\"AdolfDr. Entesar Al-Banna , a columnist for the Bahraini daily Al-Watan, wrote that she was shocked to see that many young Arabs idolize Hitler- a phenomenon she says stems from the wave of violence afflicting the region and, as a result, people are looking to someone who challenged the rest of the world.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Many young Arabs worship Nazi leader Adof Hitler, and they view his reign in Nazi Germany as a period of stability and power, an Arab columnist has discovered.<\/span><\/p>\n

In a February column for the Bahraini daily Al-Watan, Dr. Entesar Al-Banna, wrote that she had discovered, much to her surprise, that many young Arabs idolize Hitler, mainly for his strength and steadfastness in fighting the entire world.<\/span><\/p>\n

She assessed that this phenomenon stems from the wave of violence afflicting the region and the sense of helplessness that it causes, as a result of which people look to someone who challenged the rest of the globe.<\/span><\/p>\n

According to Al-Banna, this worship of strength reflects the instability and the crisis of the Arab world, a crisis which is manifested in many ways, ranging from suppression of free expression to the use of extreme violence on all levels.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIn a course for teenage girls, where I was present, the instructor asked the girls an ordinary question: \u2018Who is your favorite figure?\u2019 Most of the answers were interesting, and included new media figures with whom I am not familiar. But the shocking answer given by several of the girls \u2013 which compelled me to argue with them \u2013 was that they were fans of Hitler!,\u201d she wrote, according to a translation by the Middle East Media Research Institute (MEMRI).<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI interrupted one of the girls who said that Hitler was her favorite figure, asking her: \u2018Are you serious or joking?\u2019 She looked at me, amazed, and replied: \u2018Yes, I am serious.\u2019 This led another girl to add: \u2018I too love Hitler\u2019s personality.\u2019 I asked the first girl: \u2018What do you like about Hitler\u2019s personality?\u2019 She responded, very confidently: \u2018His strength, and his ability to unite his country\u2019s military and leadership and to stand fast in war.\u2019 I asked her: \u2018Do you realize that his strength caused an entire world war, and the destruction of Germany and France?\u2019 She responded: \u2018Yes. I read his book Mein Kampf and was impressed by his strength, his faith, and his perseverance.\u2019<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cHer answer surprised me still further, because I myself haven\u2019t read Hitler\u2019s [auto]biography, nor am I curious to read it. I told her: \u2018But Hitler was a dictator who heeded nothing but his inner voice, and was a racist who recognized only the German Aryan race.\u2019 She responded: \u2018So what? It was enough that he was strong!\u2019 Then she changed the subject, saying: \u2018I also like the strong militant personality of Che Guevara.\u2019 Here I took advantage of the difference [between the two figures] in order to fulfill my formal role as a teacher, and told her that there is a difference between Hitler\u2019s racist and dictatorial values and Che Guevara\u2019s universal values, which favor the oppressed peoples and strive for justice and liberation. I suggested that she see the movie about Che Guevara\u2019s life story, even though I, in all honesty, haven\u2019t seen that either. And then she surprised me a third time by saying that she had read his [auto]biography, which had more depth than the movie. I didn\u2019t even know that Che Guevara had written an autobiography.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u2018Wide Spectrum of Young Arabs Love Hitler\u2019<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThe young girls\u2019 admiration of Hitler\u2019s personality and their inclination towards powerful [figures] led me to search for [material] on \u2018Hitler adoration\u2019 and fandom, and indeed, I discovered a wide spectrum of young Arabs who love Hitler. Some said they admired him for killing the Jews, but most were enchanted by his strength, determination, and steadfastness.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThis begs the question: What is behind these young peoples\u2019 love of strength? Are they fans of the violence engulfing the region? Or does the sense of helplessness and weakness [cause them] to adore of a figure who challenged the world with his strength and led an entire people to fight the world?<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe are facing a generation of young people who read [books], in an age when reading is considered obsolete \u2013 except that these [young people] read [material] of a very worrisome stripe, and acquire twisted values that could impact their future awareness, the extent of their control over things, and their situational assessments. The desire for acquiring and expressing power and for challenging the other has become a secret wish that steals into the hearts of these young people and which is expressed in many ways. This wish reflects the reality of a crisis-ridden, unstable society, [a reality whose expressions] range from suppression of free expression to the use of extreme violence on all levels \u2013 verbal, physical, and electronic [media violence].\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n
