Two quick points in reply: a) the Iranian claim sounds like bonkers perhaps
coming from that clown Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. I have encountered absolutely no
historical evidence for the claim that Hitler was a founder of the state of
Israel! However there is some evidence that he had Jewish blood in him! I am
sure that DNA samples from his close relatives, resident in the USA, would
put you out of your misery about Hitler's pedigree!
b) that Hitler was a "PRACTICING" (sic) Catholic is not a discredited
notion whatsoever. Perhaps, you can provide at least ONE weighty or
substantive academic reference to support your mistaken commonsense notion.
Incidentally, your use of, (and code), in using"PRACTICING" in capitals is
incorrect. Practice is the noun and practise is the verb, or doing word. You
definitely used it incorrectly but if I can be of some help on this matter,
you ought to have said PRACTISING Catholic by which the word practising
becomes a qualifying adjective to the noun Catholic. I do not hold this
against you whatsoever as compared to your engineering background, my
engineering knowledge would be close to zilch and my business administration
knowledge would be minimal even though as Head of Department, I successfully
managed a large university department in London.
I am aware that uninformed Americans use "practicing" incorrectly and why
they are often deemed to be bastardising the English language! However, I am
not a grammarian and not a stickler for grammar except when seemingly
corrected by someone who knows even less than I do!

Subject: [Goanet] Hitler was not a Catholic, say Iranians.
http://www.ynetnews.com/articles/0,7340,L-3347309,00.html
With respect to the discussions that flare up on Goanet from time to time
about Hitler's religious affiliation, or lack thereof, I wonder what
Cornel, an ardent proponent of the discredited notion that Hitler was a
PRACTICING Catholic, has to say about this Iranian claim that Hitler was
not only a Jew but a founder of the state of Israel?
