There is a definite link to Nazi ideology Lebenswert. I discussed this recently with Phyllis Chesler. I have written about this on line concerning Christian Ganczarski the Al Qaeda operative and the Djerba Synagogue Bombing. I had access to Ganczarski’s deposition given to German police. My former doctoral student David Van Dyke helped with the translation.

Here is the passage:ÔøΩ
ÔøΩpredictably named — Mohamed. When the baby turns one and a half years old, Ganczarski abruptly uproots the entire family moving back to Germany. The Saudi fairy-tale comes to an end. Repeating the trauma of his fatherÔøΩs move back to Germany, the son’s is fraught with similar difficulties…
At this point in the deposition, Ganczarski waxes philosophical, mentioning that he and his wife had long discussed the fact that they did not wish to raise their children in a non-Muslim country though they are now back in Germany. His choice of words is chilling: Besonders im Hinblick auf die Erziehung der Kinder ist das Leben in einem islamischen Land im islamischen Sinne lebenswerter . [ trans. Especially with respect to the education of children, it is more worthwhile living life in an Islamic country in an Islamic fashion, that is, meaning under Sharia, Islamic law]58
Lebenswert is a Nazi code word implying that there were other lives, which did not merit living such as the life of a Jew. In Nazi Germany the Jews along with the homosexuals, congenitally deformed and mentally retarded were called lebensunwertes Leben , that is, ÔøΩlife unworthy of life.ÔøΩ This was the Nazi code word that justified medical experimentation, eugenic abortion and eventually the death camps. Lebenswert points to the dehumanization of life, which is the exact objective of suicide bombing. Those lives destroyed in a dehumanized way have a counterpoint in Nazi ideology, the practice of Lebensborn , and the stud farms where Aryans procreated. Usama bin Laden and his jihadis have their own Lebensborn called polygamy. Along with Usama’s obsession for breeding ÔøΩ be they Arabian horses or genetically engineered agricultural seeds suitable for the Sudan fit like hand and glove with Nazi ideology. Beliefs drive behavior, most especially paranoid delusional ones which inevitably have to do with sexual hang-ups.
