THE CHARACTER OF TYRANTS.

Similarities between Hitler, Muhammad and Stalin

By Ahmed Simon

Did you know the similarities between Hitler, Muhammad and Stalin?

But first, before we go into the similarities, let me take you through life, to show you where things, in all probabilities, could have gone wrong in human behavior.

Human beings are the only ‘species’, which are not born with life instincts and are nurtured into what they become in adulthood. A calf, soon after birth, in just a matter of minutes, starts running around its mother and instinctly knows where to suckle for its milk, and is equipped to flee in the face of danger. A human toddler is not equipped with such capabilities and knows only to wail and scream leaving the adults to guess what is wrong or sought after. A cub, when its adults disappear hunting, will instinctly know when to run and hide, in the face of approaching danger. A human child is totally dependant, on the mercy of other humans, at this stage in its life. A human is almost entirely influenced/dependant on his environment, almost entirely on the parents. So, physical and emotional growth of all newborn humans, also largely depend on the parents. Children use their parents as roll-models. The Bible aptly emphasizes all this, in its various books.

We know, much of how human adults behave, as the result of our guidance and discipline in our nurturing years by our parents. Parents also largely influence the emotional development of a child with love and care. If the first ten years of a child’s life is nurtured well and is healthy, the chances are excellent for a successful adolescent life as a teenager.

But in these first two decades of life, until around 18 years of life, many emotional aspects can change the situation drastically and send the child into an unexpected tailspin into a conflicting direction. A sudden demise of a parent is an example. The loss of a parent is traumatic to any child/teenager. To a child/teenager this is never comprehensible and fully understood. At times, professional help is sought to reduce the trauma and help in the continued emotional development. The missed nurturing could never be replaced in its entirety at a later stage in life. As the phrase, “Time and tide will wait for no man” has a deep and enduring meaning here.

All said and done, research records/facts also show that a wayward person can generally, be traced back to his parents. Research also shows that most confirmed criminals come from broken homes. Thus, we can assume that nurturing in our first two decades is paramount to an adult’s later life. Nurturing sets the direction, for the rest of our lives. But, admitted, there are always exceptions to the rule, as other forces can play a part to offset this balancing rule.

Now for the character in the lives of Hitler, Muhammad and Stalin: -

1. All their fathers died when they were young (Muhammad’s father died before his birth – poor fellow. He never got to see his father).
2. All their mothers died early. (Muhammad’s mother died the earliest, when he was only 4 years old. Here again Muhammad seems to have lost the most among the three. Later, his grandfather who adopted him died and then again his uncle who adopted him also died, adding even more misery to little Muhammad. Recap - Father, then mother, then grandfather, then uncle – one could not have been so unfortunate or cursed. Perhaps, it is because he had no chance of receiving love that he could not give true love and compassion).
3. All three had a very miserable childhood.
4. All three had a very miserable youth. (Stalin and Hitler had abusive fathers who also abused their mothers. I have no record of Muhammad’s father’s behavior towards his mother, but it is highly likely that he was abusive with her too, given the Arabic tradition of beating the crap out of their wives and Sura 4:34 not just to beat their wives, but to scourge – whip them as camels/animals.)
5. All three came from not well-to-do families. (Muhammad worked for his rich elderly first wife [who was previously widowed) and only after she died, did he inherit all her wealth and become rich and powerful – a calculated move?).
6. All three did not have a wholesome good education (Here again, Muhammad was the worst of the lot, because he was never even educated and could not read or write – a complete illiterate).
7. All three struggled in life through youth.
8. All three dabbled with religion some time in their lives
9. All three were rejected in religion during their lifetime.
10. All three were abusive to women.
11. All three were arrogant and never accepted the truth.
12. All three never admitted to their wrong/mistakes, even when clear evidence was staring at their faces.
13. All three thought of women as lacking in intelligence.
14. All three had ridiculous and absurd relationships with women.
15. All three were not compassionate with Children.
16. All three contemplated suicide, at least once.
17. All three used their barbaric and savage side in life, whenever it suited them.
18. All three were selfish, ruthless and illogical.
19. All three used many other men to carry out their evil deeds.
20. All three lied through their noses.
21. All three were very extraordinarily vicious-minded.
22. All three were very cunning and used force as a means to achieve what they wanted.
23. All three were untrustworthy. They broke the very peace agreements they signed. (It goes to show that you cannot believe ill-nurtured people, no matter what they say or do. Their word could be as elastic as they want it to be. In other words, they were all without principles.)
24. All three had no respect, for human lives or had humane values.
25. All three were very vengeful, even till the end of their lives.
26. All three were never remorseful even till the end.
27. All three have no history of great compassion.
28. All three were self-centred and egotistic.
29. All three commanded huge forces of men.
30. All three abused their powers and sent fear around them.
31. All three stole from others.
32. All three generally, had no human conscience.
33. All three had sexual affairs with women, who were not married to them (adulterers - here too, Muhammad comes out top among the three).
34. All three unashamedly enjoyed/benefited from the labour of others.
35. All three were always fearful and suspicious of those close to them and even towards their own supporters and associates.
36. All three of them borrowed from past history, to justify their actions.
37. All three rose up in life through cruel and inhumane ways.
38. All three had become tyrants when in power and had ‘others’ human blood in their hands’.
39. All three had those close to them, killed.
40. All three were racists in the very extreme.
41. All three hated Jews and had them killed in large numbers.
42. All three sent their countries into turmoil and war.
43. All three had many innocent men, women and children killed.
44. All three claimed that they were destined for greatness, but actually ended up being notorious for their misdeeds.
45. All three died miserable and painful deaths. (Here too Muhammad comes up ‘outstanding’ to have suffered his last excruciating painful existence for 2 ½ years. The other two were quick deaths, but not without mental torture in their last days of lives. Out of the three, only Stalin has a grave in his name.)
46. All three life histories turn one’s stomach with revulsion and are sickening to any civilised human being, to even imagine their inhuman lives.
47. All three died remembering women. (A. Muhammad was poisoned to death by a woman and died on the lap of his wife, Aisha. B. Hitler and Stalin died with photographs of their mothers in their wallets.) Imagine the irony of it all.
48. All three ended their lives unexpectedly. (Did God intervene to put an end to them, from committing further crimes against humanity?)
49. All three are of the worst example of a human being, who ever walked this earth.
50. All three are remembered forever, for their despicable, dastardly, inhuman, barbaric, savage and cruel misdeeds.

From these facts, one can see the similarities in the characters and behaviors, of the three, namely Hitler, Muhammad and Stalin. All three had almost non-existent parental nurturing. All three were ABSOLUTE EVIL. The similarities among them are a stark paradox to their claims.

History will forever keep warning the world of such barbaric and inhuman savages, who ever walked this earth. History will also remind this civilised world of the lessons learnt from the past, so that history will not repeat itself.
