ety. Even where the people in ques-
tion are difficult to improve, the
most ethical and just solutions

must be found, rather than exter-
minating them.
In the years that followed,
Americans' common sense realized

that eugenics was literally nothing
more than savagery and took neces-
sary 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 re-
garding sterilization and forcibly sterilized 2 million
people. 117
As the examples cited so far clearly show, deceptive

propaganda so full of falsehoods of Social Darwinism
tries to make people less sensitive to one another, to
eliminate feelings of sympathy and compassion, until human beings treat each other literally like ani-
mals. 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 circumstances, 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 de-

sire 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)

Eugenics in Nazi Germany

Ian Kershaw's 1998 biography of Adolf
Hitler states that Social Darwinism, eugenics

and fascism were closely interconnected in
1920s Germany:

Integral nationalism, ... national socialism,
social Darwinism, racism, biological anti-
Semitism, eugenics, elitism intermingled in

varying strengths... 118

The alleged scientific basis of eugenics is the theo-
ry of evolution. A poster in which eugenicists stress
the link between eugenics and evolution.
