This is a little told story that deserves far more attention. This booklet serves to assist in an understanding of the Muslim world today against the background of the resistance against European colonialism before and during World War II. Why did so many Muslims from different countries volunteer for service in Hitler’s Waffen SS? What motivated them to stand side by side with Germany? Ataullah Bogdan Kopanski explains this historical background in great detail in what was originally intended to be an article for publication in a magazine ... of how Hitler’s Germany welcomed the leaders of Arab countries under British and other colonial rule and of how many Muslim volunteers found a common cause in battle alongside German soldiers.The author first wrote this for publication in the Barnes Review in the United States in 2003. Prof Dr Ataullah Bogdan Kopanski is also the author of ‘Terrorism in History’, an unpublished paper at a one-day Seminar on Terrorism on 15 November 2001, organised by the International Islamic University, Malaysia. He regularly lectures at international Islamic conferences around the world.
We would do well to read this respected academic and take note of what he has to say.
