It is interesting that the "religion of peace and tolerance" managed to raise two Muslim Waffen SS divisions in record time...
Not that there is anything unpeaceful about that.
Have a look at David Pryce-Jones' The Closed Circle: An Interpretation of the Arabs. He describes the Arab-Muslim-Nazi connection in great detail. There's even more than you've posted here.
It would be rather refreshing if some of those "diverse elements" would pipe in and do some condemnation.....their silence has been deafening.
Unfortunately, muslims are not that charitable towards you.
A significant number of SS men found refuge in Egypt and Syria after World War II and served the Nasser regime in its fight to destroy Israel. Some even converted to Islam and adopted Islamic names.
Nazism and Islamism have more in common than just a hatred for Jews.
Saudi Arabia - Conversion by a Muslim to another religion is punishable by death. Bibles are illegal.
Yemen - Bans proselytizing by non-Muslims and forbids conversions. The Government does not allow the building of new non-Muslim places of worship
Kuwait - Registration and licensing of religious groups. Members of religions not sanctioned in the Koran may not build places of worship. Prohibits organized religious education for religions other than Islam
Egypt -Islam is the official state religion and primary source of legislation. Accordingly, religious practices that conflict with Islamic law are prohibited. Muslims may face legal problems if they convert to another faith. Requires non-Muslims to obtain what is now a presidential decree to build a place of worship
Algeria - The law prohibits public assembly for purposes of practicing a faith other than Islam. Non-Islamic proselytizing is illegal, and the Government restricts the importation of non-Islamic literature for distribution.

I could go on with more examples.
Interesting. Where did you find that it bashes ALL muslims? Are you getting defensive?
"Arafat's actual name was Abd al-Rahman abd al-Bauf Arafat al-Qud al-Husseini. He shortened it to obscure his kinship with the notorious Nazi and ex-Mufti of Jerusalem, Haj Muhammed Amin al-Husseini." Howard M. Sachar, A HISTORY OF ISRAEL (New York: Knopf, 1976).
The Bet Agron International Center in Jerusalem interviewed Arafat's brother and sister, who described the Mufti as a cousin (family member) with tremendous influence on young Yassir after the Mufti returned from Berlin to Cairo. Yasser Arafat himself keeps his exact lineage and birthplace secret. [No doubt, and I've heard the "Grand Mufti" was his uncle]
Saddam Hussein was raised in the house of his uncle Khayrallah Tulfah, who was a leader in the Mufti's pro-Nazi coup in Iraq in May 1941."
Nazis all over the place...
