In the past various European dictators have had a “fling” with islam. Napoleon claimed he wanted his troops in Egypt to become moslems. They balked at circumcision.
Hitler had a thing for moslems and several moslem nations and Iran (formerly Persia) and Iraq both sided with him, along with various moslem groups still in the Balkans. Iraq, during WWII, even had bombers take off from there to bomb the British in Jerusalem.
Hitler gained notoriety as being power hungry without caring about the source of the power.
Islam may seem like a world-beater at first, but the problem with it, is that it doesn’t construct anything good in the wake of beating the world. It leaves people in abject spiritual slavery.
It was not for naught of symbolic sense that God arranged for Jesus to be a carpenter. This Man is a Builder.
