As the Dutch politician Geert Wilders nears the release of his film expected to present the Koran as analogous to Hitler’s Mein Kampf (”My Struggle”), a point he has already made, it is worth recalling who else has made this comparison. Yes, in recent years, it’s become a quite common theme on the right – for example, Fox News Channel host Bill O’Reilly did so on his show in 2002.

But the really interesting comparison is Winston Churchill’s, though he did it the other way around. It comes on p. 50 of From War to War, the first part of the first volume of his 6-part Second World War. Chapter 4 deals with Adolf Hitler, including a close look at Mein Kampf, which Churchill called “the new Koran of faith and war: turgid, verbose, shapeless, but pregnant with its message.“

What a Liar it’s on page 55! Lucky he had the chapter and I didn’t have to read it again. :)

But it says it right there on page 55. I didn’t commit that to memory on the first trudge through.
