You didn't scrape that barrel deep enough, corby.
The vast majority of your Moslem heroes fought for the allies on the eastern front.
If you'd bothered to read on a little, even the Muslim Encyclopedia admits/boasts that hundreds of thousands rebelled and/or 'disappeared'.
500,000 made no pretence at all and simply defected to the German army.
I'm afraid the Muslims were as trustworthy then as they are today.
The Muslim Brotherhood (the political leaders of Islam) were firmly on the side of the Axis forces.

While on the subject of Muslims and WW2, this makes interesting reading from Wikipedia.
Erwin Rommel was almost as popular as Hitler. "Heil Rommel" was reportedly a common greeting in Arab countries. Some believed the Germans would free them from the rule of the old colonial powers France and Britain.[citation needed] After France's defeat by Nazi Germany in 1940, some Arabs were chanting against the French and British around the streets of Damascus: "No more Monsieur, no more Mister, Allah's in Heaven and Hitler's on earth." Posters in Arabic stating "In heaven God is your ruler, on earth Hitler" were frequently displayed in shops in the towns of Syria.
After the Golden Square Iraqi regime was defeated by pro-British forces, Rashid Ali, the Mufti, and other Iraqi veterans took refuge in Europe, where they supported Axis interests. They were particularly successful in recruiting several tens-of-thousands of Muslims for membership in German Schutzstaffel (SS) units, and as propagandists for the Arabic-speaking world. The range of collaborative activities was wide. For instance, Anwar Sadat, who later became president of Egypt, was a willing co-operator in Nazi Germany's espionage according to his own memoirs.

/// Quite a lot of people collaborated with the Nazi Regime, one way or another. I'm not quite sure why anyone needs to pick on the Muslims who did so in particular. ///
Simply because in this instance we happen to be talking about Muslims.
If you want to start your own thread about other none Muslim Nazi collaborators, please feel free.
