Fighting for Germany/Austria-Hungary would still fulfill the jihad the Ottoman Caliph declared on the British Empire.
<sarcasm>These jihads, they NEVER succeed, do they? </sarcasm>

Josephus. Tacitus. Suetonius. Pliny. The Talmud. Nonbiblical Christian texts. See here.
Damn right, and...Islam is a religion of peace...so, no fit there with killing Jews.
Are they all talking about the same person? There's plenty of written evidence that Robin Hood existed.

Bronze age folklore.
Who is this 'Chrestus' guy, anyway?
However, if Hitler were to convert to Islam at some point in his early life (he really couldn't do it after becoming Fuhrer) he would never have been in the position to take over Germany. This is basically changing him so much that he's unrecognizable to us, and we're basically postulating an idea that Hitler is irrelevant.
Now if someone like Himmler converted to Islam while in the hierarchy of the Nazi Party that would be something...
Himmler already had his strange neopagan thing, Islamic Himmler would find Hitler's thoughts on Islam reassuring, but otherwise the religious views would still be considered fringe.
It's an uncontroversial truth a historic figure named Jesus was running around 1st Century Palestine
And lots of people, Mohammed and Hitler included, have used him confirm their irrational beliefs.
Isa bin Mariam is an Islamic prophet, too - just not the important one.

Same for Ayn Rand, Karl Marx, and Thomas Jefferson.
Except mass murder, and ethnic violence, which are still strangely popular.
A Muslim Hitler cannot win an election or build a coalition. Even converting before 1943 would highly compromise him. Roman Catholics were able to nix the killing of Germany's imbeciles. So, Muslim Hitler ain't going to work, even in a totalitarian country the Catholics had enough power to oppose the Nazis in OTL.An openly Muslim Hitler would definitely be the odd man out in Austrian or German politics. If he manages to attract political followers, they would be rather different followers than IOTL, and there most likely would be a lot less of them.

I was going by memory, so same difference.Yes, certainly.
Actually key Lutheran bishops and pastors publicly protested first, and were no less opposed to the policy than the Catholic clergy. Naturally, Lutherans, too, would find it very weird to vote for a German party led by an avowed Muslim.
