    William Shakespeare was the greatest English language writer the world has ever produced. He was not a political person and took no political position on Muslims or anything else. And he died well over a hundred years before Hitler was born.

    Huh? Hitler was not born until.over 400+years after Shakespeare's death. Shakespearean s o said nothing about Muslims.

    wtf first off muslims in England in the 15 and 1600s would have been an extreme minority since it was only legal to be Anglican or part of the church of England at the time Shakespeare was not a protestant so his religious belifs were kept low he was catholic catholics were tourtures in England at the time as well as muslims as for hitler dude are you retarded that was 300-400 years later

    On the contrary Captain William Shakespear was a great friend of the Arabs, but he was killed before he had a chance to encounter Adolf Hitler.

    Is that "Shakespeare" as in one of the "Shakespeare Sisters", or do you mean the Shakespeare who builds boats in Tewkesbury, UK?!

  • 5 years ago

    Because he was a genius of his time, and a revolutionary writer.

    I sense a small plothole in your reasoning.....being as Shakespeare was alive hundreds of years previous to Hitler....

    Please do enlighten us, oh mighty one.

    Will you read a few history books instead of believing what you read on the Internet?
