It is a story that needs to be told.

Whatever race colour or creed we humans seem to have almost infinite capacity for hatred.<BR/><BR/>I really wish it want the case. I love the backwaters of history as you will have seen on the Poor Mouth. While you had the likes of the Mufti of Jerusalem who helped set up teh Bosnian and Albanian muslim SS divisions (the Handschar and the Skanderborg) you have ordianry decent people in North Africa who did the right thing at great personal risk.<BR/><BR/>History is full of these acts but they tend to be obscured by the evil ones.jams o donnellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17315325008175184363noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19492813.post-1160514621440297012006-10-10T22:10:00.000+01:002006-10-10T22:10:00.000+01:00I hate it when people have nothing productive to s...I hate it when people have nothing productive to say, but as often is the case with me, I have to thank you for this interesting piece, jams. <BR/><BR/>I just recently found out about the complicit relationship between Nazi's and some Islamic leaders during WWII, and it shocked me. Given that there always seems to be two sides to every story, I felt secure that there must have been good Mulsims during this time too. Your story shone a light on it.<BR/><BR/>How tragic that these stories are hidden from the mainstream at a time when we are more divisive than ever. How healing would this be for people to hear that in a time of trouble people laid aside their age old battles and helped each other just under the basis of being in the brotherhood of man? <BR/> <BR/>Do you think this could ever happen again?elasticwaistbandladyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12643871078268503643noreply@blogger.com
