Hitler's Muslim legions: more BBC revisionism
Bataween
Point of No Return
04 August '10
If, like me, you missed the BBC Radio 4 programme Hitler's Muslim Legions, despair not - some kind soul has uploaded it on YouTube.
However, the programme turns out to be another BBC whitewash and revisionist attempt to downplay the Arab-Nazi alliance. Although the BBC assembled the requisite experts on this subject - Norman Stone, a professor of Soviet history, Jonathan Trigg, the author of Hitler's Jihadis, Matthias Kuntzel, a German authority on the Nazi roots of Muslim antisemitism, the programme gives a platform to the disingenuous professor Gilbert Achcar whose mission in life seems to be to downplay the Arabs' Nazi connection and the role of the Mufti of Jerusalem.
To believe the BBC, you would think that the Nazis hastily recruited Muslims during the war because they had run out of genuine Aryans. The truth is that Arabs and Muslims ceased to be viewed as inferiors back in the 1930s. Achcar misleads by inferring that Hitler made an exception of the Mufti and agreed to meet him because 'he didn't look Semitic' with his red hair and blue eyes.
The programme gives the impression that Muslims only joined the Nazis for opportunistic reasons ('starve or join'). It misleadingly lumps together Muslim deserters from the Soviet army with elite SS divisions in the Balkans. According to the Muslim expert Taj Hargey, the Bosnian Muslims only wanted to get their own back on the Serbs and the Croats. They were struggling to survive, and find 'their place in the sun.' ....So that's alright then.
