Nazi-obsessed ISIS warlords immerse themselves in Adolf Hitler’s ramblings as Arabic version of Mein Kampf becomes the jihadis ‘must-read book’
The parallels between Hitler's Third Reich and the ISIS 'caliphate' are astonishing
ISIS warlords are immersing themselves in the teachings of Hitler as they try to build a worldwide empire based on their murderous beliefs.
Arabic translations of Adolf Hitler’s Mein Kampf – My Struggle – are being pored over by leaders of the terror group as they plot world domination.
A copy of the book – in which the Nazi leader outlines his hatred for Jews and Bolsheviks and plans for an all-conquering Germany - was seized from an ISIS leader in the Sinai area of Egypt where the group has a strong foothold.
This picture showing the sickening book was tweeted by Mohammad Samir al-Aziz, the official military spokesman for the Egyptian Armed Forces, after troops captured them.
And experts have pointed out that the group has adopted many methods first seen in Nazi Germany.
One striking similarity is indoctrinating children from birth through an extremism-based education similar to that taught by the Nazi regime in a bid to create a generation "more lethal than themselves", a study said.
The report by the Quillam foundation, Children of Islamic State, outlines how the methods used by ISIS to indoctrinate kids through schools and training camps has been influenced by elements from Nazi Germany.
"Islamic State’s approach to education reflects elements of Nazi Germany in the way that children and pedagogy are perceived," states the report.
The group’s leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi claims to be God’s deputy on Earth, sent to wreak holy war on the enemies of Islam.
Just like Adolf Hitler, al-Baghdadi rules through fear, stemming from an unshakeable belief that his followers are destined to rule the world.
Those who do not convert to his twisted interpretation of Islam face brutal punishments.
Hitler's Holocaust killed six million Jews and he was also the architect of the murders of millions of gypsies, Poles, Slavs, Soviet PoWs, communists, homosexuals and the disabled.
Under ISIS, Christians have been crucified, non-believers beheaded and homosexuals hurled from buildings.
After the Iraqi town of Sinjar was liberated mass graves were uncovered, one containing the bodies of more than 80 women.
The Nazi’s effective use of propaganda was revolutionary. Hitler used leaflets, posters and films and radio to brainwash the masses.
Today, ISIS produces professional-looking videos showing gruesome murders, children executing captured fighters, westerners being beheaded and other outrages.
