In our timeline, while Hitler remained irreligious for most of his adult life, he did have a soft spot for one religion: Islam. In his eyes, while Christianity was a religion of slaves, Islam was a religion of warriors. To him, it was the religion that most closely meshed with his worldview. He met with Arab leaders such as Grand Mufti of Jerusalem Amin al-Husseini and even Khalid al-Hud al-Gargani, special envoy to Saudi Arabian king Ibn Saud.

As a result of his relationship with the Arab world, he began to believe that Islam was the perfect alternative as a religion to Christianity for Europeans, even believing that Europe would've been better off had the Muslims won the Battle of Tours.

So, what if after abandoning Christianity in his early adulthood, Hitler converted to Islam and based his political ideology not just on the superiority of the German race and hatred of the Jews, but on the superiority of Islam as a religion?
