	[[Jeffrey Herf]] reports that in December 1942, von Leers published an article in the intellectual journal ''Die Judenfrage'' entitled "Judaism and Islam as Opposites". As the title indicates, the author's perspective is [[Hegelian]], presenting Judaism and Islam in terms of thesis and antithesis. This essay also reveals the ingratiating National Socialist perspective which von Leers projected on the Islamic past as well as the intensity of his hatred for Judaism and ~~Jewry~~.

If the rest of the world had adopted a similar policy, we would not have a ~~Jewish~~ Question (Judenfrage).... As a religion, [[Islam]] indeed performed an eternal service to the world: it prevented the threatened conquest of Arabia by the ~~Jews~~ and vanquished the horrible teaching of Jehovah by a pure religion, which at that time opened the way to a higher culture for numerous peoples ....

	:''He [Dr. Omar Amin von Leers] is becoming more and more a religious zealot, even to the extent of advocating an expansion of Islam in Europe in order to bring about stronger unity through a common religion.

The results he envisions as the formation of a political bloc against which neither East nor West could prevail.''		:''He [Dr. Omar Amin von Leers] is becoming more and more a religious zealot, even to the extent of advocating an expansion of Islam in Europe in order to bring about stronger unity through a common religion.
