13th Waffen SS “Handschar” Division
ASSALAMUALAIKUM,
Today, when i look into a forum section of a website, i came across a discussion with the same title as the title of this posting… It has WW2 word on it and sounds interesting. Quickly, i were prompted to open the discussion board and for a moment i was a little bit of surprised as the topic discussed was about a division of Nazi army composed of mainly moslem that was fighting against the Russians at Balkan frontline.
What? The moslem men were fighting for Nazi…Beside that i also found out that the then grand mufti of Jerusalem, Haji Amin Al-Husseini was the person responsible for the recruitment …hurm, there is something weird here.
As a muslim i oppose any form of violence…but after looking at the facts laid in the discussion board my stance to tremble and started to wander if there was any connection between the moslem and the Nazi.
I began to key in keywords that has connection with the division and start looking for information…After a few search and reading I found out that there is indeed a relation between moslem and the nazi… But, not in term of helping the nazi to wipe out people. Furthermore, the division had nothing to do with the jewish extermination… However, Haji Amin Al-Husseini did in fact recruit moslem men to join the newly formed division…however, he had to resort to this alternative. The main reason is because during that time both moslem and Nazi had the same enemy, the British.
After World War 1, under the British mandate orchestrated by the zionist lobbyist, Jews were able to occupy some part of the Palestine. So, the mufti thought that by forming a division of moslem army at that time he could prevent the jewish population, which started to increasing, from proliferate and occupy the whole middle east. But at the time, the Ottoman empire had long been dissolved. So, the mufti chose the other way to equip a soon-to-be-formed divison by performing a strategic partnership with a resourceful and strong army which turn out to be the Nazi.
There are some questions rise from this matter.
1. Can moslem formed an alliance with the Nazi to fight against the zionist?
2. Isn’t the formation of this moslem-based division contradicts the anti-semitism view of the Nazi?
3. What is exactly the objective of the formation of this division?
Hurm…suddenly i became inspired and decided to make a reserach on this matter…So, hopefully i could finish by next week and resolve all the question.
