Did American Muslims align with Hitler?

Answer 1

Answer 1

Of course not. They never allied with Hitler. Even no logic or sense to think of that. Hitler was a very religious Christian and was a bad curse for Jews. It makes sense that Hitler aligns with Christians but never with Muslims in America or anywhere else. Don't mix the claims of Islamophobia with Hitler phobia.

I also wonder about the issues in Answer 2 below. What is the relation between American Muslims and Muslims in the Arab World. Many Muslims in the Arab World supported the German against the British because the British were occupying the Arab countries (including Egypt, Palestine, Iraq, ...). Not only that but they supported the Jews in Palestine to get control of the country and commit massacres on the Palestinians to force them to leave their villages and lands. This has no connection with the American Muslims. What is the relation between American Muslims and the Grand Mufti Haj Amin al-Husseini - Iraq and Palestine, Saïd Mohammedi - Algeria, Rashid Ali al-Gaylani - Iraq, and al-Arsuzi - the founder of the Ba'ath Political Parties. The Arabs (Muslims and non Muslims) supported the Germans (not as Nazis) to help the Arabs in ending the British occupation of their lands. They never felt proud; as claimed above; of being considered as Nazis. Islam religion is always against racism and is against discrimination.

Answer 2

The American Muslim community in World War II was incredibly small and was not interested in staking any strong position on American foreign policy. Non-European ethnic groups (from which American Muslims predominantly came) were not seen as having legitimate "American-ness" in this period in the way that Europeans did. As a result, American Muslims did not make any assertions for or contrary to the general American line. This is in stark contrast to the Irish and German Americans who actively supported the Nazi Regime and were greatly dismayed by America's entry into the war on the Allied Side.

However, Answer 1 is profoundly incorrect when it asserts that Hitler did not have Muslim allies. Hitler was very popular in the Arab World and many leading figures in the Arab World during World War II proudly considered themselves Nazis (such as Grand Mufti Haj Amin al-Husseini - Iraq and Palestine, Saïd Mohammedi - Algeria, Rashid Ali al-Gaylani - Iraq, and al-Arsuzi - the founder of the Ba'ath Political Parties). There were high-level meetings and interactions between the SS and Muslim Arabs in the Middle East and there were three whole brigades of the Wehrmacht made of Arabs who freely joined with the Germans. Additionally, Husseini actively assisted Hitler in putting together Bosniak Muslim divisions of the SS (Handschar), recruiting still other Muslims to Hitler's defense.
