What do muslims think of the holocaust? you lot tell me pwease!

How many Muslims were killed? Were they killed specifically for being Muslim?
I personally never heard of Muslims being persecuted by the Nazi regime, so you could be right.

Its not just the Muslims either. No body knows out the Gypsy (Roma) persecution during that time. I know because my Dad told me, because he saw it on a documentary on tv. Google it.

I know that Roma have been persecuted and killed in mass numbers, its a well known fact. It's not a well known fact that Muslims were persecuted though, so I'd like to see some evidence for it. Its true the number of Muslims in Germany decreased during the war but that is not a proof enough of their persecution.

I dont know about Muslims in Germany. But 15,000 Crimean Tatar Muslims were sent to the death camps too...

Many Romas living in Romania, Bulgaria, Greece and Yugoslavia are Muslims... they might be killed too..

Plus many Muslims fight with the Soviet army.... they might be part of the POWs sent to the death camps...

The questions is whether anyone was killed specifically because of their Islamic faith. Muslim Roma were killed because of their skin not faith, the same with Tatars, and Soviet soldiers were killed for being soliders.

The Nazis didn't really care what religion you where as long as it didn't stop you fighting/working for the Reich. The Jews weren't killed for their religion either.

The Soviet Union's Islamic authorities actually declared Jihad on Germany, but probably only because the government told them to.

You're right, they were killed for their ethnicity, Jews are both a religious and an ethic group.
Well, that's basically what I'm trying to say. The Nazis didn't kill Muslims for being Muslims.
They did persecute Jehovah's witnesses, mainly for the reasons you pointed out and also a large part of the catholic clergy, especially in Poland.

Of course, the Nazis didnt kill the Muslims because of their religious background.... in fact there were Muslims in both sides.

Like Woodrow said, the Holocaust should not be exclusively for the Jews...

..and there were Muslim victims and the most important thing is that the Muslims played important roles in saving many Jews from the Holocaust which should be highlighted...so no Muslims can deny holocaust...
