In an e-book called Satanic Voices [Ancient and Modern] by David Musa Pidcock (1992, but published on internet in 2002) is a chapter about Napoleon which claims that Napoleon was a Muslim convert (revert).
I’ve never heard or read that before. I haven’t finished this e-book yet, but many other chapters contain information about various subjects which I’ve read elsewhere and/or seen in documentaries, though I’m not sure what to think about certain conclusions. It’s very interesting so far (I reached page 60). Have you ever heard or read that Napoleon became Muslim?
This is the part about Napoleon being a Muslim:
**Napoleons ban on usury, naturally went down like a lead baloon with the Notables, namely the Rothschilds, who were already working against him, following his conversion to Islam in 1798. In Bonaparte et l’Islam, pages 105-125, Napoleon shows his deep knowledge and understanding of the subject. “Moses” he said, "has revealed the existence of God to his nation, Jesus Christ to the Roman world, Muhammad to the old continent… Arabia was idolatrous when, six centuries after Jesus, Muhammad (re)introduced the worship of the God of Abraham, of Ishmael, of Moses, and of Jesus Christ. The Arians and some other sects had disturbed the tranquillity of the East by agitating the question of the nature of The Father the Son and the Holy Ghost.. Muhammad declared that there was none but **one God, who had no father, no son, and that the trinity imported the idea of idolatry…"
(…)
**“I hope that the time is not far off when I shall be able to unite all the wise and educated men of all countries and establish a uniform regime based on the principles of the Quran which alone are true and which alone can lead men to happiness… Christianity preaches only servitude and dependence…” **
The official French Newspaper of its day, Le Moniteur, carried the accounts of his conversion to Islam in 1798, and mentions his new Muslim name which was Aly Napoleon Bonaparte.. He commends the conversion of General Jaques Menou, who became known as General Abdullah-Jaques Menou, who later married an Egyptian lady, Sitti Zoubeida, who was descended from the line of the Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him. Few people are aware of this aspect to the Battle of Waterloo, because as we pointed out at the beginning, the history was written by the victors. (page 38)
I found a few references to this on some YouTube videos, but they’re in French. Here is one, the maker tells us where exactly he got his information from and explains that since Napoleon, long after he had lost power and no longer ruled Egypt, still was interested in Islam, means that having to rule Muslims wasn’t his only reason to be interested in Islam:
And yet, the idea of a Muslim Napoleon Bonaparte seems strange to me. I’m not sure what to think about that! A fascinating possibility though.
