In a blow to Nazi gourmands the world over, authorities in Iraqi Kurdistan, stung by international publicity, have closed the popular Hitler Restaurant until the owner changes its name. But according to Rebar Mohammed, the owner of the beloved eatery, this represented a swift and abrupt turnabout from how those authorities had reacted to the restaurant before the publicity hit: “Even when I started the paperwork seven months ago to register my restaurant’s name, I did not receive any negative reactions from the government or security forces. It was quite normal.”
Normal indeed, in Muslim countries. The popularity of the Hitler Restaurant was telling. Naming a restaurant after figure who is beloved among the eatery’s potential customers was, in the Iraq Kurdish city of Duhok, a canny move. This is because, thanks to Islam’s deeply rooted antisemitism, Hitler is indeed a popular individual in many Muslim countries.
There have been numerous illustrations of this popularity in recent years. In May, the President of the British Pakistani Youth Council praised Adolf Hitler for killing Jews. Last February, an Egyptian researcher declared: “We should erect a statue of Hitler for what he did to the Jews.” In Paris in July 2018, a Muslim screaming “Allahu akbar, long live Hitler, death to Jews” assaulted a Jewish man. In 2017, a UK: Muslim migrant paraded a “Hitler You Were Right” sign in Britain. In 2016, an Egyptian Muslim “human rights activist” said that Hitler was a “great man” who “exposed truth about Jews.”

And so on and on. RT reported in November 2017 that “visitors at a visual effects museum in Indonesia can pose for a snap with a wax Adolf Hitler, against a banner depicting the Auschwitz death camp.” Nothing to be concerned about: this ghastly display, RT tells us, was “seen as ‘fun’ by the museum.”
The wax Führer stood in front of “a wall-sized photo of the entrance to the Auschwitz-Birkenau concentration camp with the infamous inscription ‘Arbeit macht freit’ (Work sets you free).” The “moderate” Indonesians loved it: “the Hitler figure is ‘one of the favorite for our visitors to take selfies with,’ said a marketing officer in the museum who goes by the name of Warli.” Those who think this grotesque and offensive should relax: “Most of our visitors are having fun because they know this is just an entertainment museum.”
Hitler and Auschwitz. That’s entertainment, at least in Indonesia.
Where did this love for Hitler and hatred for Jews come from? The answer is clear, albeit as unpopular in the West as the Hitler Restaurant was popular in Duhok: both come from the Qur’an’s teachings about Jews. The Muslim holy book depicts the Jews as inveterately evil and bent on destroying the well-being of the Muslims. They are the strongest of all people in enmity toward the Muslims (5:82); they fabricate things and falsely ascribe them to Allah (2:79; 3:75, 3:181); they claim that Allah’s power is limited (5:64); they love to listen to lies (5:41); they disobey Allah and never observe his commands (5:13). They are disputing and quarreling (2:247); hiding the truth and misleading people (3:78); staging rebellion against the prophets and rejecting their guidance (2:55); being hypocritical (2:14, 2:44); giving preference to their own interests over the teachings of Muhammad (2:87); wishing evil for people and trying to mislead them (2:109); feeling pain when others are happy or fortunate (3:120); being arrogant about their being Allah’s beloved people (5:18); devouring people’s wealth by subterfuge (4:161); slandering the true religion and being cursed by Allah (4:46); killing the prophets (2:61); being merciless and heartless (2:74); never keeping their promises or fulfilling their words (2:100); being unrestrained in committing sins (5:79); being cowardly (59:13-14); being miserly (4:53); being transformed into apes and pigs for breaking the Sabbath (2:63-65; 5:59-60; 7:166); and more. They are under Allah’s curse (9:30), and Muslims should wage war against them and subjugate them under Islamic hegemony (9:29).
It is no wonder that the Hitler Restaurant was popular. It’s too bad that Rashida Tlaib and Ilhan Omar couldn’t drop by before it was closed. It’s surprising that Rebar Mohammed didn’t arrange this before the place was shut down – it would have been an easy way to pick up a couple of five-star reviews on Yelp.

Unfortunately, I bought into that line of thinking but this is a clear indication we have been intentionally misled once again.

Even Trump tries to push that CIA driven bullshiit.
Of course it doesn’t help when Chelsea Clinton’s BFF, Ivanka, sells it to her dad for them.

Ivanka & Chelsea are NOT BFF’s.
They were friends a long while ago because their husbands were friends. They stopped talking & being friends after Trump decided to run for President.
Ivanka even spoke out about them not talking or being friends anymore awhile back.

Fair enough… it still doesn’t change the fact that she is a Left leaning lunatic that has even gone so far in that regard as to praise Cory Booker.
She is a globalist… this is not news.

Cannibalism is allowed in Islam. Videos at the link have been eliminated.
All that is life from the video is quotes from it.
THE PROMOTION OF HUMAN SACRIFICE AND CANNIBALISM IN EGYPT
Unveiling the horrifying edicts that come from the highest authority of Islamic jurisprudence.
March 10, 2013
Theodore and Walid Shoebat
…
Today, Al-Azhar is a part of the Egyptian government and has the power to enact edicts as mandated by the new constitution. Under article 4, it states:
“The noble Azhar is an independent Islamic institution of higher learning. It handles all its affairs without outside interference. It leads the call to Islam and assumes responsibility for religious studies and the Arabic language in Egypt and the world. The Azhar’s Body of Senior Scholars is to be consulted in matters pertaining to Islamic law (sharia).”
While cannibalism is prohibited in Islam, exceptions do exist for apostates, adulterers and enemy combatants. The difficulty for some moderate scholars is that such an edict comes from the highest authority of Islamic jurisprudence. Abu ʿAbdullah Muhammad ibn Idris al-Shafi‘i, the founder of the major Shafie school of Sunni Islamic thought, writes:
“One may eat the flesh of a human body. It is not allowed to kill a Muslim nor a free non-Muslim under Muslim rule (because he is useful for the society), nor a prisoner because he belongs to other Muslims. But you may kill an enemy fighter or an adulterer and eat his body.” [3]
Such edicts are even being disseminated by many Muslim clerics in Egypt. Prominent Sheikh Muhammad Hussein Yaqub recently made a speech encouraging the cannibalization of Jewish flesh:
“Our hatred, animosity, and rage toward the Jews grow. Our hatred of the Jews grows when we see them destroying our brothers. Rage boils within us. If only we could strangle the criminal Jews… If only we could strangle the Jews with our bare hands, and bite their heads off with our teeth, not with weapons.”
Sheikh Safwat Hegazy has repeated a similar mantra when it comes to the desire to cannibalize Jews:
“If our rulers let us, we would catch you [Jews] in the street, and we would devour you with our teeth.”

50% of Iraqi’s still marry their first cousin by arrangement. The middle east is what happens when people inbreed for a couple thousand years.Considering how much they like Hitler- maybe they won’t have a problem being “cleansed” themselves.

One Historical often overlooked is when the Arabs boast about expelling the Crusaders from the Holy Land they are referring not to Arabs but to Suleiman who was the Kurdish ruler of the Middle East. Suleiman had crushed the Arabs and the Kurds ruled until defeated by the Turks 200 years later. The Kurds are ethnically European very similar to Armenians and Georgians. There are Christian Kurds.
