When Hitler and Muhammed met

The conjunction of traditionnal European jewhatred , of Christian origin, and the latent Muslim anti-Jewish legacy which has its roots in the prophet's frustrations caused by his failure to win over the Jews to his 'revelation' , should not surprise those of the Jews who lived among Muslims, under Muslim rule.
The fact that the Nazis , for their strategic and also ideological aims , used this hatred/despise of the Jew and the historical circumstance of the Arab/Muslim Oumma 's submission to European /Christian democracies , the humiliating decadence of their once proud status, was a devil-given opportunity which the cunning and cynically efficient nazi Propagandastaffel could not and did not pass by. Like always the more liberal side, the democracies , showed no matching resolve and left the ideological stage to the totalitarian , brutal aggressors, first the Nazis and then the Stalinists, who taking over from their defeated enemy just had to step into his boots and continue flattering Muslims under the so-called socialist banner of De-colonization from the Western( i.e. Jew dominated ) democracies.

The rest is history. Arafat and the KGB. Nasser and the Soviets. Etc...etc..
