The Germans helped start the first few arab nationalism movement which turned into the baathist parties the British and French on the Other hand supported the Islamists.
Wait, but wasn't it the British agent Lawrence of Arabia who helped to incite Arab nationalism against the Turks? And the French under Napoleon tried the same with the Egyptians.
AFAIK Germany did however assist the Arabs of North Africa and Palestine along with some parts of Iraq to overthrow the British and French, the Egyptians were anticipating a major victory from the German Afrika Korps, which, unfortunately never came, however there were German supported Arab revolutionaries who later formed the MB and Ba'athist parties.
