İslam ve Naziler

In the most crucial phase of World War II, German troops faced the Allies in Muslim lands. The official Nazi view was that Islam was a powerful potential friend because of common enemies: the British Empire, the Soviet Union, and the Jews.

With his research on three continents, David Motadel shows how German officials tried to position the Third Reich as the protector of Islam. It is a known fact that, as a result of Berlin's policies and propaganda, tens of thousands of Muslims voluntarily joined the Wehrmacht and the SS. But Islam and the Nazis, while explaining the reasons why some Muslims became willing collaborators of the Nazis, World War II. He does not neglect to convey the effects of World War II that continue even today.

"Obedience to the leader, belief in the family and devotion to a holy war. It is wonderfully explained how the Nazis turned Muslims into allies by packaging these common values with an anti-orientalist discourse. A huge contribution to the discussions on Islam and the West."
-Nicholas Stargardt, Oxford University-

"Not only is it the most comprehensive account of Nazi Germany's ties to Islam, it also offers surprising insights into the nature of modern Europe's complex relationship with Muslim communities."
