Entry: More about Islamofascism Link: http://www.takimag.com/blogs/article/more_about_islamofascism#5753 Post contents: As usual, Sid is wrong. Here is John Lukacs himself, from page 208 of The End of the Twentieth Century and the End of the Modern Age: At this point we must realize that Hitler himself was an extreme nationalist rather than a racist. He himself expressed this in one of his least known, yet most telling, long speeches to a group of generals and officers on 26 May 1944: “We have a Volk that should not be seen as identical with race…the bourgeois kept telling me: Volk and Race are one and the same. No! Volk and Race are not the same: Race is an ingredient of the blood, the kernel, but the Volk is formed not by one race, it is formed by 2, 3, 4 or 5 different racial kernels.” Hitler had no compunction or hesitation about allying himself with Japanese, Chinese, Rumanians, Arabs, against Nordic Aryan peoples: Norwegians, Dutch, English. There was a racist element in his thinking (as there is an almost every nationalist), but his governing obsession, the one against Jews, was something other than biological. On one occasion he referred to Jews as less a physical than a “spiritual race.” Sent at: 2008 07 24
