Product Description:
Jihad and Jew-Hatred: Islamism, Nazism and the Roots of 9/11 traces the impact of European fascism and Nazism on Arab and Islamic activists. As Kuentzel investigates the shift of global antisemitism from Nazi Germany to parts of the Arab world during and after World War II, he argues that antisemitism is not merely a supplementary feature of modern jihadism, but lies instead at its ideological core. This fascinating study lays bare the antecedents of the antisemitism that runs rampant in our world today.
For anyone interested in exploring the mindset of hatred that led to the crimes in New York and Washington on September 11th, 2001, this book is a must-read. For readers interested in the history of Nazi Germany and the Holocaust, this book is a challenge to think outside of a narrowly European context. For everyone, this book provides crucial insight into the roots of terror that continue to threaten all of us.

Kuntzel's work is timely indeed. It is positive that such a work should come from the heart of "old Europe," as most most of us in the "new-world worry about "Eurabia," and the end of European civilisation on Europe proper. I couldn't fault Kuntzel's excellently researched book but was disappointed with the printing errors in the very first edition English translation; which is not very professional for a work of this caliber.
Kuntzel almost alone in the non-English speaking world has pointed out the obvious. It was the Arabs (along with the Argentines)that took in Nazi war criminals after WW2 (some probably live to this day in Cairo and Damascus. A fact sadly overlooked by journalists and historians. The Arab and Muslim role in both the Holocaust (with the Palestinian inspired Bosnian SS division) and post-Holocaust anti-Semitism (one only needs to look at the books sold by Iran at the Frankfurt book fair or the words of their president, or the Hamas Charter) has been mostly ignored in the PC West. Kuntzel belongs alongside such intellectual anti-jihadi greats as Charles Johnson and Robert Spencer.
The book is well researched and well translated. It offers a disturbing window into the Islamo-fascist mindset. Muslim fundamentalism is Nazism with "race" replaced with "religion." In this paradigm Muslims' are the "Aryans" and all others are (to these Muslims) "Kaffirs" (Rejecter in Arabic, interestingly -and perhaps appropriately- this is the same word racist white South Africans use about Blacks). Like Nazism Islamism seeks to dominate the world. It divides the world into the "Land of Peace" and the "Land of War." Like in the Nazi worldview Jews are Islam's enemy number one to the likes of Bin Laden.
Kuntzel's book shows that Europe will wake from its PC slumber and celebrate is immense Judeo-Christian cultural legacy without being constrained by its own fascist past. I hope that Kuntzel's book means that Europeans no longer need to "tolerate the intolerance" of Islamism with its patriachal, sexist, anti-semitic and ultimately anti-western belief system.

This book changed my world view of the struggle that some writers have called World War IV. The role of jew hatred as motivation for the enemies of Western Civilization is not adequatly understood by the members of Western Civilization. This book clearly documents the origins, and the surprising extent of jew hatred in the jihadi mind set.
It is clear, well written and not too long. In order to craft effective stratigy, policy makers should read this book. If jihadi jew hatred is not squarly addressed, the struggle will not end.

This is an extremely important book. Written by a German political scientist and former senior Green Party advisor, a leftist who was shunned by fellow leftists because he made rather uncomfortable historical, political and ideological associations of modern islamists and nazis.
These are important facts that are continually ignored in the MSM.
It is well-written, well-researched and is invaluable to an understanding of the true nature of the islamist threat.

This is a dreadful and shallow study of Islamic antisemitism, which Kuntzel falsely claims to have stemmed from Nazism.
Nothing could be further from the truth.
Rather, as Dr. Andrew Bostom shows in his forthcoming Legacy of Islamic Antisemitism: From Sacred Texts to Solemn History, Islam's sacred texts themselves are the font from which Islamic antisemitism springs, and this is further demonstrated by historical accounts, from the time of Mohammed down through the ages. Indeed, as Bostom shows by providing the very first English translation of Dr. Muhammad Sayyid Tantawi's Ph.D. thesis--Banu Isra'il fi al-Qur'an wa al-Sunna [The Children of Israel in the Qur'an and the Sunna]--Islamic sacred texts replete with hatred of the Jewish people. Furthermore, contemporary "moderate" Islamic scholars like Al Azhar director Tantawi have made a career out disseminating these classical Islamic views.
As Bostom also pointed out in a recent review of this book, Kuntzel makes a travesty of history in his ridiculous claim that Hassan al-Banna's Muslim Brotherhood, founded in 1928 in Egypt, innovated the "concept of jihad as holy war, which significantly differed from other contemporary doctrines and, associated with that, the passionately pursued goal of dying a martyr's death in the war with the unbeliever." What complete nonsense.
The Qur'an itself mentions jihad 40 times in many grammatical forms, according to seminal Arabic lexicographer Edward William Lane, and with only four exceptions (in Suras 61:09, 16:40, 24:53 and 35:42), the other 36 usages are variations holy war. As Lane taught us in Arabic English Lexicon, "Jahida in the Qur'an and in subsequent Islamic understanding to both Muslim luminaries, from the greatest jurists and scholars of classical Islam (including Abu Yusuf, Averroes, Ibn Khaldun, and Al Ghazzali, to common people, meant and means 'he fought, warred or waged war against unbelievers and the like'," (6 vols, London 1865, p.472).
Kuntzel's book contains what Bostom describes as a "yawning gap of omissions (and significant self-contradictions)" and more disturbingly includes frequent "selective citation and excerpting," as for example his "redacted discusion of Albert Speer's memoirs," omitting Hitler's "effusive praise for Islam, including the Nazi leader's resentment" that Islam did not conquer and Islamize Germany during its 8th through 11th century jihadist campaigns in Europe--and Kuntzel's misrepresentations of Sheikh Tantawi's above cited 700 pp. Ph.D. thesis--segments of which I've read in English--in which Tantawi repeatedly lauds the hatred of Jews extant throughout the Qur'an and Sunna.
According to my understanding, Kuntzel was before 1991 a West German leader of the Kommunistischer Bund--a subversive group funded by East Germany--which is documented by Germany's Lexicon Freenet entry on the subject.
Anyone considering this author or book educated on the subject of Islamic antisemitism should be sure to read Bostom's forthcoming work, as well as his previous The Legacy of Jihad: Islamic Holy War and the Fate of Non-muslims.
There's nothing new about Islamic antisemitism. It's much much older than Nazism, which is exactly why Hitler and Albert Speer so loved Islam, and many Nazis converted and became as devout as Tantawi.
If you read this book, give it the weight of one tenth of a grain of salt, if that. Better yet, don't waste your time on this uneducated and dangerously misleading drivel.

This book begins by challenging us to examine the roots of Islamism and its anti-semitism. Most have denied that anti-semitism exists in Islam. But the truth is quite startling. The origins of Islam were full of anti-semitic tractates comparing Jews to dogs and encouring the extermination of the Jewish tribes of Arabia. But then a long lull set in. However with the fall of the Ottoman empire Islamism began blaming 'closet Jews' for creating a secular Turkey and Ataturk was seen as a descendant of Jews who converted to Islam.
In Hitler's Germany the dissemination continued with Mien Kampf translated to Arabic and Nazi propoganda in the Muslim world encouraging Islam to wage 'holy war' against England and Zionism. The Mufti of Jerusalem, Hajj Amin al Husayni, was a collaborator of Hitler and helped raise SS divisions in Muslim Bosnia and Albania. Some of these men also fought against Israel in 1948. But Muslim anti-semitism grew from their as former Nazis found refuge in Syria and Cairo. In BAghdad in 1941 the Arab nationalists had become enthralled with Nazism and the Ba'ath party was based on Nazi ideology.
Later Islamism became entranced with Nazism because it could use this ideology against Israel. Hamas leaders read the Protocols of the Elders of Zionism and while they referred to Israel in the press as a 'nazi state' they also denied the Holocaust.
A fascinating book that deserves to be widely read. The author is a German scholar who has finally connected the dots.
