Originally Answered: Why did Hitler admire Islam if it is a Semitic religion?
He saw it as a fierce warrior religion. Fascism celebrates military action to strengthen and expand the state, and he felt Islam shared those values. By contrast, he saw Christianity as weak because it had a “turn the other cheek” ethic, while Jews were… Jews.
He not only admired Islam, but maintained an alliance with the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem, and had a Muslim SS unit fighting alongside his Nazis.
(Please do not attempt to argue with me about what Islam really is. The question was about what Hitler thought.)

HITLER HAD GREAT ADMIRATION FOR MUHAMMAD AND ISLAM.
Hitler had remarked that “the only Prophet I respect is Prophet Muhammad and the only religion I admire is Islam”. (Ref: Mein Kampf)
In fact Hitler’s holocaust of the European Jews was inspired by the holocaust of Arabian Jews by Muhammad.
After the war, Eva Braun’s sister, Ilse, remembered his frequent discussions on the topic, repeatedly comparing Islam with Christianity in order to devalue the latter. In contrast to Islam, which he saw as a strong and practical faith, he described Christianity as a soft, artificial, weak religion of suffering. Islam was a religion of the here and now, Hitler told his entourage, while Christianity was a religion of a kingdom yet to come — one that was deeply unattractive, compared to the paradise promised by Islam.
