I’ve own a copy of Mein Kampf. Most people don’t get through it; it’s turgid and confused and hateful.

Mein Kampf is available online in its entirety, here:

If Klinghoffer had really read it with any other purpose than trying to score points on Darwin, he would have noted the following passages:

…it was the hand of the goddess of eternal justice and inexorable retribution which caused Archduke Francis Ferdinand, the most mortal enemy of Austrian-Germanism, to fall by the bullets which he himself had helped to mold….

How thankful I am today to the Providence which sent me to that school! In it I could no longer sabotage the subjects I did not like. It educated me quickly and thoroughly.

…what then seemed to be the harshness of Fate, I praise today as wisdom and Providence. While the Goddess of Suffering took me in her arms, often threatening to crush me, my will to resistance grew, and in the end this will was victorious….

…For when a people is not willing or able to fight for its existence- Providence in its eternal justice has decreed that people’s end.

This is just the first three chapters. He is always going on about Goddess of this, Providence that, Jesus Christ t’other.

Sounds just like Richard Dawkins, doesn’t it?

“Pagan” or maybe “Deist” might be a word you could use to describe what passed in Hitler for religion, but “any stick to beat Jews with” is a better description. But he explicitly references a Creator God who shares his nutty and racist beliefs, and never references Charles Darwin.
