oddly enough we were studying this in my English class, It wasn't that they were in the Nazi party they were Nazi sympathizers. The enemy of my enemy is my friend is I believe the saying. Hitler and the Nazi party helped foster a lot of Anti Semantism

There were many Muslims and Arab nationalists who sympathized and worked with Nazi Germany, although I couldn't say just how many actually held Nazi Party membership. Google Mohammad Amin al-Husayni, Grand Mufti of Jerusalem, for starters.
Bosnian Muslims formed an entire division of the Waffen SS.
Turkey remained neutral during WWII.

Not that I've heard of, but then again there weren't Italians in the Nazi party either as it wasn't some sort of axis club. It was a German political party, if you weren't part of Germany or a German living in a conquered territory you weren't getting in.
Oh and while they might have been allies, you're ignoring their racial politics. They might have justified letting some Afghans or Persians as Aryans, but Turks? Not likely with those screw balls in charge.

One Muslim was tutored by Himmler. His name was Michel Aflouk. After World War Two he went to Syria and began the Ba'ath party which eventually ruled Syria under Assad and Iraq under Saddam Hussein. Aflouk even had a little Hitlerian moustache.
