I remember the Muslims (And a lot of Euro-peons, and even Americans) screaming to high Heaven about Eichmann, but, being the 16 YO I was, I just thought it was just more of the usual Jewish-"Arab" hate thing.
Seemed natural that the "Arabs" would idolize and want to protect a man who was responsible for killing so many Jews.
Nobody taught anything about the Muslim-Nazi connection. We were given the impression Muslims were treated as is if they were pretty much on the WWII sidelines, "used" by both sides as opportune, but not real participants. We "learned" WWI destroyed the decadent Ottoman Empire, and now Muslims were just a bunch of Bedouin camel drivers with antique muzzle loaders, and as much relevance in the world as Bushmen or natives of Borneo.
At that time I, like most Americans, equated Islam & Muslims with "Arabs".
I am not surprised that Europeans and even Americans doing them same thing too. Well, I never learned about the Muslim's role with the Nazis. It is like swept under the rug. It is overlooked. The impact is profound even today. Look at all the terrorist attacks and killings. The Muslims would idolize and lionize this monster because he killed millions of Jews.
