Darwinism Lies at the Heart of Savage
Ideologies

Those who look for a supposed middle way between
Darwinism and Islam, who imagine that they can Islamicize this
theory, ignore the harm it inflicts on mankind. They ignore the
fact that savage ideologies such as fascism and communism have
drawn their justification from Darwinism. Yet when we examine
the wars, conflicts, anarchy and chaos experienced in the 20 th cen-
tury, we invariably confront Darwinism behind them.
Soon after it was proposed, the theory of evolution broke out

of the fields of biology and palaeontology and began influencing
a great many areas, from human relationships to the interpreta-
tion of history, and from politics to social life. When the Darwinist
falsehood that "Nature is a place of struggle and conflict" was ap-
plied to human society, then all sorts of twisted ideas assumed an
allegedly scientific guise: Hitler's establishment of a "master race,"
Marx's perceiving the history of mankind as the history of class
conflict, capitalism's expectation of the strong oppressing the
weak, imperialist nations' ruthless exploitation and inhuman
treatment of Third World countries, and the racist attacks and dis-
crimination inflicted on people of color… Those who regarded
human beings as a more advanced species of animal had no hes-
itation about treading on the weak in one way or another, elimi-
nating the sick and feeble or carrying out "ethnic cleansing" to do
away with races they regarded as inferior. Their theory, which
had now assumed a scientific mask, told them that such actions
obeyed a "law of nature."
