Birds of a feather Adolf Hitler and the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem
Hajj Amin al-Husseini the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem, was viciously anti-Semitic, he was the leader of Muslim fundamentalists in Palestine, during the years of the Holocaust he resided in Berlin. Al-Husseini was a fanatical opponent of Jewish immigration to Palestine, he had an unrelenting hatred of the Jews and the British. His mission as an anti-Semitic terrorist began in April 1920, when he and his followers went on a murderous rampage, attacking Jews, and looting Jewish shops, nevertheless he was appointed the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem by the British in 1922.
In the early 1930's, al-Husseini began to make contact with the new Nazi government of Germany, in late March 1933, he requested Nazi help in eliminating Jewish settlements in Palestine, in return he offered, a pan-Islamic Jihad in alliance with Germany against Jews around the world. In 1935 when the anti-Jewish Nuremberg laws were introduced, congratulations were sent especially from Morocco and Palestine, where the Nazi propaganda machine had been most active. It is interesting to note that the leader of Syria's Socialist Nationalist Party imagined himself as an Arab Hitler, and placed a swastika on his party's banner.
The anti-Jewish worldview of al-Husseini, was endorsed by the leader of the Baath party in Syria, who said “We are racists, admiring Nazism, reading its books, and other sources”
The Grand Mufti of Jerusalem, al-Husseini moved his base to Lebanon in 1938 and then to Iraq in 1939, where he helped to establish the strongly pro-German Rashid Alial-Gaylani as prime minister, his fervent loyalty towards Nazi Germany, was increasingly appreciated by the German government, and he received an invitation to base his activities in Berlin. He arrived in Berlin on 28 November 1941, three weeks later, on 28 November 1941, Husseini met Hitler for the first time, when he offered to raise an Arab legion to help Hitler to carry out his extermination of the Jews.
From the very beginning of his stay in Berlin the al-Husseini was portrayed in Nazi propaganda as the spiritual and religious leader of Islam.,from his Arab bureau office in Berlin he mobilised political and military support for the Nazi regime. Anwar Sadat the post-war Egyptian leader who negotiated a peace deal with Israel admitted working as a German spy for al-Husseini. There is very little doubt that the Mufti fully supported the extermination of the Jews.
In 1943 al-Husseini travelled on a number of occasions to Bosnia, where he helped to form a Bosnian Muslim SS company, the notorious “ Hanjar troopers” who massacred 90% of Bosnian Jews, and burned countless churches and villages. In November 1943 he used German radio, to send virulent anti-Jewish messages, such as “Kill the Jews wherever you find them”.
At the end of WW2, al-Husseini avoided trial as a war criminal by fleeing to Egypt, where he was given political asylum. Yasser Arafat the future Palestinian leader, became a devoted protégé of the Grand Mufti, who brought over a former Nazi commando to Egypt to teach Arafat and others how to fight. al-Husseini died in Lebanon in 1974.
NB Hitler usually concluded his historical speculation about Germans becoming Muslims by remarking “ You see, it's been our misfortune to have the wrong religion. Why didn't we have the religion of the Japanese, who regard sacrifice for the Fatherland as the highest good. The Mohammedan religion too would have been much more compatible to us than Christianity. Why did it have to be Christianity with its meekness and flabbiness”
