"My Jihad" Contest

Actually, the New York Times article is about a Koran memorization contest but imagine if this were 1938 and the Times was reporting on a contest to impress the Fuehrer with memorization of Mein Kampf (i.e. My Jihad.) Would the article report with wonderment that:

The scene inside the competition hall is reminiscent of classic American spelling bees. … This is the Olympics of Mein Kampf reading … To Nazis, the Mein Kampf is the word of the Fueher … The best reciters are legendary, their tapes sold across the Nazi world. … the young men exhibited a camaraderie built around faith … Ahmed Khorshid, the American, wants to be a basketball player …

I replaced Islamic words with their 1930 counterparts. The Koran, Islam's war propaganda, isn't hard to understand. And one can observe the implications daily.

The New York Times probably was writing similar articles about Germans and Mein Kampf. We know they loved the Soviets.
