Jeremaid: The foundation of modern racism was laid by Charles

In an article extolling the benefits of Islam and how it will erase
both the Hindu caste system and racism in general, the author expelled
this familiar gem:

The foundation of the modern Racism was actually laid by the
Charles Darwin’s theory of evolution. Some people who have heard
of “the theory of evolution” think that it is only concerned
with the biological field. The theory of evolution, however,
represents more than this. Not merely a biological concept, it is
the underpinning of many philosophies that hold the masses under
their influence. Darwin’s theory had a significant
dimension. Darwin based the development of living beings,
including human beings, on the term “the struggle for survival.”
According to him, there is a fierce struggle, a constant conflict,
going on in nature. In this struggle, the strong always defeat the
weak and thus progress occurs. Darwin maintained that this
“struggle for survival” is also true for human races.

The leaders of Nazism and Fascism were greatly inspired by the
Darwin’s theory of evolution. One of the founders and the leader
of the German Nazi Party, Adolph Hitler, was an ambitious and
aggressive man who based part of his outlook on life on Racism.
