J. Evola's views on ancient Rome are based on a kind of knowledge of the Roman
world and of the Latin language which most current European 'traditionalists',
'nationalists', 'Supremacists', 'Eurocentrists', 'Fascists', and the like, would
be well advised to gain before venturing to question them 'omnis', and, as a
result, Kerenyi's, Schelling's, Vico's, Altheim's, Piganiol's, de Coulanges',
etc. (Did you miss the bibliography in 'Revolt against the Modern World' ?),
especially when such questioning is not substantiated in any way.
The limitations of J. Evola's vision of Islam have already been discussed and
adequately accounted for at

Visigoths could have chosen Islam in Spain … they did not. The Normans could
have chosen Islam in Sicily … they did not. They took over the Arab castles in
Salemi and Palermo and transformed them into something else; visit the chapel in
Palermo, for example. Are we to take you seriously that the Normans, who
recreated the Holy Roman Empire from that base, lacked manly instincts? It is
more likely that Nietzsche had no idea what they are. He was a scribbler, a beta
male, a “flop with chicks”; apparently he indulged in a vivid fantasy life.
What he imagines hardly resembles Londonistan or the banlieues of Paris.

resisted vigorously.

> Christianity destroyed for us the whole harvest of ancient civilization, and
later it also destroyed for us the whole harvest of Mohammedan
civilization. The wonderful culture of the Moors in Spain, which was
fundamentally nearer to us and appealed more to our senses and tastes than that
of Rome and Greece, was trampled down ("I do not say by what sort of
feet") Why? Because it had to thank noble and manly instincts for its
origin"because it said yes to life, even to the rare and refined
luxuriousness of Moorish life!… The crusaders later made war on
something before which it would have been more fitting for them to have
grovelled in the dust"a civilization beside which even that of our nineteenth
century seems very poor and very “senile.”"What they wanted, of course,
was booty: the orient was rich…. Let us put aside our prejudices! The
crusades were a higher form of piracy, nothing more! The German nobility, which
is
> fundamentally a Viking nobility, was in its element there: the church knew
only too well how the German nobility was to be won…. The German noble,
always the “Swiss guard” of the church, always in the service of every bad
instinct of the church"but well paid…. Consider the fact that it is
precisely the aid of German swords and German blood and valour that has enabled
the church to carry through its war to the death upon everything noble on
earth! At this point a host of painful questions suggest themselves. The German
nobility stands outside the history of the higher civilization: the reason is
obvious…. Christianity, alcohol"the two great means of corruption….
Intrinsically there should be no more choice between Islam and Christianity
than there is between an Arab and a Jew. The decision is already reached;
nobody remains at liberty to choose here. Either a man is a Chandala or he is
not…. “War to the knife with Rome!
> Peace and friendship with Islam!”: this was the feeling, this was the act,
of that great free spirit, that genius among German emperors, Frederick II.
What! must a German first be a genius, a free spirit, before he can feel
decently? I can’t make out how a German could ever feel Christian….
