The editors of Barid al-Sharq also published an Arabic- language brochure with the title Islam and the Jews (''al-Islam wa-l-Yahud''), based on a series of articles that the journal had run earlier under the same title. Numerous copies were distributed in Tunis. In spring 1942, the German consulate in Tangier reported the "confiscation" of several boxes of the brochure by Spanish officials. Files stored in the archives of the Foreign Office in Berlin indicate that the distribution of Barid al-Sharq in the Tangier zone repeatedly caused friction between German officials and the local Spanish administration during the North African campaign. The SS played only a small role in Germany's propaganda efforts targeting the Middle East and North Africa. Perhaps the most significant example was the attempt by SS officers to portray Hitler as a religious figure.</font></blockquote></ref> | The editors of Barid al-Sharq also published an Arabic- language brochure with the title Islam and the Jews (''al-Islam wa-l-Yahud''), based on a series of articles that the journal had run earlier under the same title.
