Baynes, ed. The Speeches of Adolf Hitler, April 1922-August 1939, Vol. 1 of 2, pp. 19-20, Oxford University Press, 1942)

Nazis killed members of a religion, in order to identify that dichotomy, you either had to be Jewish or Christian. The logic in your added details doesn't make sense. Hitler encouraged teaching Christianity in schools. What else can one conclude?

Answer 8

Part of the German propaganda against the Jewish people was that the Jews crucified Christ. The Pope of the Catholic Church, Pope Pius XII wanted to remain neutral and signed a separation of church and state with Germany. He would not intercede and condemn the Germans on the Jews behalf.
The Catholic church in the 1980s apologized to the Jewish people for their part in the propaganda that the Jews crucified Christ.

Answer 9

Same like christains think Alqaeda people are muslims.....Nazis also claimed to be christains as Alqaeda is claiming to be muslims......and the world is labelling all the muslim community as terrorist for crimes of those ignorants...!!

Problem is with out attitude......this is all action and reaction game......and this is the reason that we are lacking peace this time....If we just specify the criminals and separate them from the actual followers..we would know the actual facts..!and hope it would work for the world peace as well.....actualy by this kind of stereotyping we are losing our way !!

Answer 10

many Nazis claimed to be Christian. It is a historical fact. the Nazi party came to power to fight the atheist's communism.
