Mulsim divisions[edit]

how come, despite the fact you have an image of the Grand Mutfi of Jerusalem, you do nhoy point out the 21st, 25 and 13th Waffen SS divisions were all moslem divisions. The Grand Mufti told moslems to join and they did in droves. I have photos of the 25th praying, which shows them in moslems prayer, but my bad expereinces with wikipedia means i wouldn't waste my time offering them — Preceding unsigned comment added by 45.137.136.30 (talk) 22:56, 25 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Several things. The 25th Waffen Grenadier Division of the SS Hunyadi (1st Hungarian) was a Hungarian, not Muslim SS division. Perhaps you are thinking of the 23rd? With regards to the 13th, 21st and 23rd divisions, the fact that the rank-and-file were mostly Muslim is clearly explained in each of the articles, and although it hasn't been mentioned in the lead of this article to this point, it is mentioned in the lead of the other two. I've added it to the lead of this article, although I've also noted that several hundred Catholic Albanians were also members of the division. It isn't clear to me exactly what else could be done to make it clear they were predominantly recruited from Muslim people. I'm open to ideas of course.
