Iraq
In Iraq, in 1931, the Party of National Brotherhood was founded, a right-wing pan-Arab nationalist party, this party was also deeply anti-monarchist because the King of Iraq is considered by the nationalists to be servile to the British. The party took full power in 1941 after the coup d'état of Rashid Ali al-Gaylani but was dissolved after the Anglo-Iraqi War where the Iraqi insurgents (supported and armed by the Vichy regime) and the Axis forces German and Italian were defeated by the British. The "hymn of the bayonets", music of the Iraqi insurgents during the Anglo-Iraqi War, mentions jihad.
In Baghdad, after al-Gaylani, the Arab population organized farhuds, pogroms against the Jews.
Italy
In Italy, some members of the far-right converted to Islam through contact with Arab nationalists, such as , an Eurasianist writer who, after his conversion, remained neofascist.
