Ideja da je japanski militarizam na neki način slijedio iz šintoističkog
koncepta Cara kao božanstva je posve naivna i pogrešna. Japanski
militarizam je slijedio iz japanskog doslovnog kopiranja "duha vremena"
sa Zapada - naime njihov militarizam se savršeno podudarao s njemačkim,
talijanskim, engleskim itd., naime to je naprosto bilo vrijeme takvih
pokreta, baziranih na konceptu Vođe, a shintoizam tu nije bio pokretačka
sila nego je u tu svrhu instrumentaliziran.

Sasvim je druga stvar s islamom, recimo.
