日本・日本人が悪魔で随所随所でそのように言及しないとそれは間違ったナラティブである？

China's Muslims and Japan's Empire: Centering Islam in World War II (Islamic Civilization and Muslim Networks) Paperback – Illustrated, November 16, 2020

 Revealing the little-known story of Japan's interest in Islam during its occupation of North China, Hammond shows how imperial Japanese aimed to defeat the Chinese Nationalists in winning the hearts and minds of Sino-Muslims, a vital minority population. Offering programs that presented themselves as protectors of Islam, the Japanese aimed to provide Muslims with a viable alternative&;and, at the same time, to create new Muslim consumer markets that would, the Japanese hoped, act to subvert the existing global capitalist world order and destabilize the Soviets.

The problem with a dishonest, kneejerk thread like this one is it fails to differentiate between a moral denunciation and a scholarly work of history, whose main objective is to understand and elaborate. The latter is not a rejection of the former. Understanding is not justifying https://t.co/vttLiIDObI

概要読んでも別に日本の所業を正当化をしているようにも思えない。日本の勢力拡大のためにやっていたわけだろう？

日本・日本人が悪魔で随所随所でそのように言及しないとそれは正当なナラティブではないように思っている歴史家たちーーそしてジャーナリストたちーーでもいるのか？
