the path of justice, and to treat others with

affection and compassion. Believers know
that there is great wisdom in the creation
of different races and nations, and there-
fore act in a spirit of brotherhood and soli-
darity. Arrogantly seeking to classify peo-

ple according to the race they belong to, in
the absence of any justification, is a feature
of unbelievers and those who set up other

deities beside God. One verse describes
the unbelievers' fanatical rage:
Those who disbelieve filled their hearts with

fanatical rage – the fanatical rage of the Time
of Ignorance... (Surat al-Fath, 26)
Under the influence of his mental im-

balance, Hitler saw the fact that Darwin's
theory ran so parallel to his own twisted
views as an excellent means of spreading
them. His attachment to Darwinism can be
seen in his book Mein Kampf, published in

1925. In Chapter 4, for example, he wrote
that Darwinism was the only basis of a
successful Germany. Robert Clark, author

of Darwin: Before and After, makes this comment on Hitler's devotion to Darwinism:

Evolutionary ideas - quite undisguised - lie at the basis of all that is worst in Mein Kampf - and in his public
speeches. … Hitler reasoned … that a higher race would always conquer a lower. 91

Beate Wilder-Smith, author of The Day Nazi Germany Died, describes the fundamental factor in Nazi
doctrine:

One of the central planks in Nazi theory and doctrine was … evolutionary theory [and] … that all biology had
evolved … upward, and that … less evolved types … should be actively

eradicated [and] … that natural selection could and should be actively aid-
ed, and therefore [the Nazis] instituted political measures to eradicate …
Jews, and … blacks, whom they considered as "underdeveloped". 92

In American Scientist, Professor George J. Stein wrote an article
headed "Biological Science and the Roots of Nazism":

… straightforward German social Darwinism [was] of a type widely known
and accepted throughout Germany and … more importantly, was consid-

ered by most Germans, scientists included, to be scientifically true. More re-
cent scholarship on national socialism and Hitler has begun to realize that
… [their application of Darwin's theory] was the specific characteristic of
Nazism. National socialist "biopolicy," … [was] based on a mystical-biolog-

ical belief in radical inequality, … based on the eternal struggle for exis-

Hitler's book Mein Kampf included a great many
Darwinist statements.
