Will history report that Adolf Hitler & Osama Bin Laden shared any similar characteristics?
How similar are they? Assuming Osama Bin Laden even exists — Osama Bin Laden is motivated by “spiritual purity” — Hitler by “racial purity” — Hitler was democratically elected, Osama Bin Laden is self appointed. Hitler’s movement remained popular for years, and he had major allies in Catholics throughout Europe. Osama, if he exists, only has support from a small minority of Muslims. I don’t see significant similarities.
