Making Sense with Sam Harris

NOTE

Jihadism vs Nazism

Jihadism combines Nazism with an anticipation of paradise, religious fanaticism, and readiness for martyrdom, even of their own children. While there are differences between Nazism and Jihadism, the latter makes Nazis seem relatively benign. Nazism was anchored in racist mysticism and worship of a personality, unlike Jihadism which uses women and children as human shields. A belief system that induces religious ecstasy in guards overseeing atrocities like Auschwitz would be even worse than Nazism, particularly if it was deeply ingrained in the majority of the population's worldview, making it harder to eradicate.
