society. Even where the people in question are difficult to

improve, the most ethical and just solutions must be found,
rather than exterminating them.
In the years that followed, Americans' common sense real-
ized that eugenics was literally nothing more than savagery and
took necessary measures to halt these practices. Yet at that same
time the Nazis had adopted the American laws as a role model
in their first measures regarding sterilization and forcibly steril-
ized 2 million people. 117

As the examples cited so far clearly show, deceptive propa-
ganda so full of falsehoods of Social Darwinism tries to make
people less sensitive to one another, to eliminate feelings of sym-
pathy and compassion, until human beings treat each other lit-
erally like animals. This is the exact opposite of the virtues
imparted by religious moral values. The Qur'an commands
looking after the weak and needy, and protecting the sick and

those with nobody to care for them. No matter what the circum-
stances, God commands believers to ensure others' comfort
before their own, and to be patient and altruistic always. To
those who do good by displaying patience, God imparts these
glad tidings:
They give food, despite their love for it, to the poor and orphans
and captives: "We feed you only out of desire for the Face of
God. We do not want any repayment from you or any thanks.
Truly We fear from our Lord a glowering, calamitous Day." So
God has safeguarded them from the evil of that Day and has
made them meet with radiance and pure joy and will reward
them for their steadfastness with a Garden and with silk. (Surat
al-Insan, 8-12)
