Muslims Nazis?

(Commenter) Mr. Beason's assertion that Muslims had a pact with the Nazis is outrageous. Remember that Muslim Turkey, and Muslims like my grandfather, the Turkish ambassador to France, gave visas that saved the lives of thousands of Jews. Yugoslav Jews who were being hunted by Catholic Utasha were saved by being housed in the homes of Bosnian Muslims and Orthodox Serbs. As for the Mufti's "alliance" with the Axis, recall that the Stern Gang repeatedly attempted to reach some sort of understanding with Mussollini in regards to a new Mediterranean order. History is not so black and white!.
