Infrequently i've read the works of a number of revisionist who have found iranian sounding names and cliamed these as proof of iranian participation, unfortunately if you do the scholarship you'll uncover that these iranian sounding names are in fact azeri names and always attached to anti-soviet azeri nationalist units in the caucausus. ( funny note, the u.s. government is actually using nostalgia for these azeri-waffen units to recruit azeri nationalist to overthrow the current cuckoo nest theology in tehran)<br /><br />3) The war between iran and iraq started in the beginning of the 80's, the grand mufti you speak of was very much dead by then, the then contemporay mufti of juresalem , like much of the sunni religious orthodoxy, came out in favour of saddam hussein and his sunni oriented government. <br /><br />4) kudos<br /><br />I don't intend to be overly critical, in fact i believe you do a great service by looking at current affairs from unexpected angles, it makes the mind sharper and what have you. But the iranians are not nazis, they don't ascribe to anything like a master race ideology nor are they even fascist. They believe in a kooky hybrid between theology and a very byzintine parlimentary style democracy. Their leadership is elected, though vetted more like the americans than in britain :). And they are very shrewd diplomats; as we have seen thy'veplayed a very weak hand superbly. I understand that some believe the iranians are out to wipe out all jews, but this seems to be very much paranoia not rooted in reality but rather in iranian scare tactics. The iranian goal seems to be to rewrite the terms of the peace of 1945 to give themselves more say at table of major world powers, and they seem to be achieving that goal.<br /><br />cheers.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15627892.post-85469415247219223482006-10-19T13:45:00.000-04:002006-10-19T13:45:00.000-04:00Some questions:

If there were more englishmen than Iranians, then you agree there were Iranians in the Waffen, correct?<br /><br />3. If the Grand Mufti was willing to help Iran against Iraq, why wouldn't they let him in as the condition for asylum from the British?<br /><br />4. Based on the sources quoted in my post, I apparently had better luck using Google.<br /><br />5. Besides Google, did you check books, such as:<br />The East Came West: Muslim, Hindu & Buddhist Volunteers in the German Armed Forces, 1941-1945 edited by Antonio Munoz?Daled Amoshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17646808702899584547noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15627892.post-16981032558629391972006-10-19T13:03:00.000-04:002006-10-19T13:03:00.000-04:00Me said

I'm a historian, a military historian, there were more englishmen in the waffen than there were iranians(or anything that could be remotely called iranian) does that make the english nazis?(before you answer that pay some attention to how many englshmen layed down their lives to free the victims of the concentration camps) The sunni mufti of jerusalem calling the shots in the shia heartland of iran? If you tune into cnn or bbc you'll see why that's highly implausible. "Allah is your master in heaven adaolf hitler is your master on earth"? No my friend, in islam i believe the right slogan would be "allah is your master in heaven , hell and on earth" and saying otherwise would get you a nice little public stoning.<br /><br />I've done a little google of iran's participation in the holocaust and the only thing i ran across was an article in french written by a french jewish woman explaining how her father was given a false iranian passport that allowed them to leave france after the occupation, apparently the iranians had made some agreement with the nazis that their citizens would be treated the same regardless of religion, what horrible people.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15627892.post-1148177792861819572006-05-20T22:16:00.000-04:002006-05-20T22:16:00.000-04:00The issue of the name change is not definite--whic...The issue of the name change is not definite--which I indicated.<BR/>Still, I would be interested in your source for saying this.<BR/><BR/>As far as no one listening to the Mufti because he was Sunni--then why was he allowed free reign in Iran?<BR/>Why did Iran provide oil to Hitler?<BR/>What about the Iranians who joined the Handszar Division?<BR/><BR/>You make Iran sound like something out of the movie Casablanca.<BR/>It wasn't.Daled Amoshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10797432517780083437noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15627892.post-1148098484442449262006-05-20T00:14:00.000-04:002006-05-20T00:14:00.000-04:00nonsense.

No one listens to the "mufti" in Iran. Iran like many other countries was the scene of many activities from all sides, so the fact that Nazis were also there besides British and Americans etc is of no consequence. <BR/>The story about name change is proven false many times before.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15627892.post-1139971213711579362006-02-14T21:40:00.000-05:002006-02-14T21:40:00.000-05:00Interesting material, Thanks.1) Like the infamous ...Interesting material, Thanks.<BR/><BR/>1) Like the infamous Mufti, today's "Brown" Arabs still live with the same illusion that 'white' Hitler would spare them...<BR/><BR/>2) But clearly the Arabization of Iranians that had the major boost at the Mufti's, is one of the main causes of radical Islamic Iran of today - world's ever greatst menace.<BR/><BR/>http://lightonthings.blogspot.comThe Reality Showhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12204619841793324620noreply@blogger.com
