The following are excerpts from an interview with Egyptian journalist Muhammad Said. This interview was aired by Al-Tanweer TV on April 26, 2005.

A madman or a genius?

Said: There is a well-known saying that history is written by the victors. It's true. Adolf Hitler, whose image has been harmed, and we, and the entire world, continue to his image... To this day, world Zionism inflates Hitler's role in order to exploit the German guilt complex... The exaggerations about Hitler… that he was I don't know what… That he suffered from frustration, from weakness, and so on... They persist in talking about his weak points. Rest assured that if Hitler had won World War II, the picture would have been different. Those who won the war were headed by Churchill in Britain and Stalin in the former USSR. Books about Churchill are now being published in Britain and the US, dealing with many of his weak points, which even surpass those attributed to Hitler. But when? Over fifty years after the end of World War II. The talk about Hitler is exaggerated. True, there were violations of human rights and of entire peoples, but the very much exaggerated. Let me ask you a question: The Jews were hurt by Hitler, and there were crematoria, and a holocaust, and so on... But the gypsies, who are also human beings and belong to the human race – Hitler persecuted them and did worse things to them than to the Jews... But because they don't own the media... They don't have any influence in the banks or in the mass media, and so on.
