the islam that was practiced during WWII was a moderate form as many were still subjects of the british empire. so they couldn't really cut loose like they have today. They did have violent clashes with jews in palestine in the 1920's & 1930's and wahabism wasn't that well known then.
this has me wondering.. did any of the muzzies fight the nazis? I'm sure a few did. but my source info on that area during the WWII 1942 N. Africa campaign is silent on this.
terrorism of the style that we are familiar with was unknown in that area.
the closest thing to terrorism in that area is the Armenian genocide committed by the unrepentant Turks of the post-Ottoman empire under Ataturk rule.
