Nazis und der Nahe Osten: Wie der islamische Antisemitismus entstand
1937 kam mit der Broschüre „Islam und Judentum“ eine neue Form von Judenhass in die Welt: der islamische Antisemitismus. Die Nationalsozialisten taten alles, um diese neue Hassbotschaft mithilfe ihrer arabischsprachigen Radiopropaganda zu verankern. Das Buch beleuchtet dieses bislang unbekannte Kapitel deutscher Vergangenheit. Es präsentiert neue Archivfunde, die belegen, wie sich das Judenbild im Islam zwischen 1937 und 1948 unter dem Einfluss dieser Propaganda und sonstiger Nazi-Aktivitäten veränderte.
Dieser neue Blick auf die Nahostgeschichte ermöglicht eine präzisere Beurteilung der Gegenwart: Was genau ist „islamischer Antisemitismus“? Wie tritt er gegenwärtig in Deutschland und Frankreich in Erscheinung? Was macht ihn besonders gefährlich?
Erst wenn wir begreifen, wie stark die moderne Nahostgeschichte von den Nachwirkungen des Nationalsozialismus geprägt ist, werden wir den Judenhass in dieser Region und dessen Echo unter Muslimen in Europa richtig deuten und adäquate Gegenmaßnahmen entwickeln können.
